Alumnae paved way for current students
Dartmouth women of today benefit from past tribulations
Dartmouth women of today benefit from past tribulations
Well, it's summertime. The birds are chirping, the bugs are buzzing and the term is beginning. And since the term just began, I thought that I would make some predictions for this summer for all of you to ponder. Within the first month of the term, someone will find President Freedman in a can of Diet Pepsi.
Before I matriculated at Dartmouth, I thought I knew the school pretty well. I thought either I would despise the rural environment and become completely bored with the College, or I would enjoy the serene country club lifestyle. Born and raised in New York City, I knew myself to be a subway rat and city-dweller.
Over our 20-odd years as students, I'm sure we've all been given (more than once) the advice of choosing a hero to model ourselves after: our mothers, our fathers, our teachers, our presidents, sometimes our peers.
We must go through Dartmouth twice - once in the four years we're given here in Hanover, another time over the rest of our lives.
"Fundamental to the principle of independent learning are the requirements of honesty and integrity in the performance of academic assignments both in the classroom and outside." The academic honor principle is a pillar which upholds the basic educational mission of the College.
The Class Day Committee, charged with choosing a ceremony to replace the century-old tradition of breaking clay pipes on the Lone Pine stump, came up with a new ritual that maintains all the symbolism of the old. This year, seniors will drink a toast to their class from clay mugs, and then break the mugs on the Lone Pine.
Suspend your disbelief for this column, and imagine a special place with me. This place is called Summersville. In Summersville, the boys date boys and the girls date girls.
Students have still not seen a copy of an internal report on the education department that recommends its closing.
If you walk out of the Hop via the exit near the mailboxes, you will see a plaque embedded in the Hanover Inn on your left.
We are not political radicals, but self-reliant, responsible hard workers
Establishing a socially viable atmosphere in the New Hampshire wilderness has proven as difficult as keeping elements of urban life out of it.
A friend and I were chatting the other night at Food Court about some of the different classes we have taken this year and about the love of learning in general. He mentioned his Government 5 class, which changed his outlook on life.
The explanations for the Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid's recommendation that Dartmouth change from NCAA Division I-AA to Division III are dubious and discriminatory. The report endorses the change because it would eliminate 100 recruited athletes, who average $2,525 more per year in financial aid than non-athletes.
Spring term is almost over and for the Freshman class the first year experience is almost at an end.
Cheating in Hart's class harms academic integrity
Today's issue of The Dartmouth reports that a clay mugs and toast ceremony will replace the old clay pipe smashing ceremony at Class Day. I was instantly enraptured by this idea of participating in a toast with a clay mug and then smashing the mug on the stump of the Lone Pine.
Within the next week, the Class of 1993 Senior Executive Committee must create a ceremony to replace the now defunct clay pipes tradition.
The time has come for me to join The Dartmouth Review debate. Why do the editors of The Review seem to think that it is fun to offend as many people as possible in order to prove their point that the First Amendment is unassailable? What I find frustrating about The Review is that I often agree with them on Dartmouth issues.
Every weekend here at Dartmouth, students engage in multifarious extracurricular activities. With a little luck, such activities will have very little to do with abortion.
