Who Do You Trust?

By Laura Zachman | October 7, 1996

To borrow a phrase from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), do you count yourself among "[President Bill Clinton's] high taxing, free-spending, promise-breaking, Social Security-taxing, health care-socializing, drug-coddling, power-grabbing, business-busting, lawsuit-loving, U.N.

A Free Lunch

By Julie Sloane | October 4, 1996

Free bagel brunch in Collis Common Ground." Your pulse quickens. You're there. This campus has an amazing capacity to pounce on free stuff.

Greek System Isn't for Everyone

By Rachel R. Gilliar | October 3, 1996

Last Spring, Stephen Schmidt'97 wrote a column titled, "A Voice for the Greek System" [May 17, 1996] in which he urged every member of the Class of 1999 to rush a Greek house, no matter what their personal opinions may be.

Sophomoric Reflections

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 3, 1996

It's not so easy being a sophomore. First of all, no Dartmouth student ever fully recovers from the shock of no longer being a freshman. Like a rude awakening from a pleasant dream by the shriek of a fire alarm at 4 a.m.; like a rockin' dorm party disseminated by the ominous knock of Safety and Security at the door (oh yeah -- but that was last year too) sophomore year hits hard. Sophomores live in the River (except for a few enviable ORL staffers, or those who have finagled the system.

Major Headaches

By Laura Mannix | October 3, 1996

So," said my Harvard-educated dentist, coming into the small sterile room and walking over to the chair where I sat. "Where do you go to school, Miss Mannix?" "Dartmouth College." "Really!?" he said, sounding shocked.

De Gustibis

By Matthew Lubin | October 2, 1996

The pace of life at Dartmouth leaves time for very few lingering meals, of the sort good writers can render with such mouthwatering abandon.

A Vote for Bill Clinton Is a Vote for E.T.

By Marc Mcdonald | October 2, 1996

If you watch television, you can definitely tell it is an election year. Instead of micro-Smiling Steve driving around the Lebanon Pharmacy in his Tyco Black Thunder four-wheeler, there's campaign message after campaign message telling the viewers who they should vote for. A vote for Bob Dolegingrich, according to ads paid for by Clinton/Gore '96, means cuts in Medicare, social security, education, and anything else the government helps fund, in order to pay for Dolegingrich's 15 percent across-the-board tax cut. In his ads, Bob Dole states that a vote for Clinton means ... well, he has trouble on this one considering the economy if flying.

Key to Fountain of Youth Lies in Worms

By Jennifer Dziura | October 1, 1996

Ever since human beings noticed that we have been dying -- and what's more, doing so permanently -- we have been searching for a fountain of youth. At last, we may have found our fountain in some curious mutant worms.

History of Hinman

By Jamie Bedrin | October 1, 1996

The other night as I waited in the Lone Pine Tavern for my dinner, I happened to glance around the room looking at the different artifacts from Dartmouth's history.

College Shows Double Standard for Puppet Show

By Joshua M. Winterhalt | October 1, 1996

To the Editor: Funny how the Administration wouldn't allow the Pow-Wow to be held on the green last spring because the dancers' mocassin-clad feet would damage the tender grass, yet it seems to have no problems allowing a bus to be driven onto the green and puppeteers to dance about on stilts behind a small barricade of banners driven into the precious green by wooden stakes, while hundreds, possibly a thousand more spectators than the pow-wow draws, stood in rapt attention...

Jagged Little Senior

By Sam Bonderoff | October 1, 1996

I was sitting in my room last night, a half-smoked Camel Filter casually dangling from my lips, wrapping up the evening's reading of "Richard III" for the next morning's Shakespeare class, listening to some Smashing Pumpkins album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Pretentiousness," I think feeling rather Edgar Allan Poe-esque, when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I bellowed, but it was a happy bellow, a come-on-in-and-suck-on-my-aura bellow. Two pointy figures poked in their young heads, one male, one female.

Topliff Renovations

By Aaron D. Klein | October 1, 1996

Over the summer, the Co- College invested over $1 million in renovating Topliff. I happened to get a single in the "new Topliff" and it became obvious that nobody had bothered to get any student input on the renovation process. How do I know this?

Dartmouth Appreciation

By Cara Abercrombie | September 30, 1996

After three years in Hanover, my awed, appreciative, freshman-year impression of Dartmouth has since developed into the cynical perspective of one who envisions the campus only in the framework of hum-drum everyday life.
