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." It chronicles the lives of the writer Dorothy Parker and her intellectual circle of friends that comprised the famous Algonquin Circle -- a group that pretty much sat around in their hotel lounge and drank themselves silly.

College Must Stop Supporting Frats

|

It has been over a year now since the Committee on Community and Diversity at Dartmouth released its report which concluded that little had changed since the 1989 report of the Committee on Diversity.

No law prohibiting underage drinking

|

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." Surely you incorrectly paraphrase McEwen; there is no such thing in New Hampshire as an arrest for underage drinking nor for public intoxication, as there is no law prohibiting either of these.

My Education at Dartmouth

|

Seasonal Fashion Sense

|

As we begin 1995 and the College celebrates 23 years of coeducation, I would like to discuss an important element in the quest for equitable gender relations at Dartmouth -- fashion. 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.

Sex, Love and Liberalism

|

When Chris Kelly '96, suggests in his column "Lessons to Learn From 'Spanking The Monkey'" (Jan. 30) that there should be more explicit and widespread campus discourse about sex, he champions a central, and deplorable, aspect of modernity: the replacement of the idea of love with the reality of sex. Kelly is not the first to revolt against love in the name of sex.
