You don't owe me anything. Let me clarify that statement. I'm a former U.S. Marine. I served four years in the Corps before coming to Dartmouth this past fall.

Janet Reitman's recent article in Rolling Stone detailing fraternity culture and hazing at Dartmouth has elicited strong reactions not only from the campus community but also from alumni, parents, prospective students and readers across the country.
To the Editor: For over two centuries we've been called "DMS" It's simple and special and famous, no less. And what's more it's me, and it's you, and it's us So I refuse to be silent and not make a fuss. For a large sum of money, it was forced to depart From the core of our core and the heart of our heart. Will big buckets of green really bring us more clout? They'd say we sold up, but I'd say we sold out. Now I'm discombobulated, yes I am, yes indeed Disgruntled and doleful and fully displeased For alas, this new name is just like a thneed It's fancy and flashy, but it's not what we need. William-Bernard Reid-Varley DMS '15
Kemi Kalikawe, a well-known fashion designer in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is a star on the rise. Her bold cuts, playful designs and exquisite fabric led to undeniable success for this new fashion star. I had the opportunity to meet Kalikawe at one of her fashion shows a little over a month ago when I was working in Tanzania on my off-term.
Having arrived at Dartmouth as a 21-year-old freshman after waiting two years before coming to college, I can say that I have a somewhat unique perspective on college life.
In the spring of my junior year of high school at an age long after that by which my great-grandparents held their first real jobs I began, like clockwork, making the rounds to various towns in the Northeast with my mom.
Over the past several weeks, there has been an unavoidable buzz persisting throughout news and social media outlets concerning the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was killed in February by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.
The day that President Obama announced the nomination of College President Jim Yong Kim for the presidency of the World Bank, my Korean friends and family bombarded my inbox with messages even before I had even woken up.
In recent months, the international media has been overwhelmed by stories of oppression and violence in countries around the world.
We all laughed at our mothers when they told us, "Be careful what you post online it will be out there for anyone to see... forever!" Oh, Mom.
A Complicated Culture To the Editor: I have never been compelled enough to submit an op-ed piece to The Dartmouth in the nearly 17 years since I first set foot on campus.
To the Editor: The Undergraduate Judicial Affairs Office has charged members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the fraternity itself in connection with hazing violations during the fall 2011 pledge term.
I applaud Janet Reitman's recent Rolling Stone article on Dartmouth hazing for at least attempting to present a more nuanced picture of Dartmouth's "whistleblower" compared to other national publications.
It has been only three years since Dr. Jim Yong Kim was selected as Dartmouth's 17th president, a three-year tenure that has seen a dramatic decline in popular opinion.

Like most other seniors, I've spent the past year writing cover letters in a desperate attempt to find a job for next year.
A group of voices is noticeably absent from the discussions about hazing that have dominated Dartmouth's atmosphere in recent months.
Yoon Ji Kim / The Dartmouth Staff When I heard about President Jim Yong Kim's acceptance of President Barack Obama's nomination to head the World Bank, I wasn't exactly surprised nobody was, at least in Hanover.
President Obama's nomination of College President Jim Yong Kim to head the World Bank is a politically brilliant, innovative and risky move.
To the Editor: President Kim makes a poor choice of the World Bank over Dartmouth, forsaking substance for illusion by leaving a truly influential position for a political post atop an ineffectual bureaucracy.
