I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all." This is the Pledge of Allegiance in its intended form, as written by Francis Bellamy in 1892. Recently Americans across the country have created an uproar about the 9thU.S Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that the phrase "under God" in the current incarnation of the Pledge is unconstitutional. Even the U.S. Senate, in a more spineless move than anticipated, voted 99-0 (Jesse Helms was ill, gee I wonder how he would have voted?) to affirm the words "under God" as part of the Pledge.

Last Thursday, Lindsay Earls '05 lost a four-year battle when the Supreme Court handed down a ruling upholding the right of the Tecumseh, Okla. school district to test students at random for illegal drugs.

The NBA Draft is designed such that the worst teams from the year before will get the best addition to their team in the hopes of reversing their fortunes. For the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers, among others, this has become a foxtrot of foolishness in recent memory.

The 2001-2002 academic year at Dartmouth raised many questions and brought many issues upon which we acted. Now that summer has come, let us turn back our gaze and examine the issues and questions that arose. Socrates once said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
