Bush-whacked America

|

To the Editor: I am troubled by Mr. Ahmad's July 15 editorial for more reasons than those expressed in Ms. Mallonee's response (The Dartmouth, 7/20). Her observation of his political naivete is point on.

Five Olde joins Keggy on Playboy website

|

Playboy Magazine recently reinforced the College's reputation for intemperate alcohol consumption, previously established by National Lampoon's "Animal House," by choosing Hanover's very own Five Olde Nugget Alley as its College Bar of the Month. "It's great exposure and I'm honored," the bar's owner Thomas Leonard said. Better known as "Five Olde," the pub began serving patrons in the 1960s, and has since become a favorite among undergraduates, including the online feature's author, Nic Duquette '04, a freelance writer for Playboy and the former editor of the Jack-O-Lantern. "There are Playboy college reps at colleges all across the Country.

Two down: Men's soccer sophs. heading for success

|

Editor's Note: This is the second installment in a series of articles profiling members of the Class of 2006 on varsity sports teams. As most students-athletes enjoy a relatively light off-season season, the '06 men's soccer class has being kicking it into full gear, preparing for a reversal of fate in Fall 2004. Great expectations surrounded the 2003 Dartmouth men's soccer team -- but they were largely left unmet. As the reigning Ivy League champs, with six returning seniors, the Big Green anticipated a successful 2003 season.

Bush Win a Boon for Terror

|

To the Editor: Regarding "Axis of Evil Announces First Summit in Pyongyang" (July 15, The Dartmouth), Mr. Ahmad's suggestion that al Qaida has a vested interest in a John Kerry win in November is ludicrous.

Men's lacrosse: Big scorers hope to become bigger leaders

|

By Dana LaMendola The Dartmouth Staff Lacrosse players in Dartmouth's Class of 2006 sprang onto the intercollegiate athletic scene like a bolt of lightning, reinvigorating the College's squad even as first-year students. During their rookie season in 2003, the '06 laxers played a pivotal role in transforming the Dartmouth squad's previously winless Ivy record, to a 5-1 conference record, winning the Ivy League championship.

As your Tubestock sunburn begins to peel, take a moment to remember all those friends who laughed when you told them you'd be spending your summer in school.

|

Montgomery fellow and renowned presidential historian Robert Dallek, who will lecture Tuesday in Filene Auditorium, shed light on the current administration and the 2004 presidential election in a recent interview with The Dartmouth. Voters' judgments of the continuing violence in Iraq and of the Bush administration's "inaccurate or false assumptions," will determine the outcome, according to Dallek.


Opinion

Tubestock in N.H. Jurisdiction

|

To the Editor: A quick note about your article "Students, police ready for Tubestock weekend" (July 15, The Dartmouth). It is my distinct recollection from a geography class on agricultural land use taught by Professor Robert Huke (who sadly passed away earlier this year) that the border between New Hampshire and Vermont is the low-water mark on the Vermont side.



Opinion

The Role of Pluralism

|

To the Editor: Your article "Controversy erupts over Al-Nur website" (July 15, The Dartmouth) incorrectly states that "Potential sanctions against Al-Nur could be dealt with through the Office of Pluralism and Leadership." In fact, the Office of Pluralism and Leadership has no authority or responsibility for imposing any sanctions on students.

The most serious injury of an otherwise uneventful Tubestock came early Saturday when a male participant jumped off the roof of a house on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River and was knocked unconscious upon hitting the water. A Hanover police officer on one of the marine patrol boats noticed the injured participant and responded immediately, according to Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone.

Freshmen connect with friends on thefacebook

|

Thefacebook.com, the website whose popularity has spread like a conjunctivitis epidemic across campus, has even infected many incoming members of the Class of 2008, who are months away from matriculation. On its homepage, the site offers to "see a visualization of your social network" and "find out who is in your classes," but it has aided those who have yet to sit through their first Dartmouth lecture. As of Tuesday, 183 incoming Dartmouth freshmen have signed up on the site; that number excludes '08s who did not specify their class years.

Dartmouth Too Left-Biased

|

To the Editor: Last week's talk by Yonatan Shapira, an Israeli reserve pilot who has refused to fly missions against terrorist targets, was all too typical of Israel-related events sponsored by the Jewish Studies program. It was typical in that it represented extreme-left views far from the Israeli mainstream.

CampUS Weekly

|

Following in the footsteps of such journalistic luminaries as Ed Wallace, Barbara Walters and Bonnie Bernstein, The Dartmouth's Steven Orbuch catches up with the big sports names on campus and asks the questions that others have too much professionalism or integrity to ask. Today, Orbuch sits down with track star Kelsey Wiegmann '06.


Opinion

Free Speech or Crime

|

To the Editor: I must respectfully disagree with Rev. Crocker's comments on free speech by Dartmouth religious groups (The Dartmouth, July 13). Certainly, religious groups, like any other groups, must have the right to state their beliefs and opinions, and even to proclaim their superiority.
