Homelessness and the Dartmouth connection

By Brandon Del Pozo | September 23, 1993

I hoped it was too early in the term to have negative things to say about Dartmouth, but I was wrong. One of the more pressing problems with our academic institution is homelessness. Don't struggle to recall where you saw the last bum on Main Street this morning.

Falling into place

By House Editorial Staff | September 22, 1993

"Are you an upperclassman?" the young woman asked the man in Thayer Dining Hall. The wisdom in his spectacled eyes must have given him away. "I am a clueless 'shmen," she admitted.

Emphasize individualism

By Matthew Berry | September 22, 1993

My sophomore year, I was invited to participate in a panel discussion to supply the "white male" perspective on the issue of political correctness.

Co-eds should predominate in Greek system

By Terry Osborne | September 22, 1993

A year ago Andrew Beebe '93 proposed an entirely co-ed Greek system. While I supported the spirit of his proposal, I disagreed with some of the particulars, and spent last year talking about the issue with as many sorority, fraternity and co-ed house members as possible. As a result of those talks I offer the following proposal: Reorient the present Greek system so that co-ed houses are numerically the majority, the "mainstream" social option.

Men of Dartmouth

By House Editorial Staff | September 22, 1993

When members of the Class of 1997 gathered in Leede Arena for their first class meeting Saturday night, the men and women of Dartmouth were greeted by Dean of Students Lee Pelton.

Believe it or not, Hart has heart

By Amiri Barksdale | August 24, 1993

Recently, I have heard much talk about Dartmouth Review mentor/National Review Assistant Editor/Cheatmonger/English Professor Jeffrey Hart speaking to the freshman class during Orientation Week.

All should fund Greeks Against Rape

By Brian Kurlander | August 24, 1993

In a shocking development, there are people upset at the Greek system on campus. This time, it is over the Interfraternity Council's refusal to grant a target amount of money to Greeks Against Rape, an organization dedicated to educating pledges and to eliminating sexual assault. The idea behind Greeks Against Rape is noble, and the group should be supported.

Students must uphold honor code

By Jeffrey Hart | August 24, 1993

To the editor: I write in response to your 32 Robinson column "Fit to speak?" (The Dartmouth, August 20) regarding allegations of cheating in English 68, an enormous course held in Spaulding Auditorium with some 500 students. Several students complained to me about cheating on the midterm.

Opinion

Fit to speak?

By 32 Robinson | August 20, 1993

The College is making a mistake by allowing retired English Professor Jeffrey Hart to give a speech entitled "How to get a Decent College Education, Even Today" to the Class of 1997 during Freshman Week. Last spring, Hart embarrassed the College by openly flouting Dartmouth's academic honor principle when he acknowledged cheating in his English 68 course and refused to do anything about it. While Hart's 30 years teaching experience qualifies him to discuss a liberal arts education in a general sense, his disregard for the honor code is inconsistent with Dartmouth's educational policies. The honor code is a pillar which upholds the basic educational mission of the College.

To read or not to read: Mill's Mall

By Amiri Barksdale | August 17, 1993

I do not like to read books or newspapers. I think they are a form of intellectual cheating. I like to solve my own problems and pull myself up by my own mental bootstraps, but when I read magazines or newspapers, they swipe the pleasure of solving problems from my grasp. For instance, in one particular magazine from 1981 I found the words to express a general distaste I have been feeling.

Opinion

Avoid battle of the sexes

By Brian Kurlander | August 17, 1993

There has been a disturbing trend recently involving Dartmouth men harassing Dartmouth women. In the past couple of weeks, one male decided it would be neat to call many females in the Gold Coast and Hitchcock dormitory clusters at insane hours of the morning and whisper to them.

Opinion

Fraternities should fund Greeks Against Rape

By David Cohen | August 17, 1993

To the Editor: I am writing regarding the Greek system (the IFC in particular) and its refusal to grant Greeks Against Rape the money it requested for funding ("Greeks clash, compromise on rape awareness funding," The Dartmouth, August 13). The IFC cannot have it both ways: it cannot at once insist that Greeks Against Rape is a necessary organization (as it has in the past) and then refuse to fund it (as it is doing now). The Greek system is just digging itself further into a hole by not funding this group that originally was supposed to help address fundamental problems within the system. Furthermore, the burden of funding Greeks Against Rape should fall entirely on the Greek system.

Safety precautions pay off

By 32 Robinson | August 13, 1993

Surrounded by tree-lined mountains and a calm river, Hanover's rural, collegiate atmosphere provokes a very natural feeling of security deep inside all of us.
