Good Reasons to Vote

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 17, 1996

The idealistic blood boiled in my veins when I read "Why Vote" by Joe Peters '99. Imagine a classmate of mine devoting an entire column to urging the Dartmouth Community not to vote! As it is, young people vote far less than any other group in this country.

The Know-Everythings

By Matthew Lubin | October 16, 1996

This is an analysis of that class of people called the "Know-Everythings." We all recognize this sort; these are the people who would rather die than admit that they are ever ignorant in any way.

(Here we at Dartmouth can really one-up the competition: "But of course you know Wenders' comments in the April '73 Cahiers du Cinema?" "Oh come now, darling, don't you know he recanted all that in the Spring '95 Cahiers du Dartma?") But mere accumulation of knowledge for superficial purposes is not the Know-Everythings only distinguishing feature.

Why Vote?

By Joe Peters | October 14, 1996

Does anyone out there have a good reason to vote? All year, we've been deluged with campaign propaganda and slogans like "Choose or Lose." They all somehow conclude that voting is a good thing since we have the power to do so.
