Green Noise

By Sam Bonderoff | March 4, 1996

In his novel "White Noise" Don DeLillo observes the omnipresent static of modern life, the hum of refrigerators and microwaves and gargantuan shopping centers, all of which coalesce into an ineffable yet subtly oppressive atmosphere which lends the novel its title.

A Tribute to Amy

By Nikki Vines | March 4, 1996

On December 30, 1995, Dartmouth lost one of its brightest alumni, and I lost my best friend, Amy Naparstek '95. Amy called me from Montreal early that Saturday morning so that we could arrange a time to meet later that day.

One-On-One Education Ends Racism

By Chin Yoo | March 1, 1996

Even after all that's happened this term, all the rallies, speeches, columns, flyers, manure dumpings, administration promises and BlitzMail announcements, even after the activists have spoken, some people still have their eyes closed to some bare, hard facts, which, whether you like it or not, need to be recognized. First of all, everyone has a right to hold whatever beliefs they want.

Mired in Manure

By Rachel R. Gilliar | February 28, 1996

So the "moral elite" on campus agrees again -- shit is offensive. Let me be the first to congratulate certain members of the Dartmouth community -- the ones who are willing to blindly condemn the group responsible for delivering manure to Alpha Chi Alpha's and Beta Theta Pi's respective doorsteps, the group purportedly responsible for the flyer, "The Shit You Don't Hear About," that appeared outside many students' doors Monday morning.

East Wheelock Renovation an Important First Step

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 28, 1996

The Dartmouth Experience plan, recently approved by the College's Board of Trustees, is a watered-down adaptation of the proposals of the Committee on the First-Year Experience, but an important first step in integrating students' intellectual and academic experiences with the College's residential program. The plan's goals -- creating a "marriage of intellectual and social life," increasing faculty-student interaction and enriching the students' residential experiences -- are ambitious but admirable. Under the plan proposed by Dean of the College Lee Pelton, the East Wheelock Cluster will have a faculty associate living near the cluster, a cluster dean, additional programming money and improved academic and social facilities. A cluster dean and resident professor will make advising more accessible for both first-year and upperclass students. The increase in programming funds will allow the cluster to more adequately address the needs of its residents.

Students Use Methods They Condemn

By Dave Hemmer | February 27, 1996

Apparently hatred, slander and destruction of private property are the newest means of building community at Dartmouth. The distribution of the anonymously written publication "The Shit You Don't Hear About" late Sunday night represents the second hate crime at Dartmouth in less than a week. How dumping manure on fraternity lawns and dumping libelous trash on people's doorsteps can possibly build community is beyond me, but the authors of this trash had the audacity to call their work "An Informative Publication By and For the Dartmouth Community." How dare these anonymous, gutless authors claim to speak for the Dartmouth Community? These two acts of hatred should send shivers down the spine of any student who is serious about building a community on this campus, as they represent a far greater threat to community than racial slurs scrawled on a door or mud slung at a window. Those incidents, while vile, represent the isolated acts of individual bigots.

A Trip to the Stacks

By Carolyn Wachsman | February 27, 1996

So what's up with Baker? Can I say that trying to find a book in the dungeon commonly referred to as the stacks is like trying to find a Big Mac in Hanover? So I'm sitting at the computer at Baker staring in disbelief at the call number which On-Line Library swears will lead me to the book, "Tribes In Iceland Actively Engaged in the Production and Consumption of Coconut Extract and How it Affects the Economy of Japan" which will guarantee an "A" on my research paper for the class Tribes In Iceland Actively Engaged in the Production and Consumption of Coconut Extract and How it Affects the Economy of Japan 101.
