By Samantha Lane | February 3, 2003

Wright affirms vision despite budget woes

By Kaitlin Bell | January 31, 2003

Even as Dartmouth has announced increasingly detailed plans to scale back its financial expenditures in a host of areas, College President James Wright has continually affirmed that the College's academic integrity and commitment to fostering a diversity of views and experiences -- core Dartmouth values he has emphasized over the course of his presidency -- will remain unchanged. And looking out at the Green from his office in Parkhurst Hall, with its polished wood conference table and studded green leather chairs, there is a sense that the long gaze of Dartmouth's President goes beyond the small details of the present to a more overarching vision for Dartmouth's future, and that the current budget woes, though serious, are just blips on the radar screen. "I think the economic difficulties that we're facing now are difficulties that are being faced by everyone in higher education," Wright said.

By Charles Gardner | January 30, 2003

Before arriving at Dartmouth from his hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, Justin May '00 could hardly have imagined pursuing a career educating disadvantaged youth.

Bush targets Saddam in address

By Megh Duwadi | January 29, 2003

President George W. Bush pushed forward with heated rhetoric calling for Saddam Hussein's ouster yesterday evening, declaring that the Iraqi dictator can no longer be allowed to "dominate, intimidate, or attack" his own people, the United States or its allies with torture and weapons of mass destruction. In his second State of the Union address broadcast from the Capitol building, Bush cited Hussein's failure to account for weapons of mass destruction -- considered by the White House to be a lethal security risk in the war on terrorism -- as one of several reasons why the United States must effect a regime change in Iraq. The urgent need for such action, Bush said, may make it necessary for the United States to launch its own preemptive war if gaining the world's approval takes too long.
