Non-majority students were descrived as 'students of color,' not 'colored students'

By Rique Feaster | October 26, 1995

To the Editor: I was quoted in the Oct. 24, 1995 issue of The Dartmouth as having termed students of color "colored students," ("Women discuss diversity in sororities"). This was a foolish mistake because a) I didn't say that; I only described non-majority students as "students of color" and b) because "colored students" only applies to black students; the two terms have totally different meanings. Additionally, I was misquoted in referring to most students of color who are members of the Greek system as "mainstream", when I actually said that many of the values and experiences of students of color in sororities are more common to "mainstream" America but does not necessary put them outside of their respective communities. I was insulted by what was written in the article and even more upset that these gross misquotations were attributed to me.

Some possible answers to the frisbee question

By Robert H. Nutt | October 26, 1995

To the Editor: On Oct. 13, 1995, The Dartmouth asked the question "Is Dartmouth home of the frisbee?" Here's a partial answer. While many universities, big and small, as well as some individuals and companies--most notably a pie company--claim the invention of the frisbee, only Dartmouth can point with pride to Levi Frisbie of the class of 1771.

Recent Suicides Lead to Questions About Dartmouth

By John Strayer | October 25, 1995

The College has recently witnessed the suicide of three members of the Dartmouth Community. While it is probably useless to view these successive events as a trend, there is value at looking at one of the commonalties that runs through all three deaths: Each occurred when the student was away from campus. It is important to recognize the limitations of generalization regarding this subject.

Luxon's reaction to 'Hell Night' video showing was 'incredible'

By Minyoung Sohn | October 24, 1995

To the Editor: Wednesday night (Oct. 18, 1995), I went to the widely attended program in the Topliff lounge, where Professor Luxon presented an interrupted "Hell Night" documentation and left before leading a discussion about the material and the Greek system at Dartmouth as he had been advertised to do.

Disruption of 'Hell Night' Video Was an Attack on Dartmouth

By Sean Donahue | October 24, 1995

To the Editor: The organized, intentional disruption of Professor Tom Luxon's presentation of the Alpha Chi Alpha Fraternity "Hell Night" tape and the Alpha Delta Fraternity "Sex Room" tape was a violation of the most basic standards of decency and civility and an attack on Dartmouth's community of scholars. Professor Luxon was invited to present his analysis of two documents and then lead a discussion about the issues they raised.
