Letter from the Editor

|

Marietta Smith / The Dartmouth In his speech to the Class of 2011, Conan O'Brien compared Dartmouth to its Ivy League peers by referring to it as the "cool, sexually confident lacrosse-playing younger sibling who knows how to throw a party and looks good in a down vest." Without a doubt, Dartmouth is a unique constituent in the Ivy League.

Being and Dartmouthness

Of all the benign questions I'm asked at holiday parties, the one I dread the most goes something like, "So tell me, how do you like Dartmouth?" I always feel obligated to talk about Dartmouth in terms of other schools in order to provide a frame of reference.

Bringing Home to Dartmouth

Home can be as simple as a few scattered picture frames and a collection of favorite books. Others, however, find the meaning of home to be a much more complex idea. "Home is where my clothes are," Noah Smith '15 said. For others, however, accepting a new home that is different from their hometown is a lot more difficult.

Winter sucks. To me, it means a 10-week hermitage in my room with occasional forays onto the tundra for food and beer.

We all like to complain about Dartmouth winters with wild over-exaggerations hibernating in basements, braving the tundra and so on.

Stall Street Journal ... You Need Help?

Have you been in this bathroom stall all day hiding from the demons that are out to get you? If so, you are probably a paranoid schizophrenic or on drugs. Are you using toilet paper to tie off your upper arm in order to shoot heroin into your vein?
