When you know you're getting old
As senior year continues to hurtle rapidly by, I have been thinking a lot about our fleeting youth.

To the Editor: After reading the article entitled "Green Card honored at 14 stores," (The Dartmouth, January 11, 1994) I fail to understand what is so attractive about the Hanover Green Card.
The Dartmouth community tries to cultivate an atmosphere conducive to education. It offers an objective, liberal program constructed with a sense of maturity and equanimity suited to such learning.
Though we enjoy the label and all of its benefits, the state of intellectualism at Dartmouth is endangered. Why?
As hard as it may be to believe, the Clinton White House is under siege once again. Allegations of criminality, corruption and cover-up are being levelled almost as often as requests for the appointment of a special prosecutor.
To the Editor: Reading the cartoons depicting Inner Bitch scenarios in yesterday's D, I could not help but laugh.
Just about everyone is talking about the new Collis. Much of the conversation is about the Lone Pine Tavern.
To the Editor: Having served as a student member on the Campus Center Building Committee since 1991, I feel that the Dartmouth Community may have set standards and expectations for Collis higher than any building could ever live up to.
To the Editor: As a recent participant on the Budapest Foreign Study Program, I think it necessary that the Dartmouth community realize the significance of the discontinuance of this FSP. Social science majors are deprived of an incredible opportunity to experience Hungary and the rest of East-Central Europe, but the real loss is back in Hanover.
The new Collis has opened, and yes, it is beautiful. It is bright, it is big, and despite the shortage of seating, the food is remarkably quick and tasty.
To the Editor: In his critique of the Graduate Associate pilot program, Ethan Ostrow '96 has some valid arguments (Graduate students not needed in dorms, The Dartmouth, November 18, 1993). I fully agree that "Dartmouth's attention is primarily fixed on the development of undergraduate life, both academic and residential." But I don't understand Ostrow's complaint that graduate students in the dorms don't further these goals.
The campus experienced yet another shouting match this fall between the pro-Greeks and the anti-Greeks.
To the Editor: I write to offer corrections to a misperception which The Dartmouth has perpetuated in its latest issues, once in a report on the Conservative Union at Dartmouth's crusade against Spare Rib ("Conservative Crusade," The Dartmouth, Nov.
To the Editor: There is more than meets the eye in the recent hullabaloo about The Spare Rib Sex Issue. As an advertiser in that issue, albeit unwittingly, I wish to respond. It has been the policy of Gnomon Copy to hear every request that comes before us from the Dartmouth community -- for advertising and for support in many other ways.
To the Editor: Dartmouth Travel did not agree to withdraw its ads from Spare Rib, nor did I meet with Bill Hall.
To the Editor: I was quite upset when I read Matt Berry's recent editorial "'Soft-porn' in Spare Rib was offensive to me" (The Dartmouth, Nov.
The Dartmouth received nearly 80 letters in response to Matthew Berry's column "Soft-porn in Spare Rib was offensive to me." Of these, the vast majority supported Spare Rib and/or its right to publish the "Sex Issue." Two of the letters supported Berry and the Conservative Union at Dartmouth and two discussed the issue without expressing an opinion.
In response to the controversy surrounding the latest issue of Spare Rib, I would like to clarify and discuss the stances taken by our advertisers. Although every business had a different response, they all agreed that they would not let anyone influence them in deciding whether or not they would advertise.
To the Editor: As a "responsible feminist" I feel compelled to respond to Matthew Berry's editorial about the Spare Rib "sex issue." I see nothing wrong with the Spare Rib issue.
Are things at Dartmouth College better than when you first got here? Students and professors, employees and administrators, alumni and the Board of Trustees should all pause for a moment or two of introspection. How is Dartmouth College doing these days? The question is asked often by college guide books and national media surveys of American schools, by prospective students and their parents. In a discussion about his years as College President, James Freedman said, "You go to bed thinking they may not say anything about you 25 years from now.
