Power of the Purse

To the Editor:

In his August 6 editorial "Fascism at Dartmouth?", John Haskell bemoans the fact that Dartmouth students have no redress against the rampant betrayal of our rights by the College. I suggest that he and everyone who feels the same way do what I decided to do: email College President James Wright and tell him that you will send no money to the College until he is gone, the Student Life Initiative is gone, and Dartmouth inaugurates a good-faith adherence to the principles of this country (in lieu of the current atmosphere of politically corrent McCarthyism).

Mr. Haskell is right: we do not have an institutional voice at Dartmouth. But we have money, and that's what they want from us. And we don't have to give it to them. Our dollars are our only leverage; let's use them.
