The Age of Subtle Directness
By Mulei Nthenge | October 10, 1996In "The Age of the Obvious," [The Dartmouth, Oct. 10] Abiola Lapite '98, an esteemed columnist, raises some very valid points, the kind of which may go fairly unnoticed from now on, since the preoccupation of these pages will decidedly lean towards the impending presidential elections. Let me point out from the outset that I neither agree nor disagree with the main thesis of his column, namely, that society has become inexorably mundane in its perceptions of love, specifically, romantic love.

Minority Students Work Hard at Dartmouth
By Mulei Nthenge | August 16, 1996To the Editor: I read the short retort by Matthew T. Welander '97 and J. Brooks Weaver '97 [Connecting Lack of Social Options with poor Academic Performance is Preposterous, August 11, The Dartmouth] and my reaction ran the whole gamut of outright disgust through sympathetic astonishment and right back to disgust. It piqued my curiosity -- no, let's try the honest approach -- it horrified me and saddened me at the same time because that column was written by two supposedly intelligent personalities who sound as though they have the time to discuss the existence (rather, the non-existence) of a Student Assembly at Dartmouth College -- quick examples: "It's That Time of Year Again," April 9, 1996, The Dartmouth; "Welander Portrays Assembly Inaccurately," May 2, 1996, The Dartmouth; etc.) but who could not afford the time to be present at the discussion of the issues they were commenting on. You see, it is true we all came here to study and face the huge academic challenge but to divorce academic performance from the social sphere is sheer folly.

The Review Should Be Read in Proper Context
By Mulei Nthenge | February 12, 1996To the Editor: The latest edition of The Dartmouth Review, one of the College's supreme right publications, states that I "ranted about the mythical systematic oppression of blacks in this country and proposed multiplying the SAT scores of black students by a factor of 1.2 in admissions decisions" in my column, "In Defense of Affirmative Action," which appeared in The Dartmouth on Feb.
