POINT: Sending your kids to Dartmouth

|

I honestly have never considered if I would send my kid to Dartmouth, mostly because I'm not sure how having children fits into my life plan to turn into a pile of caffeine. I did at least encourage my sister to come here, which not only qualifies me to write this column, but also makes my sister the first member of the Class of 2013 to be called out in The Mirror.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

I've decided not to follow the theme of Dartmouth families and legacies; I think they get enough facetime on these new buildings James Wright built with his bare hands.

PRIDE and Prejudice: The Queer History of Dartmouth

|

Shirley Hu / The Dartmouth Staff Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and Allied issues have made headlines in the national papers repeatedly over the past year -- from continued protests over the passage of Proposition 8 in California to the New Hampshire Senate voting to legalize same-sex marriage this past Wednesday. At the College, where The Dartmouth's own headlines have trumpeted news of the third annual PRIDE Week this past week, this week's Mirror asks, 'How has being a part of the LGBTQA community at Dartmouth changed in the past few years, and where is the community headed in the coming years?' "I feel like Dartmouth has definitely changed and become more inclusive of LGBT students, but there is still a long way to go," Ray Rodriguez '09, one of the organizers of PRIDE Week, said. The letter A is sometimes added to the acronym LGBTQ to include "allies," or people who are not LGBTQ, but advocate for the fair treatment of those who are. "In my eyes, there's a huge difference in the LGBT people that have been here for four years, and the '12s that just came in.

Out at Dartmouth (Leah S)

So, let's talk about gays at Dartmouth for a second. I have to admit, the gay community here proved to be a little different from the fantastical "college gay life" that I imagined before I arrived.

Reboot and Rally

Usually each week that I'm writing, my editor will tell me to "write about some gadgets that pertain to the theme." She didn't tell me to do that this week.

Prospie: At Pomona they had bisexual bathrooms ... uh ... I mean unisex. '11 BG: I always wanted to be like a B-side Jonas brother. '12 Girl: I think I told him mid-hook up that I didn't want to be womanized. '10 Guy: When it gets warmer, you guys should have another topless car wash. '10 Tri-Delt: Huh? '10 Guy: Yeah, that was a huge hit over the summer. '10 Tri-Delt: Umm, that didn't happen. '12 Guy: I really want to go to Berkeley for law school. '12 Girl: To be honest, I just want to get married and go shopping at the Trader Joe's. '09 KDE: Do you think "Gingers" are a race? Tabard pledge: In two weeks, I'll be wearing a diaper and you'll be spanking me with a paddle. '10 Girl: Yeah, do you have anything planned for 4/20? '11 Girl: OH NO, today is 4/20?
