The University of California at Berkeley has built nothing short of a vast underground empire of books.
Doing some reading a short while agoo, I came across a fascinating word which I had never heard of before, pabulum.
A day or two ago I casually opened my J. Crew catalogue addressed to the Student at Dartmouth College, expecting a peek at the new spring fashions.
The Student Assembly should be congratulated for the job it has done this term. The Assembly has made tangible efforts to help students, and more importantly, it has stopped most of its internal bickering. At the beginning of Winter term, the Assembly was in shambles, as the second elected president in two years had resigned. Then-president Danielle Moore '95 quit at the end of Fall term.
To the Editor: I am all for improving the academic environment here. However, the First-Year Plan has fundamental problems.

Women's Resource Center Director Giavanna Munafo approached the administration earlier this term with a plan for a task force, made up of administrators, faculty and students, to examine the "environment for women at Dartmouth."
