It's not often that I agree with Dan Linsalata '07, but he was correct in stating that the lawsuit filed against the College by members of the Association of Alumni Executive Committee will bring nothing but national embarrassment to the College ("Giving does not demonstrate approval," Oct. 4). The lawsuit is foolish, likely to fail and for the good of the College must be dropped immediately. Beyond that, in order for the entire Dartmouth community to move forward, those executives who sued the College should resign.

Ah, Homecoming. A chance to come together as a school, get drunk and burn things. Seriously, though, Homecoming is probably my favorite big weekend, and for the freshman class, it is a right of passage into Dartmouth woman- and manhood.

When we think about politics or business, we tend to think in terms of allies and enemies. This is only natural; it's a comfortable way to think about the world. There are allies who you can always implicitly trust because they agree with you and there are enemies who you never have to consider because they are always wrong or against you. However, this is an outmoded way of thinking: There are no longer allies and enemies. There are only partners and non-partners.

As I walked down Webster Avenue one recent morning (after a class nearby, just to be clear), I watched people coming and going in and out of their respective Greek houses and realized that Fraternity Row is the only truly student-controlled space on campus.

I had a completely different column written for today. It was a satirical piece poking fun at the platforms of a number of the Student Assembly presidential campaigns, and was probably my favorite piece I've written all year. While I am sad it will not be published, I decided to replace it with what you are reading now because I felt compelled to respond to Jacob Baron '10's most recent op-ed ("Colbert for SA President," May 8).

With the trustee elections underway, there are a number of questions that members of the Dartmouth community must ask themselves about Stephen Smith '88. Questions like, do I want a trustee who has blatantly lied on his website about the school I love? Do I want a trustee who has never been involved with the college since he graduated? Do I want a trustee who has been propped up by an ultra-conservative secret society? Or, how about this one: do I want a trustee who writes angry, anti-evolution articles on fundamentalist websites?

With the Democratic Party winning majorities in both houses of Congress, the 2006 midterm elections presented a clear and unambiguous mandate for a change of course in Iraq. Both of New Hampshire's seats in the House of Representatives swung from Republicans to Democrats for the first time in the state's history. All of this indicates that the people of New Hampshire strongly oppose the course of the war.

I recently traveled to Washington D.C., for the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting. At this meeting, all 10 of the Democratic presidential candidates gave speeches and met attendees. I was able to meet all of the candidates except for Barack Obama and John Edwards. Being part of the New Hampshire delegation had its perks, allowing us access to the candidates that few other college students had. Here are my impressions of them.

Have you ever skipped class before? Most college students have, and often with good reason. Maybe you overslept, maybe you had to study for an exam or maybe there was an all-day marathon of "Man vs. Wild" on the Discovery Channel that you simply could not tear yourself away from. Whatever your reason, you have probably had someone tell you that you are wasting money by not going to class. In fact, I once had someone tell me that "economically" it costs me $140 each time I don't go to class. Don't believe that logic for a minute.

"If I ran my office this way, I'd be out of business!" exclaims a character in the movie "Dave," referring to the federal government. America has become a debtor nation. We constantly hear how more people are in more debt than ever, how students are graduating with record amounts of debt, and so on. The problem goes right to the top. The United States government is the greatest debtor in the world. According to the Treasury Department, the national debt has reached $8.5 trillion. This astronomical debt is bad news for our country, but especially for our generation, who will face the consequences of the flood of red ink.

Dartmouth is a school that prides itself on its commitment to diversity. We have a relatively high percentage of minority students. We have affinity houses, strong academic programs in areas like African-American and Latino studies, and recruiters who seek to bring the brightest minority students to Dartmouth. We even have an entire administrative branch -- the Office of Pluralism and Leadership -- devoted to fostering mutual respect and understanding on campus. All of these attributes reinforce the fact that Dartmouth is a school where minority students can feel welcome and accepted among their peers.

Last week, President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This sweeping legislation gives the president unprecedented power to wage the "war on terror," disregard the Geneva convention and gut the Constitution.

Major league baseball has me depressed lately, and not simply because my beloved Dodgers have been eliminated from the playoffs. For those who don't know, baseball legend Buck O'Neil died recently, but even this is not the main cause of my sadness. He will surely be missed, but he lived an independent, happy and healthy life until he was 94. Most of us can only hope to live such a life.
