Re-humanizing the Palestinians

By The Dartmouth | November 21, 2001

By Mohamad Bydon '01 In the Oct. 28 issue of The New York TimesMagazine, award-winning journalist Joseph Lelyveld wrote an article entitled "All Suicide Bombers Are Not Alike." Lelyveld, in an attempt to understand suicide-bombing, stopped in Gaza and spoke to the Palestinian parents of a "martyr." He describes the father of the deceased Ismael as "solemnly prideful" and his mother as "resolutely cheerful ... [She] betrayed not a hint of sadness as she spoke of her departed son." This description struck me as rather bizarre, especially since I've been through Palestinian refugee camps myself and have met the parents of suicide bombers in south Lebanon.

Criminal Treatment

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | November 20, 2001

Although we respect the ongoing efforts of the Hanover Police Department to find the per- petrator of two recent on-campus assaults, the parading of a student through Food Court last Thursday evening was unacceptable. This spectacle, in probably the most densely populated area on campus at that moment, made the student look like a criminal in front of his peers. After a witness to the original crime identified a student who was potentially the perpetrator, police officers came to Food Court to question the possible suspect.

Kat Hanks: A Leader and Complete Player

By Mark Sweeney | November 20, 2001

What is the best way to start building a championship-winning basketball team? While having a competent point guard to serve as a floor general or a lights-out shooter to provide instant offense are keys to fashioning a good squad, the real key is having a strong presence in the middle. Big Green junior center Katharine Hanks provides such a dominating inside game.

Is fear affecting our college experience?

By Alison Schmauch | November 19, 2001

Others noted the difficulty of avoiding both hysterical reactions to current events and insensitive "under-reactions." Advisors to various student groups have noted increased concern about safety on campus. Amin Plaisted, advisor to Muslim students on campus, noted a rise in worries about safety immediately after the Sept.

Once upon a time, I used to get sleep. I used to go to bed before 4 a.m. every day. I used to stay awake and learn something in my morning classes.
