Zeveloff: A Golden Kopportunity

|

The College announced yesterday that Wendy Kopp is the Class of 2012's Commencement speaker. I believe she is a speaker worthy of Dartmouth. In the past 20 years, Kopp has become the midwife of modern education reform.

Vox Clamantis

To the Editor: On Wednesday evening, I attended the performance of "Undue Influence" presented by the Hopkins Center, the theater department, the Office of the President and the Sexual Abuse Awareness Program and found the show to be a thought-provoking way to raise awareness about the pervasive issue of sexual assault on Dartmouth's campus. In recent months, senior administrators and student leaders have emphasized that sexual assault is an issue that extends beyond the Greek system it is a community-wide concern that requires all members of this campus to work together if we are to successfully address it.

|

For some, part of Dartmouth's charm is largely contingent on the existence of "the Dartmouth bubble." Being in the middle of nowhere, it becomes easy to forget that the world does, indeed, exist beyond our campus.

Blair: Unproductive Accusations

|

Last Friday, Andrea Jaresova published a column criticizing Vita Clamantis' "Cemetery of the Innocents" display ("Unproductive Discourse," April 20). Jaresova's piece is a masterwork of misunderstanding, willful ignorance and fallacious reasoning.

Zehner: Sacre Bleu

|

While most Dartmouth students were likely preoccupied with the continuing roller coaster ride that is the Bruins-Capitals series or our men's soccer team's triumph over Cape Verde, the eyes of economists and political commentators were settled on France. In yesterday's French presidential election, neither President Nicholas Sarkozy nor his socialist challenger Francois Hollande could muster an outright majority of the vote, and the two candidates must proceed to a runoff election on May 6.





Opinion

Vox Clamantis

|

To the Editor: In his recent column ("Through the Looking Glass: Transcending the Hyphen," April 13), Garrett Wymore '13 cites a number of conflicts to support a central thesis that the culture of athletics, and specifically football, is in conflict with the mission of Dartmouth and the liberal arts.



Opinion

Feiger: Taking Back Dartmouth

|

Internalizing the idea of community at Dartmouth is difficult, to say the least. We are exposed to so many communities every day, from Greek organizations to sports teams to residential halls.

|
