I am glad that fellow Opinion columnist Tom Mandel '11 was able to "find a home" in a Dartmouth fraternity ("Frat Welcome Mat," Oct. 23), particularly because it is the house in which I live. But I also believe that Mandel's attempt at shaping his take on the Greek phenomenon, though more eloquent and thoughtful than most accounts found on these pages, appears to be another Dartmouth-inspired over-intellectualization of the simple stuff in life.

If you have acquired an aversion to the term "alternative social spaces" over the past few (dozen) weeks, keep reading. If you believe in the push for "alternative social spaces" because Dartmouth social lives are too Greek-centered, I implore you, too, to read the following 662 words.

Dartmouth faces an exciting time in its long history, and I hope you will elect me to help guide the student body through the challenges and opportunities before us.

The College's decision to permit Alpha Kappa Alpha -- a historically African American sorority -- to return to campus is a wise one, but not for the reasons that were predictably emphasized in Tuesday's article about the reaction to our latest Greek addition ("Students Weigh Social Impact of AKA's Return," Feb. 5).

The Buddha was no politician, but he could offer some stability to the flux of this presidential primary season. Specifically, four of his words come to mind: walk the middle path. No, not the path between materialism and nihilism, but rather that which lies between the politically catastrophic extremes of sectarianism and agnosticism.

As I write from Asuncion, Paraguay, I should be calculating the probability that there is a "Hooters" restaurant showing the NFL playoffs within a mile of my apartment.

This weekend I had the unfortunate experience of being kicked out of the library on a Saturday night. Naturally, the frigid walk home -- during which I was still hyped-up on "Rockstar" and the liberal arts -- was quite uncomfortable. The discomfort was only compounded by the two-daylong blitz bombardment by campus groups and offices, all of which snowballed into a colossal "don't" list in my mind:

Since my first-year seminar during my freshman fall, I have often been shocked by the speech and oratory skills of Dartmouth students as a whole. From sufferers of "like" syndrome to arrogant abusers of overly complex vocabulary and syntax, too many of us fail to express ourselves concisely or precisely through speech.

President Wright gets extraordinary (for lack of a better word) facetime. It seems as though almost every other week, I hear about our president receiving public recognition for his admirable, ongoing work with U.S. military veterans. He even managed to beat out Tom Brady for "New Englander of the Year"! But as I think about James Wright's non-Dartmouth-related actions, I can't help but question what his role is, and should be, as Dartmouth's president. Ultimately, President Wright seems to understand his role to be that of a figurehead and fundraiser, and while this may have its flaws, the College certainly benefits from it.

From regular "chat sessions" about our social lives, to heady discussions on our universe's constant state of flux, to pseudo-debates on political issues, my friends and I have conversations that cover it all. I recently observed, however, that when we talk about Dartmouth (read: the ways in which we directly interact with the institutions of the College), our conversations frequently progress down a familiar path and come to a familiar conclusion. We always tend to end with a comment along these lines: It just doesn't make sense to create the type of complex administrative bureaucracy that Dartmouth utilizes, especially when so many of the administrators seem clueless about the process of enacting effective policies.

It pains me to respond to -- and thus validate -- Aurora Wells '10's article on eating out ("Aurora's guide to eating out," Oct. 5), but it would be irresponsible of me to ignore its significance. The article demonstrates an acceptance of the egregious gendered double standards that thrive on this campus. However, using institutions -- such as The Dartmouth and other campus resources -- for the purpose of creating a collective voice of the oppressed on campus is a misguided approach for relieving discomfort with the "male-dominated" aspects of campus.

In Friday's article concerning the alleged incidence of misogyny that occurred at Theta Delta Chi fraternity on Wednesday evening ("Kappas accuse Thata Delt of harassment," Aug. 3), Denise Hasson, Vice President of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, was quoted as saying, "[Members of the fraternity] lost all respect for women because they think it's okay, and the Greek system allows that and is conducive to it."
