Aryeh Drager '12 / The Dartmouth Staff Aryeh Drager '12 / The Dartmouth Staff The recent column by Owen Jennings '11 about using Adderall as a "study drug" ("(B)aderrall?" May 6) may be the most disturbing piece I have ever read in The Dartmouth.

A Little Trouble With the Facts

By Ryan McClafferty | May 11, 2010

A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that conservatives with greater exposure to political information are more likely to be wrong.

Art for Everyone's Sake

By A.J. Fox | May 11, 2010

To the Editor: As a recent graduate who is currently employed by the Hopkins Center, I feel obligated to correct Charles Clark's misguided impression of the arts at Dartmouth ("Art for Our Sake," May 10). The Hop always welcomes student feedback, but Clark's accusations bear little resemblance to what actually takes place here every day. While I strongly disagree with Clark's hyperbolic claim that the Hop peddles "a pungent cocktail of social elitism and cultural imperialism," he is certainly entitled to his opinion.

Art for Our Sake

By Charles Clark | May 9, 2010

Among the fringe benefits of living off campus and not taking classes is that one can avoid pondering the display in the Barrows Rotunda at the front of the Hopkins Center, more often than absolutely necessary.

Continental Divide

By Andrew Clay | May 6, 2010

I am always interested in the reception I get as an American abroad. Living in Europe for the Fall and Winter, I learned a thumbs-up for President Barack Obama and thumbs-down for George W.

(B)Adderall?

By Owen Jennings | May 5, 2010

Most students are at Dartmouth to learn. And most of us want this "learning" to be represented at the end of 10 weeks by the letter "A." Whether it's for personal satisfaction, parental appeasement, graduate school acceptance or a springboard into the glorified casino known as Wall Street, grades are important to most of us.

To the Editor: As an early decision admit (who wasn't invited to Dimensions) and a former Admissions Office intern for hosting and Dimensions, I feel uniquely qualified to comment on "The Missing Dimension" (May 3), by Suril Kantaria '13. I have tremendous sympathy for Kantaria's argument that ED students would both benefit from and enhance Dimensions weekend.

Saying What She Said

By Kevin Niparko | May 3, 2010

"Dartmouth," someone more qualified than me once said, "is the land of 4,000 grade-grubbers." We head to office hours and ask trivial questions solely for the purpose of achieving professor facetime.
