Sometimesit seems that Dartmouth is a breeding ground for doubles. How many times during the course of a day do we wave to someone, only to realize on closer inspection that we waved to the wrong person and then try to pretend that we were waving to someone off in the distance?
Ordinarily deans are prevented from commenting publicly about private conversations with students because of our professional and legal obligation to protect the rights of students to confidentiality.
Atthe end of Spring term 1994, I approached Dean of Freshmen Peter Goldsmith and recounted to him an incident that had occurred earlier in the quarter.
Thestory had all the makings of a juicy spy novel -- espionage, modern technology, national security and the impending visit of the President of the United States.
Dartmouth is finally excited about something, it seems, and his name is Bill Clinton. Who would have guessed that Clinton's arrival and the relocation of Commencement would have caused such an uproar, so much ill-will amongst the '95s? I can see their point though.
Ona wall of the Bartlett Language Resource Center hangs a reproduction of the Rosetta Stone. As we blithely go about our respective affairs, it is difficult to remember the story that this black piece of basalt has to tell, and the exertions men have made to decipher it. The importance of the Rosetta Stone is in the crucial role it played in the decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphic script.
Asa graduating senior, there are far more important ways to concentrate on enjoying senior spring.
AsI walked across the Green on Tuesdaymorning, I noticed the details of the campus: The clear blue sky, the color of summer days or a baby's eyes, accented only by a few faint clouds; the mountains of New Hampshire peeking out from behind each building -- "God's country," as I've heard many alumni refer to it; Baker Tower, tall, strong, everlasting, set against this brilliant backdrop. And one more symbol among all these of nature and purity -- the American Flag flying, at full mast, higher than it has in the past few days.
Asmany of you know, the annual Take Back the Night March was held this past Thursday. The march itself was as empowering as I expected, and possibly even more so.
To the Editor: I'm glad that Dartmouth is coming to terms with its nightmares ("A Commencement Nightmare," April 19, 1995) because I was beginning to think I was the only one having them. Just last night I had this nightmare where everything I took for granted was being torn apart by our nation's leaders.
I never thought that I would see the daywhen there was something that was nearly as universally unpopular as politics in the United States.
Haveyou ever wondered why certain parts of the body haven't evolved out of existence? Well this past Tuesday, I stood pondering such a physiological question.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to Dan Richman's column "Frats Must Change to Survive," (April 13, 1995). As a member of a Greek house and the Coed, Fraternity, Sorority Council, I think that we are all aware of the danger the Greek system faces.
To the Editor: Although Christopher Houpt '98 raises some valid points in his column "How Not to Get Into College" (April 25, 1995), we would like to point out that he unfortunately uses inaccurate information to validate some of his arguments.
Ashundreds of prospectives descend on Dartmouth this week, we should recall our own senior years in high school.
Whatkind of school is Dartmouth? Is this the kind of place where I would like to spend the next four years of my life? These are the kinds of questions that the many prospectives who have flooded the campus this past week have been asking.
To the Editor: I am writing to respond to Dan Richman's patronizing and ignorant commentary ("Awareness Awareness Week," April 21, 1995) regarding the "plethora of advocacy" by certain groups.
Thursdaynight, I participated in the "Take Back the Night" march for Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
Ifnothing else, the events of the last two weeks have shown that Sexual Assault is a complex issue.
