Over 25 years ago, on April 8, 1974, lefthander Al Downing threw a 1-0 fastball that he hoped would catch the outside of the plate. Instead, the fastball caught air and eventually ended up in the stiff glove of Atlanta reliever Tom House who then had in his mitt the baseball that was the symbolic end of a dream for Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron.

African-Americans have a higher incidence of hypertension (high blood pressure) than do Africans living in Africa. How ought we to solve this serious U.S. health problem?
In his editorial of May 23, 2000, Professor Thomas Luxon quotes virulent rhetoric published by the Family Research Council, whose employee, Yvette Schneider, was recently brought by Voces Clamantium to speak on our campus. In its literature, the FRC -- and, by implication, Ms. Schneider -- claims that "the activist homosexual agenda and worldview are fundamentally incompatible with Christianity" and cites the Bible as proof. But what does the Bible really says about homosexuality? Let a Bible professor respond.
Last Sunday, as I walked past the Washington monument, I saw signs that read: "Gun control is racist, sexist, and classist," "fascist go home," "Rapists hate gun owners," and (my favorite) "A good grip: my idea of gun control." As you may have guessed, I was not at the Million Mom March, which was full of mothers fearful of recent school shootings, but at a nearby counter-demonstration, put on by a newly formed anti-gun control group calling themselves the Second Amendment Sisters.
I am very disturbed. I just watched what could have been a great night of discussion about views, opinions, and hurt be destroyed by closed-mindedness and unrestrained emotion.

She is arguably the single busiest student on this campus. Do you have a question about the latest in current affairs? Curious about the person speaking at The Rockefeller Center tonight? Need an idea about how to get involved with community service on campus?
A panel of Dartmouth undergraduates, just back from a term of teaching in Marshallese public schools, offered personal accounts of their trip last night, along with Marshall Islands Ambassador to the U.S. Banny de Brum, and First Secretary at the Embassy, Kristina Stege.

Three Big Green women's lacrosse players found their names on the All-America team yesterday as midfielder Jacque Weitzel '00 and attacker Kate Graw '00 were listed on the Brine/IWLCA Division 1 All-America first team, while goalkeeper Sarah Hughes '02 was a third team selection.
The objective at many American universities of ensuring that minority students are comfortable has the potential to intersect the universities' mission to create and disseminate knowledge and to defend academic freedom. No one disputes that comfortable in terms of student amenities like housing and food service is a worthy objective, but the concept of comfort with respect to the intellectual mission of a university may create risk to the mission. It is overbroad. Put another way, to what degree would significant intellectual or emotional discomfort created by provocative speech mean that the university has failed to achieve its objective that all minority students are comfortable? Should they have some formal remedy against those who create the discomfort?

College admissions affirmative action policies are woefully clumsy, laughable not laudable, unfairly preferential, meritoriously demeaning and easily perverted. I am a beneficiary and a proponent of such policies.

It would be an over-simplification of an increasingly complicated situation to believe that all the recent controversy surrounding Yvette Schneider and her personal testimony is actually about "freedom of speech" or "sparking intellectual discourse." It is clear that the most fervent supporters and critics from both sides are not concerned nearly as much with First Amendment rights or the right to disagree, as they are with the fact that the opposing side's rhetoric is somehow offensive to them. Indeed, it is increasingly difficult to read the back-and-forth editorials between members of Voces Clamantium and supporters of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community without realizing that what originally started as a disagreement over a speaker has become a fight over differing personal morals and the implications of upholding these morals.
