The Moose is an inadequate mascot, and the process that led to its emergence as the Student Assembly's choice to replace the Big Green exemplifies democracy misused and gone awry. The inherent difficulty in choosing a new mascot and essentially creating a tradition for thousands of students, alumni and fans does not excuse the Student Assembly's approach to the issue or the end result -- an awkward mascot that received the support of only one-third (35.4 percent) of the 2,300 students who voted.

The article "Colleges Find Diversity Is Not Just Numbers" in the Nov. 12 New York Times completely misses the point. First, the article -- which focuses on Dartmouth -- insinuates that the current administration has undertaken a radical program to snatch Dartmouth from the 1950s. Second, the article makes Dartmouth sound like a racist and backward institution where the diversity rehab programs have yet to disabuse students of their "isms." We contend that the necessary structures for integration, which the article was nominally about, exist on campus already in the form of DOC trips, freshman housing and the Greek system at large. Moreover, we could not expect the Times to capture the essence of campus social interactions in two days.
