Shameful Contempt

By Jedidiah Sorokin-Altmann | April 14, 2003

To the Editor: I was angered to read Paul Marino's April 11 diatribe "Berry Library," particularly by the bit where he treats Mr. Berry with the utmost contempt. John Berry gave $25 million to the College to build a better library, and we should be grateful.

Stam documents nation on edge

By Elise Dunphe | April 11, 2003

In the photograph, the teenage boy's arms are crossed, his lips taut, his eyebrows arched just enough to let us know that he is old enough to know what happened in his home, Rwanda -- and that he will not forget. Professor Allen Stam, the photographer, accompanied a colleague from the University of Maryland on a research trip to Rwanda last summer.

Regarding the Veterans of Wars in the Gulf

By Andrew Toler | April 11, 2003

I have been thinking heavily for many years about the effects of war on soldiers and what we must do to help. I knew a guy at Dartmouth who was a Gulf War veteran, an African American, a Native American, a very large, imposing young Republican.

Chuckle with Conan

By Kabir Sehgal | April 11, 2003

Do you like to laugh? I like to laugh. I think everyone likes to laugh. The problem is that the last few weeks I have not laughed much, and I suspect the whole world has not laughed much.

Sailors persist in tough weather

By James Lamb | April 11, 2003

It has been said that Mother Nature can be especially tricky in New England. Who can disagree after we were briefly teased with sunshine and a dry, somewhat grassy Green, only to have a foot of snow dumped on us in recent days?

Lobban: Sudan torn by political instability

By Robert Kimmitt | April 11, 2003

Sudan is beset by an array of intractable problems that are keeping the nation in a state of stagnation and war, according to Richard Lobban, professor and director of African studies at the University of Rhode Island. In a speech entitled "The Sudanese Gridlock," Lobban said the country is experiencing political, military, economic, internal and foreign deadlock. He said that the country has experienced an "oscillation between plural democratic governments and military governments," and said that democratic governments are "always weak" in Sudan. Since Sudan gained independence from Great Britain in 1956, it has had 5 changes in regime, with 36 years of military rule and 11 years of democratic rule.

2003 World Series prediction: Oakland over St. Louis

By Mark Sweeney | April 11, 2003

It's spring, so that can only mean one thing -- the start of the Major League Baseball season. Here is a rundown of the top contenders to make the 2003 World Series. Anaheim Angels I'll start with the defending champs (yes, you weren't dreaming last fall, the Angels actually did win the World Series). Anaheim may have been the least active team in all of baseball this off-season, as it was content to retain the entirety of its lineup from last year's squad. Why mess with a good thing, right?

The tri-meet with Harvard and Brown last weekend was cancelled, but some of Dartmouth's track and field athletes went to Princeton instead to compete in the Sam Howell Invitational. Six athletes from the men's and women's teams took first in their events, with athletes from Princeton, Rutgers and The College of New Jersey making an appearance. For the men's team, the strongest showing was in the field events.

Hasty construction, gray walls, wasted electronics and crappy sculptures. Such is the hallmark of the Berry Library.

All Things Change ...

By Rev. Joseph D. Herring | April 10, 2003

To the Editor: The April 7 column "Wright Priorities" by Joe Asch '79 deals with our fundamental identity question, but in black and white simplistic terms. What is the " old Dartmouth ?" Mine was all male.

Acceptance for All

By Regina Griggs | April 10, 2003

To the Editor: With respect to the April 3 column "Tacit Intolerance" by Steve Swayne, dealing with tolerance of homosexuals, I would add that tolerance should also extend to ex-gays.

In case you missed all the posters and the T-shirts and the auto-replies, April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month; an entire month devoted to raising awareness about sexual abuse in all its scope and ugliness.
