To the Editor: I would like to respond to the recent condemnation of Keggy in the Nov. 10 letter "On 'Keggy.'"

The Student Assembly presented a resolution against the administration's "Field-Rush Policy" and listened to speakers on many topics from the Patriot Act to incidents of sexual assault at last night's weekly meeting. The resolution, which passed unanimously, sets up a committee to discuss the College's regulations against students "rushing" the football field during the Homecoming game. "Let it be resolved that the Student Assembly calls upon the administration to rescind its policy prohibiting students from peaceably traversing the field during halftime of the Homecoming football game," the resolution reads. The reason for the resolution came from the Student Athletics Reinvigoration Initiative.
To the editor: Although I reserve my personal opinion on the issue of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, I would like to bring to the attention of the readers the following points: First, the beginning clause of the Act reads: "a partial-birth abortion -- an abortion in which a physician delivers an unborn child's body until only the head remains inside the womb, punctures the back of the child's skull with a sharp instrument, and sucks the child's brains out before completing delivery of the dead infant" Second, Partial-Birth Abortion is, in scientific terms, known as "Intrauterine Cranial Decompression" or more commonly the "Dilation and Extraction (D&X)" procedure.

While a recent Harvard University Institute of Politics poll found widespread student support for President Bush, Dean has also appealed to many college-age voters, including those at Dartmouth.

Iraq is not Vietnam. There is no popular, anti-colonial insurgency in Iraq. Our opponents, who number only in the thousands in a country of 23 million, are despised by the vast majority of Iraqis.
You might sense it at a dining hall table, in a club's membership, or in the group of friends gathered on the other side of the Green. "Ethnic clumping," the tendency to group persons with shared characteristics in fixed categories, was the subject of a keynote address given by psychology professor Jennifer Richeson at yesterday's Pan Asian Council community dinner. The address, entitled "Why should I say 'Hi' to you?" tackled these issues from the perspectives of both the "perceivers" and the "participants." An audience of approximately 150 students came out to listen. Richeson spoke about the inaccuracy of generalizations, saying that there are basic categories such as age, sex and race which are often "activated automatically." According to Richeson, people can't help this behavior, because they usually categorize others at first glance.

Some of her most memorable turns on the screen were in "Buck Benny Rides Again," "Young Mr. Lincoln" and some of the "Charlie Chan" mystery films. She has acted alongside such luminaries as Henry Fonda, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby and Sonja Henie.
