Those who placed the anonymous posters around campus labeling a '99 a rapist did a great disservice to both the students involved and to the Dartmouth community as a whole.
At this year's Homecoming football game three freshman were arrested for the "crime" of rushing the field. Dean Goldsmith seems to think that my "infantile taunting" in the Homecoming issue of the Dartmouth had something to do with this (Oct. 18).
There has been much discussion in recent weeks about what to call the class of 2000. Well, in case anyone hasn't heard -- they are zeroes. Despite the fact that this decision was not made by committee, or announced in The D, it is pretty much official. I have yet to hear them called anything else.
Everybody loves to hate the Greek system. Sororities are for bimbos. Frats rape. All sorority members are anorexic and blond. All frat guys are stupid jocks with beer bellies. The Greek system is elitist, racist, homophobic, exclusionary and sexist. The only purpose of fraternities is to provide free alcohol to the campus, and sororities are just a "mindless pack" often heard muttering the all-important question: "Do I look fat in this dress?"
As Jen Parkinson wrote yesterday, "If some one is going to bother reading 750 or more words of my opinions, perhaps they deserve to know who I am." So, allow me to introduce myself.
I have sat down to write this column several times, but I can't decide if I should start with "I'm really glad I'm not a '00" or "I really wish I was a '00."

I took a poll of Dartmouth students on Wednesday in order to discover what was on their mind. "Write about something interesting," they said.
Theparents are coming! The parents are coming!
Whileperusing Monday's issue of The Dartmouth, I was interested and surprised to read the following quote from Director of Health Services Dr. Jack Turco: "18-year-olds should have the right to drink." (The Dartmouth, July 17, 1995).
When I agreed to write a column for today's D, I already had a great topic in mind -- ripping into corporate recruiting.
I must confess I too attended the party last weekend at which a live male erotic dancer stripped before a room full of screaming girls. In fact, I contributed my five bucks to the birthday fund, and was even in charge of starting the music as soon as the birthday girl was in handcuffs.
