Toward Better Campus Publications

|

It's great to see a discussion taking place at Dartmouth about student publications. No campus can be considered fertile ground for intellectualism without the support of those publications, insofar as that it is the publications themselves that attract, highlight and promote intellectualism.

Dartmouth's Lost Weekends

|

There's an unusual new movie playing in a handful of American cities right now called "Mrs. Parker and The Vicious Circle."

To the Editor: In your article ("College tops Ivies," Feb. 7) about Dartmouth having the highest number of alcohol arrests, you say that College Proctor Robert McEwen "said the increase in underage drinking and public intoxication arrests could be due to better enforcement."

Many observations have been made about the typical male student's proclivity for baseball caps and plaid, but little has been said of women's couture.

Laser Tag - a Different Perspective

|

First of all I have a confession to make. I, Andy Schader, was the person who's team had left and assembled a few friends so as to continue to participate in the Laser Tag tournament this past Friday night.
