Rethinking the Drone

By Lauren Rosenbaum | April 21, 2011

Many of us have played war video games at some point in our lives, using controllers to manipulate characters into blowing up our virtual enemies, perhaps accidentally taking out a few pedestrians in the fusillade.

Buntz: Reading Between the Critics

By Sam Buntz | April 20, 2011

In reading the comments on Peter Blair's recent column on Jane Austen ("Austen's Power," April 19th), I was struck as I continually am by the difference in the way I read books compared to my peers.

Vance: Access For All

By Anise Vance | April 20, 2011

I reacted to Roger Lott's recent article ("Education on Credit," April 18) with mixed emotions. It inspired in me, and many others, a need to publicly articulate the philosophical underpinnings of Dartmouth's policies and affirm the ideals to which we ascribe. As Dartmouth students, we are tasked with carrying traditions of loyalty and support into a world starkly different from that wherein they were born.

VOX CLAMANTIS:

By Eli Lichtenstein '13 | April 17, 2011

To the Editor: In his April 13 column, "Shared Sacrifice," John Lee '11 writes that I, speaking at last week's workers' rights rally, "criticized the Dartmouth community for giving aid to Haiti while ignoring the struggles of staff members in our own backyard." He also states that I disapprove of "charitable giving to one of the poorest and most disaster-stricken countries on earth." This is a gross misrepresentation of my speech.

VERBUM ULTIMUM: Vote Yoeli, Sankar

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 14, 2011

It has been an unconventional Student Assembly election season, to say the least. With only one officially registered presidential candidate on the ballot, a write-in candidate who is off campus and another write-in candidate who has been declared ineligible to run by the Election Planning and Advisory Committee, this election has been complicated and defined by a series of peripheral arguments.

Competing Visions

By Raza Rasheed | April 12, 2011

Years of cutting taxes, expanding benefits and rising health care costs with some unfortunate demographic trends sprinkled in for good measure have finally created a long-term fiscal outlook so daunting that not even our elected representatives can ignore it.
