At Wright's faculty address, less news is good news

By Matthew Kelly | October 28, 2003

President of the College James Wright addressed the faculty at yesterday's general faculty meeting, where he outlined the College's goals and priorities, while provoking little opposition from the faculty. Whereas last year's meeting was marked by virulent protest across departmental boundaries regarding budget cuts, President Wright's address yesterday was greeted with strong applause, to the obvious delight of a smiling Wright. Wright's news was considerably rosier than last year's.

Where are all the Conservatives?

By Adil Ahmad | October 28, 2003

Original quote: "He [Adil] is a raging racist who just rants and knows nothing of substance." Now adjusted for liberal talk: "He is a conservative who voices his strongly right-leaning, realist opinions in public without fear of retribution."

Alternative Medicine

By Ben Krauss | October 27, 2003

Who does Howard Dean think he is? No disrespect to our idyllic neighbor across the river, but his state is small, uneventful and not terribly representative of American demographics.

Editor's Note

By Colin Barry | October 24, 2003

At its heart, Homecoming is about pride -- the pride that swells in new class as they sweep through town and flood the Green to encircle the bonfire, the pride that fills Memorial Field and defines every cheer, the pride that keeps an army of allegiant alumni coming back each Dartmouth Night. This weekend puts freshmen at center stage.

By Ben Taylor | October 24, 2003

I was speaking with a '93 the other day, and he asked me if I was excited for Homecoming weekend. I didn't really know what to say.

The first makeshift bonfire occurred in 1888 when students decided to celebrate a 3-2 Dartmouth baseball victory over Manchester College.
