Ph.D.s - will they become dinosaurs?
There is a pool of frustrated Ph.D holders who are unemployed or underemployed currently in the United States.

To the Editor: Labeling the new CFS housing policy the administration's "latest assault" on the Greek System as Jeff Caterino did in his editorial ("New CFS policy wrong," Jan.17) is inaccurate and unfair. Caterino ignores the important fact that the policy has not been officially adopted yet.
In its house editorial of Jan. 13, 1995, The Dartmouth editorial board implied that the Student Assembly had been imprudent in its informational campaign regarding Webster Hall, saying that the issue cannot be "decided in five minutes" or through an informational campaign such as the Assembly's.
To the Editor: Claire Unis's editorial ("Belief and Hypocrisy," Jan. 16) likened the Shawmut emblem to the previous Dartmouth Athletics symbol.
The administration has launched its latest assault on the Greek system. Beginning next fall, CFS houses must be occupied to a College-determined level.
This past Friday, John Strayer wrote an editorial ("Brennan is on the campaign trail," Jan.13) asserting that Jim Brennan's actions -- specifically the recent Conservative Union at Dartmouth's (CUaD) petition against freshman dorms -- were motivated by his own political self-interests. Just as Strayer claims that it is important to closely examine the actions of those in the public eye, it is at the same time equally important to examine the accusations that are made against them.
To the Editor: John Strayer's column ("Brennan is on the campaign trail" Jan. 13) attacking Jim Brennan '96 could not have been more off track.
As movies are about the closes thing I have to a religion, "Pulp Fiction," which I saw for the second time (along with a great many other people) at Spaulding Auditorium last weekend, was a huge restoration of my faith; a tireless, exhilarating jaunt through Quentin Tarantino's sublimely strange and funny Los Angeles underworld, punctuated by some of the most entertaining performances I've seen in a long time.
Most people feel a natural sense of personal pride when they ponder their family lineage and the intense struggle in which their ancestors engaged in order to cope with the arduous chore of everyday living.
This is a commentary on hypocrisy. I am guilty of it every time I eat at Collis and use some of their now individually-wrapped plastic utensils.
For most Dartmouth students, high school, and whatever image these words bring to mind, may seem like something from the distant past.
Earlier this week, when I asked the server at the Collis Cafe for a small dinner entree in my own plastic container, I received an angry look from the manager standing next to her.
Students must realize that blind cries of "Save Webster Hall" will fall on deaf ears, and instead should refocus their energy to convince the administration that students want a medium-sized programming venue. Like it or not, the administration is not likely to budge on its plan to convert Webster into a new home for Special Collections.
To the Editor: The recent SA drive to "save Webster Hall" is misguided. I enjoy events such as the Natalie Merchant concert as much as anyone, but is a shame that a building as beautiful as Webster sits empty so much of the time.
While the elections are not until next term, one person already seems to be running for President of the Student Assembly: Jim Brennan '96. After his strong showing in the last election and his subsequent political activity, Brennan has little choice but to be considered an early front runner.
Trust is a very important thing. Yet in today's remarkably cynical world, trust is incredibly hard to gain, difficult to keep and almost impossible to build into character.
To the Editor: This is a huge weekend for three Big Green teams. Tonight, men's hockey takes on Brown, currently the number 1 team in the ECAC, and the Friends of Dartmouth Hockey have donated 3,000 kazoos for the creative use of Dartmouth fans.
To the Editor: As a member of the Programming Board I understand the impact on social options that the loss of Webster Hall would incur on the Dartmouth Community.
Abortion. Assisted reproduction. Pregnancy reduction. Sperm banks. Today, choices abound, but when my grandmother was having children, a woman either could get pregnant, or she couldn't.
It's time for the Student Assembly to leave its bickering in the past. With the election of John Honovich '97 as Assembly vice president Tuesday night, the potential for continued conflict in the Assembly looms larger than ever. President Rukmini Sichitiu '95 and Honovich -- who were at each other's throats all Fall term -- should now be mature enough and realistic enough to know they must work together. They should pick non-political, achievable goals for the Assembly to work towards this term, such as the establishment of a Rape Crisis Center, an issue that both leaders say they support. Both Sichitiu and Honovich said all the right things after Honovich's election.
