Gambling on college campuses is hardly a new phenomenon, and putting money on card games is probably its most common variant. The Hanover Police has recently expressed an unwelcome interest in pursuing legal action against individuals found to have participated in online poker games. Two issues are at work in this situation, and both merit comment.

Titled "To Laugh . . . or Not to Laugh," the three-day festival will screen five films that, while distinct in tone, all demonstrate how French cinema has recently straddled that thin line between happiness and sorrow in dealing with the emotional aftermath of the Holocaust.

Prime ministers and presidents respond, in principle, to their electorate. As the Spanish saying goes, "son gajes del oficio" -- it comes with the job description. On April 27, 2004, the president of the government of Spain Jos Luis Rodrguez Zapatero responded to an electorate that had been ignored by the previous government by ordering the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq. It was the logical conclusion to months of voter rancor. Yet Peter Chen, in his op-ed on "Cowardly Spain" (The Dartmouth, May 17), wants the public to believe that Zapatero's actions represented a retreat in the face of terrorism. The elections post-March 11 were not a response wrought by cowardice: They represented the population's ire directed against a government that had ignored and misled it, regarding both Iraq and the terrorist attacks in Madrid. On the former point, polls had anywhere from 80 to 90 percent of the population against the war. On the latter, the government had blamed Basque separatists prematurely, hoping to capitalize from the outrage. The voters responded by booting the ruling party.

Some of the points Zachary Goldstein made in his recent article in "In admissions, many get 'special' attention" (The Dartmouth, May 13), on admit rates for students of color are off the mark. Though Goldstein might have the simple statistics to back his implications about the role race plays in the admissions process at Dartmouth, both his understanding of the numbers and his approach to the question of affirmative action at the College is simplistic at best.
