Opinion

Baxter: The American DREAM

|

One of the most interesting women I have ever met has spent 20 years of her life working with undocumented immigrants at the border of the United States and Mexico.


Opinion

Pedde: Myth Busters: Tax Edition

|

America is a low-tax country, with one of the least progressive tax systems in the world. In order to permanently close the federal deficit, all we need to do is raise marginal tax rates on the rich.

Kim: Dartmouth Dries Up

|

At First-Year Family Weekend two weeks ago, my normally teetotaler friend escorted his Danish relative to one of the Dartmouth frats to show her the archetypical American college drinking scene.



Opinion

Hicks: Serving It Bipartisan

|

In his commencement address last week at the University of South Carolina's College of Arts and Sciences, former United States Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman called on young Americans to give back and serve their country.


Opinion

Clark: A Cowboy Brand of Justice

|

Already, two of my fellow columnists, Louis Wheatley '14 and Brendan Woods '13, have confronted the "objectors" ("A Shotgun for Bin Laden," May 3) and "armchair philosophers" ("Laden with Questions," May 5) who would call into question the killing of Osama bin Laden.





Opinion

Rosenbaum: Arrested Predicament

|

The Dartmouth is not The New York Times. Nor is The Harvard Crimson, The Daily Princetonian, the Yale Daily News, The Cornell Daily Sun, The Daily Pennsylvanian, the Columbia Daily Spectator or The Brown Daily Herald.




Opinion

Carino: Shoulda Woulda

|

Given my involvements in organizations like the Inter-Community Council and the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, I would have thought that my first appearance on The Dartmouth's opinion page would consist of some call to legislate social behavior, possibly regarding sexual assault or the Indian mascot.


Opinion

Kornberg: The Final Four

|

Four weeks ago I criticized President Kim for pursuing policies that I considered "counterproductive." It's only fair to now elaborate on what I meant by providing a list of simple policies I think might help to transform his presidency policies that should be relatively uncontroversial, pose few logistical problems, and, if implemented properly, provide the greatest good at the lowest cost. 1) Make ROTC an independent on-campus program.


Opinion

Wheatley: A Shotgun for Bin Laden

|

The Book of Proverbs reads, "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth" (Proverbs 24:1718, King James Version). Upon reflection on Sunday night's events, very few are disappointed with Osama bin Laden's death at the hands of U.S.


Opinion

Short Answer

|

Friday's Verbum Ultimum discussed student participation in sexual assault awareness events. How can we involve more students in conversations about preventing sexual assault, particularly those who are not typically engaged in such dialogues? Older students must set examples for underclassmen.
