A Berry Important Issue

|

I can think of no other issue plaguing Dartmouth that so urgently begs forum discussion and student action than the egregious misallocation of iMacs on first floor Berry. As Dartmouth students, I think most of us are very cognizant of the fact that we represent a great amount of diversity (be it economic, racial, geographic or in the case of certain mythological-mobile-theatre-players psychological diversity). So of course, this diversity implies that there is a broad range of personal resources to which different students have access and it is imperative that students with greater resources begin to understand that they must take advantage of their means and leave Dartmouth's resources to the less privileged and more deserving. What does this have to do with frst floor Berry iMacs?

Analogy: Student Activism is to Dartmouth as Global Warming is to the Environment. In other words, it doesn't exist. OK, so that last part was a joke; I'm not Glenn Beck.
