The anti-war movement is exponentially expanding throughout the country as President Bush and his administration bungles encounter after encounter with the global community. In the past month, anti-war rallies have sprung up all over America. Here in Hanover, a group of student and community protestors spent Friday holding placards on Main St. President Bush's approval rating dropped below 50 percent for the first time in his presidency this week. To no small extent, Americans are reacting to the threat of war with Iraq.

Today, much of the Dartmouth community -- 1,043 members, to be exact -- took a stand. Today, much of the Dartmouth community said that it believes in something beyond the Dartmouth campus, beyond concerns regarding social and extra-curricular life or the operating budget. Today, much of the Dartmouth community displayed its interest in events that are taking place over 5,000 miles away. Today, much of the Dartmouth community declared its commitment to Israel's battle against terrorism, a battle Israel shares with the United States, and to the promise of peace for all peoples in the Middle East.

Hospitals in West Virginia and Pennsylvania rang in a hearty New Year last Wednesday by transferring patients to hospitals as far as 90 miles away. They also significantly cut emergency room services and turned patients away. These hospitals are no longer able to provide quick and quality healthcare, because their doctors -- mostly surgeons -- are walking out on job, saying that they can't afford to practice medicine anymore due to soaring malpractice insurance premiums.

In the past 10 days, under the world's close watch, the U.N. Security Council closed rank by unanimously passing a strong new resolution to disarm Iraq. In a letter delivered two days before the U.N. deadline, Iraq tepidly agreed to allow the inspections. Had Iraq overtly opposed the new rules for inspection, then the United States and the United Nations could claim justification for an invasion to at least disarm, and, more likely, to remove Saddam. Saddam, in his insidious passive aggression, defended his decision to allow inspectors by saying that he wanted to frustrate American war-mongers by forcing them to play the U.N. inspections game.

War with Iraq. North Korea's nukes. Suicide bombers in Israel and Bali. Hostages held in Moscow. Anti-American sentiment in Europe and the Middle East. Lately, foreign policy has been dominating newspaper headlines and dinner table conversations. We are thinking constantly about our role and our responsibility in the international community.

Over the past two weeks, Montgomery County Police Chief Charles A. Moose has been warning residents to take precautions at school, at work, at home and at every place in between. Chief Moose's team has been working around the clock to catch the ruthless sniper who has already killed nine people and wounded three more as they went about the most mundane of daily tasks. The greater Washington, D.C. area is reeling from the sniper's deadly accuracy, from the disparate choice of victims and from the "I Am God" card allegedly left at the scene of one of the murders.

The modern university plays an enormous role in civil society. The existence of an institution devoted to intellectual pursuits is an inspiring testament to the power of humanity. The university is greater than the individual, for the university exists long after students have graduated and professors have retired. However, if individuals do not protect a devotion to intellectual integrity at every moment, our potential to elevate the mind atrophies. The university is a breeding ground of ideas, which eventually become the university's legacy; the ideas that come out of a university by way of its alumni penetrate the crevices of society, present and future.

Katie Bell's May 10 article "Profs. allow students to set their own grades," presents professor Darryl Caterine's pedagogical methods in an inaccurate light.

Violence rages on a small sliver of land in the Middle East. These days are trying, arguably crucial, for Israel's survival. I am petrified that these days are also dire for the future of the democratic free world.

The doorbell rang as my family and I were sitting down to dinner. None of us was expecting a visitor. My father's eyes scanned the faces of the rest of the family. They stopped when they made contact with my eyes.

I would like to respond to Mohamad Bydon's Nov. 21 article in The Dartmouth entitled "Re-humanizing the Palestinians." In his article, he argues that the Palestinian people are simply "demanding freedom, a homeland and a solution to their refugee crisis." I would like to assert that the legitimate Palestinian goals of "freedom, a homeland and a solution to their refugee crisis" cannot be attained if Palestinians do not simultaneously meet the equally necessary goal of recognizing the state of Israel's right to exist.
