Welcome back, Leave Termers! So it seems your world has transformed itself while you were gone.

Last Monday evening (Feb. 26), I attended the forum in Brace Commons about the Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity pledge banquet script.
Ok, so it's four years later. I am a senior, a soon-to-be graduate, and a woman. What do I want to do with the rest of my life?
Dartmouth College in its present incarnation is, in a social sense, a static institution. The Greek system exists, and so too do those factions on campus arrayed in opposition to it.
To the Editor: Yesterday's letter to the editor criticizing The Dartmouth for reporting on the dumping of manure on two fraternities' lawns written by Joshua Graubart '98 and Joshua Marks '96 is based on a totally fallacious parallel. The writers compare the printing of the article in The D to the printing of the Unabomber's manifesto by The New York Times and Washington Post last year.
Purim, which was celebrated on Monday evening and Tuesday, is a very special holiday on the Jewish calendar.
It is a fact that some men are more intellectually able than others. Some men are quicker than others, some are wittier, some remember more with less prompting than their peers.
To the Editor: Sachin Mehta '97 would apparently dispense with trials because he knows who is guilty and who is not guilty.
All right. So this is going to be a little fluffy. But what do they have against fluff anyway? Fluff-bashing is what I call it.
To the Editor: One year ago, The New York Times and The Washington Post bowed to threats from the terrorist known as the Unabomber and printed his fringe political tract, ostensibly in the interest of public safety.
In North Korea, history textbooks used in schools teach that Kim Il-Sung, longtime Communist dictator of North Korea, single-handedly wiped out an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers during World War II.
To the Editor: I would like to comment on Monday's article concerning the men's and women's track team showings at the Heptagonal games.
To the Editor: Since ORL announced the decision to change the East Wheelock Cluster, making it an experimental "academic" dorm, I have heard countless students complain about what a horrible idea this is.
As most of you should know by now, in a flyer distributed last week, an anonymous group related a series of incidents that happened to me after I was quoted discussing Bob Dole's appearance at Alpha Delta fraternity earlier this term.
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.
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.
After 27 games and more than four months of hockey, the fate of the 1995-96 Dartmouth men's hockey team will come down to this weekend's final two games of the regular season, when the Big Green host Harvard and Brown. Dartmouth will host the Harvard Crimson tonight at 7:30 p.m.
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.
I think everyone in the audience of the Alpha Chi Alpha discussion Monday night had the same thing on their minds.
Despite a February slump, the women's hockey team wrapped up the season in style last weekend and, in doing so, earned itself the home-ice advantage for the first round of the ECAC tournament. The Big Green, seeded third, will battle Northeastern, seeded sixth, on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
