Vox Clamantis: Promoting Interaction

By James Dorsey | November 7, 2013

To the Editor: In a recent column, Jon Miller criticizes my department’s FSP in China, suggesting it traps students in a “Dartmouth bubble” when they should be interacting with Chinese. Mr. Miller is misinformed.

Vox Clamantis: A Grossly Inaccurate Portrayal

By Dennis Ng | November 6, 2013

Having studied on the China foreign study program, subsequently serving twice as director’s assistant and authoring the student handbook for the FSP and LSA+, I am disappointed by Jon Miller’s grossly inaccurate portrayals of the programs.

Shanahan: Pump The Brakes

By Andrew Shanahan | November 6, 2013

This week, I have a story for you. I hope this little parable illustrates a rarely talked about, yet supremely injurious aspect of our collegiate life — bicycle theft. I believe the way in which students treat each other’s two-wheeled transit machines speaks volumes about systemic issues of injustice in our community.

Brooks: A Bystander On The Inside

By David Brooks | November 6, 2013

“Why do you think you’re here?” Two students filming a documentary on student veterans asked me this in a recent interview. All student veterans have asked each other the same question when contemplating our place at Dartmouth.

Miller: Abroad And At Play

By Jon Miller | November 4, 2013

Before the start of fall term, I traveled to Asia for the first time to visit my friend and former roommate in China. The trip was very eye-opening and provided me with the opportunity to see a variety of people, places and cultural elements that I had never experienced. I spent time with students on the Beijing language study abroad program and interacted with them without actually being part of the group, as a sort of third party observer.

Yang: A Well-Placed Appeal

By Lorelei Yang | November 4, 2013

In a surprising op-ed for The Wall Street Journal this Sunday, usually apolitical Apple CEO Time Cook urged Congress to approve the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, which up to now has received tepid public support. The proposed bill, currently under review by Congress, would protect workers from discrimination and termination as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Beechert: Got A Light?

By Michael Beechert | November 3, 2013

The New York City Council, with the full backing of soon to be former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, enacted a bill that would raise the legal age for purchasing cigarettes to 21 within city limits. Considering the anti-smoking measures that the city has already adopted during Bloomberg’s reign, this newest effort comes as little surprise.

Shaw: Racism At Dartmouth

By Yesuto Shaw | November 3, 2013

Cries of Dartmouth being a racist institution have rung out loudly in my time as a student here. Open acts of racism have certainly occurred and cannot be ignored, but there are some who respond to these incidents by accusing the whole campus of being complacent in the mistreatment of students of color. This has left many well-intentioned white students confused about their role in the oppression that certain students feel, as well as confused about what they can actually do to help.
