Is There No Honor Anymore?

By Peter Chen | July 25, 2006

To the Editor: I want to refute Brian Chao's article, "No Justification for Zidane's Head-Butt." I don't claim to know the specifics of this case or to know what actually happened between the two soccer players, whether Zidane's sister and sick mother were insulted or not.

N. Mass hall on alert for bathroom intruder

By CJ Ryan | July 25, 2006

An unidentified, college-aged male entered North Massachusetts Hall on July 20 and wandered into several rooms, including a women's bathroom. Students in North Massachusetts Hall reported to Safety and Security that the intruder had entered two different bathrooms as well as several individual rooms before leaving North Mass, prompting a BlitzMail message from North Mass Undergraduate Advisor Nora Ward '08 the next day to the entire residence hall. "There was a strange, probably drunk, guy in the basement bathroom while a girl was taking a shower, and let's just say he wasn't respectful of privacy," Ward wrote. Ward said that many of her residents were awake when the incident occurred, "and therefore would not [normally] think to lock their door[s], but Mass Row sees a good deal of traffic at night." Ward speculated that the locks on women's bathrooms on other floors prevented him from entering other bathrooms. College Proctor Harry Kinne reiterated the importance of residents locking their doors and reporting any strange incidents to Safety and Security. "There is a high probability the individual is affiliated with the College, though the situation is still under investigation," Kinne said. Tom Manzo '07, a resident of North Mass, saw the intruder enter the dormitory accompanied by a small group of college-aged people shortly after he had entered the building. "I asked him if I could help him with something," Manzo said.

Alums author contentious College guide

By Carolyn Kylstra | July 25, 2006

During the spring and summer of 2003, Scott Glabe '06 and Janos Marton '04 created a College Prowler guidebook to Dartmouth College, with Glabe as author and Marton as editor of the content. The book was initially published in 2005, but aside from demographic statistics the content has not been updated since Glabe and Marton's first evaluation, leaving questions about the relevancy and timely nature of some content. Glabe, a freshman and College tour guide at the time, provided brief descriptions of everyday life, assembled quotes from other students and ultimately assigned letter grades to every aspect of Dartmouth culture.

Mahmoud's Game of Chess

By David Rothenberg | July 20, 2006

Right now, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is smiling. Death and destruction make him happy -- especially when it advances his maniacal schemes and especially when those doing the dying have coffins draped by the Star of David.

Summertime Woes

By Hiba Siddiqui | July 20, 2006

So summer seems to be synonymous with nakedness -- a nakedness of all sorts. If not bodily nakedness, some form of nakedness nonetheless -- foot nakedness, for one, is very prevalent.

This Might Be Abrasive, But...

By Sara del Nido | July 20, 2006

The issue of gender equity in schools is older than the hills. Well, it's pretty old, at least. It therefore didn't surprise me to read the New York Times' recent series on the "gender gap" in higher education.

Closing its season, Big Apple Circus hits Upper Valley

By Jennifer Garfinkel | July 20, 2006

For Paul Binder '63, creator of the Big Apple Circus, bigger isn't necessarily better. Instead, "bigger is bigger," he said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Binder believes that the appeal of the circus is the audience's contact with the performers, an element of performance that is lost during three-ring circuses that Binder said are "uniquely American." This philosophy is what led him to create his famous one-ring circus in 1977, harkening back to the American circus of the late 19th century before success pushed greedy circus owners to expand their shows. "The performers weren't superheroes," Binder said of the original American circuses.
