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.

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.

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.

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.

Baxter: Guard the Bard

|

Producing an entirely student-run work of Shakespeare takes the Dartmouth Rude Mechanicals two weeks of editing the First Folio, 78 hours in rehearsal and performance over the course of five weeks, four 10 p.m.



Opinion

Kim: Not My Cup of Tea

|

Dartmouth students are committed to community service. More than 60 percent of students participate in volunteer programs through campus organizations, service grants and Alternative Spring Break programs.


Opinion

Gardener: Time to Stand

|

As some may have seen, Students Stand with Staff is circulating a petition calling for the College to restore health care benefits that were cut in January and stop all further subcontracting.


Opinion

Poddar: Student Solidarity

|

Last week, a group seeking to raise awareness about the prevalence of suicide and severe depression spread backpacks outside of Novack in a symbolic reference to the 1,100 college students who committed suicide last year.


Opinion

Rasheed: Overhaul the Recall

|

In the weeks since Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his Republican allies passed a controversial "budget repair bill" that eliminated the rights of public sector workers to collectively bargain, activists on both sides of the aisle have been feverishly trying to collect enough signatures to trigger recall elections against the officials involved.


Opinion

Pedde: Saying No to Grandma

|

Our long-term federal budget is completely unsustainable. The problem is so large and the possible solutions so contentious that this matter will likely constitute the single biggest issue in future federal elections.




Opinion

Rethinking the Drone

|

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.
