The Summer of Our Content

By Marc Yasuda | August 20, 1996

As we now approach that all too familiar pre-finals, running-to-Kiewit, overflowing-anxiety-filled last week of the term, a little dose of reflection and dissection of our Sophomore Summer and beyond seems to be a natural last step.

Individual Academic Responsibility is a Crucial Part of Students' Lives

By J. Brooks Weaver | August 20, 1996

To the Editor: We find it interesting that the responses to our letter regarding academic responsibility at Dartmouth completely sidestep the issue at hand, apparently finding petty personal attacks a more appropriate route to take.

A Farewell to Sophomore Summer and Innocence

By Aaron Klein | August 16, 1996

I love how Dartmouth terms are organized. The first three weeks center around how you want the term to be, the next four are all about how quickly the term is going, and the last three are done in complete panic, reminiscing about how the term was. Well, here we are, more than half way through our ('98's) time at Dartmouth.

Minority Students Work Hard at Dartmouth

By Mulei Nthenge | August 16, 1996

To the Editor: I read the short retort by Matthew T. Welander '97 and J. Brooks Weaver '97 [Connecting Lack of Social Options with poor Academic Performance is Preposterous, August 11, The Dartmouth] and my reaction ran the whole gamut of outright disgust through sympathetic astonishment and right back to disgust. It piqued my curiosity -- no, let's try the honest approach -- it horrified me and saddened me at the same time because that column was written by two supposedly intelligent personalities who sound as though they have the time to discuss the existence (rather, the non-existence) of a Student Assembly at Dartmouth College -- quick examples: "It's That Time of Year Again," April 9, 1996, The Dartmouth; "Welander Portrays Assembly Inaccurately," May 2, 1996, The Dartmouth; etc.) but who could not afford the time to be present at the discussion of the issues they were commenting on. You see, it is true we all came here to study and face the huge academic challenge but to divorce academic performance from the social sphere is sheer folly.

Search for Continuity with the D-Plan

By Michelle Kraemer | August 14, 1996

With one week left in the term, I find myself ready for a familiar ritual: packing my life into Xerox boxes, locating homes for my fridge and futon and bidding farewell to a room I have known for only ten short weeks.

Studio Art Department Supports All Art Forms

By Esme Thompson | July 31, 1996

To the Editor: I was sorry to see in Aaron Klein's column "An Illiberal Art Department" [The Dartmouth, July 25, 1996] that Mr. Klein had misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misquoted what I conveyed to him at our meeting in October of 1995. In answer to his accusation that the Studio Art Department "dismisses" glassblowing as an art, let me point out that there is a senior major in our department whose main area of interest is glassblowing.
