There was, when I was a freshman, a man known as "House" at Dartmouth. I never actually knew him, just saw him working at Full Fare from time to time. I never actually knew his name either. He was simply House, the largest human being my friends and I had ever seen. In our minds, he was a legend. A giant from the football team. In our overawed (freshman) minds, it seemed he must have been 7 feet tall and weighed 400 pounds. Often seen, but poorly understood, he was universally feared. All this because genetic chance had made him large.

Dartmouth enters tomorrow's contest against Lehigh with one last chance to play a complete game before entering the heart of their Ivy League schedule which begins with Harvard next weekend. Although Lehigh enters the game at 2-4, the 5-0 Big Green will be challenged to extend their nation-best unbeaten streak to 23 games as the Engineers bring one of the most potent offenses in Division I-AA to Memorial Field. However, accompanying that potent offense is a defense that is giving up 465 yards per game which should give Pete Sellers '98 and company a chance to move to ball with efficiency. Furthermore, Lehigh is only 1-3 this year on the road while Dartmouth salivates at the thought of coming home to play four of their final five games in the friendly confines of Hanover.

In his column "EPA: Environmental Justice for the Affluent," in the Tuesday, October 21 issue of The Dartmouth, Adam Siegel '98 argued that environmental injustices were not occurring in Convent, Louisiana. In fact, he argued that "ivory tower" environmentalists from organizations like Greenpeace and the EPA were ignoring citizens' needs in order to satisfy their own political ends. This argument is disturbing for a number of reasons. Primarily, it bothers me that Siegel's article is so disparaging of the EPA for its decision to block Shintech, a Japanese plastics and chemical corporation, from its construction of a new plastics plant in Convent, based on nothing more than a single article that he came across in the Wall Street Journal. Talk about "ivory towers!" What could be more biased against environmental protection and public health than the Wall Street Journal, a corporate journal financially supported and subscribed to by business interests such as Shintech? Fortunately, I am not writing to defend the Clinton Administration and the EPA from the bitter attacks made by exploitative corporations; in fact, I think that both the EPA and the Clinton Administration have done surprisingly little work towards real environmental justice for citizens like those in Convent. Instead, I would like to try to shed some light on what's actually going on in Convent.

Maybe you recognize the line--"Help me help you" --from "Jerry Maguire" Yes, I promise it's relevant to what I have to say here. I am the student Area Manager of Home Plate, and business is booming. (As you might have noticed by the crowds packed into Home Plate right after your afternoon class.) That's great--I'm glad we're so popular--but that's not why I'm writing this article. The problem is that we are rather severely understaffed this term. Every area is struggling to maintain the usual high standards - and for a college dining service they are really quite high. But even the best of intentions can't add extra hours to the day, and we all have classes to attend and homework to do and personal emergencies that are as important to us as your responsibilities are to you. Unfortunately, that means that we are often short workers from a shift which is already missing people because of the worker shortages. Occasionally that means the salad bar runs out of eggs or carrots or - heaven forbid - lettuce. Sometimes it means there isn't any plastic silverware out, or that the bakery goods aren't put in the case.

Many criticize welfare and other social spending programs as ineffective undertakings which provide all the wrong incentives for our nation's poor. Debates rage about the appropriate levels of spending, and the success rates of various programs, yet very rarely does one witness an absurd, wholesale refutation of such policies' social value. Sadly, that is what Abiola Lapite would have us believe. ["Inequality of Wealth is a Force for Good," Oct. 22, The Dartmouth.]

I fail to see the logic in Abiola Lapite's laughably-titled opinion piece "Inequality is a Force for Good" [Oct. 22, The Dartmouth.] Lapite tries to make a case for social inequality, but he does so in a very unconvincing manner.
