Regarding the Jackets

By Jennifer Parkinson | February 27, 2001

To the Editor: Reading about the truly deplorable incident at Psi Upsilon last week, I was reminded of a situation that arose during my senior year, in my last term as president of KDE, which struck me then and now as in many ways paradigmatically symbolic of race and gender relations at Dartmouth. It was the Tuesday before Homecoming, and at the conclusion of an otherwise routine Coed Fraternity Sorority Council meeting the president of Gamma Delt casually requested that the fraternity presidents stay after.

Finally, Polls That Really Mean Something

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 24, 1996

President Clinton currently leads Senator Dole by 19 points, according to the New York Times on the World Wide Web (the only way for a busy coed to get news). That alone is enough to cause a diehard bleeding liberal Democrat like me to walk around flashing a big silly grin, even in the face of such recent and festering local adversities as midterms, endless rain, the demise of Collis-as-we-knew-it, etc. But wait, it gets better.

Good Reasons to Vote

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 17, 1996

The idealistic blood boiled in my veins when I read "Why Vote" by Joe Peters '99. Imagine a classmate of mine devoting an entire column to urging the Dartmouth Community not to vote! As it is, young people vote far less than any other group in this country.

Sophomoric Reflections

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 3, 1996

It's not so easy being a sophomore. First of all, no Dartmouth student ever fully recovers from the shock of no longer being a freshman. Like a rude awakening from a pleasant dream by the shriek of a fire alarm at 4 a.m.; like a rockin' dorm party disseminated by the ominous knock of Safety and Security at the door (oh yeah -- but that was last year too) sophomore year hits hard. Sophomores live in the River (except for a few enviable ORL staffers, or those who have finagled the system.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

By Jennifer Parkinson | September 26, 1996

Today, I'd like to kick off the year by risking offending a group of people whom it could be dangerous to offend. I'd like to write this column about columnists. It's perhaps a bit bizarre, or at the very least, self serving, to write about writers, but hey, we're a bizarre, self-serving bunch. Monday night, I went to a columnist meeting at the brand-new offices of The Dartmouth.

Voters Should Get To Know Candidates

By Jennifer Parkinson | April 12, 1996

To the Editor: It's Tuesday night. I've just returned from Collis Common Ground, where the candidates for Student Assembly president and vice president presented their views and themselves to a pathetically small gathering of students.

Harvard fans outnumbered on own turf

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 30, 1995

A crowd of Dartmouth students braved the traffic and driving rains to get to Cambridge, Mass. this weekend -- some to see the Big Green football team crush the Harvard University Crimson and others just to get a taste of the nearly-forgotten city life. "I've always loved Boston," Noah Rubin-Schneiderman '98 said.

ORC still marred with unoffered courses

By Jennifer Parkinson | October 4, 1995

Despite efforts to pare down the 700-page Organizations, Regulations and Courses book, nearly one out of every 12 courses listed in the tome is not offered over the next academic year. Of the 1,523 courses listed in the ORC, 105 are not offered in the period from Fall term 1995 through Spring term 1997.

Women depicterd in new light

By Jennifer Parkinson | September 27, 1995

Sarah Johnston '97 will soon distribute several hundred free copies of "Women of the Ivy League," a literary and artistic publication produced by Ivy League women in response to a recent Playboy magazine pictorial of the same name. Johnston, who spearheaded anti-Playboy protests at Dartmouth last spring, said she will leave the magazines in high-traffic areas like the Collis Student Center and Thayer Dining Hall. The October Playboy issue featured photographs of 26 Ivy League women in various states of undress, including two Dartmouth undergraduates.
