The Shape of Summer

By Denise Hotta-Moung | July 6, 2009

My perfect picture of sophomore summer has slowly begun to slip away. I once dreamt of sunny days, little to no workload and a smaller student body on campus.

A Forgotten Legacy

By Brian Solomon | July 6, 2009

Since our new president's introduction in March, Jim Yong Kim has repeatedly referred to former College President John Sloan Dickey as a great model even likening himself to the former President during his first address to the College.

Getting to Know You

By Tom Mandel | June 30, 2009

My basic plea for you, (newly inaugurated) President Kim, is to devote your first months in office to getting to know Dartmouth. The College will do well following the trajectory that President Wright set it on, at least for the foreseeable future, so you can keep his policies for now. Dartmouth, as an institution, is strong because of the people that love it so much.

Short Answer

By The Dartmouth Opinion Staff | June 30, 2009

The presidential transition provides a rare opportunity to reexamine the College. What swift steps can College President Kim take to enhance Dartmouth's greatest strengths and address its most glaring weaknesses? When President Kim begins his term he will be bombarded with requests from a number of departments hoping to make their concerns Kim's first priority.

Report or Re-Tweet?

By Chris Talamo | June 29, 2009

We really need to have a talk about this Twitter thing. I don't have a problem with the concept, but something has gone terribly wrong if CNN has started to think that Twitter is a substitute for hard reporting.

By Spenser Mestel | June 29, 2009

A recently posted YouTube video shows church members in southern Connecticut performing an exorcism on a 16-year-old boy in order to remove the "homosexual demons" from his body.

Dear Dartmouth, I know we've had our rough times together, but I'm back for the summer. I want to make things right.

Short Answer: OAC Reform

By The Opinion Staff | May 31, 2009

Friday's Verbum Ultimum discussed the proposed changes to the procedures and structure of the Organizational Adjudication Committee. Do you believe these changes are appropriate, and if so, why?

VERBUM ULTIMUM: Adjusting Adjudication

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 28, 2009

The reforms proposed by the Organizational Adjudication Committee Review Commission represent a positive step toward more consistent and just treatment of student organizations ("SA endorses OAC reform proposal," May 27). Whereas, under the current system, all but the most serious cases are often heard by a single dean, the commission's proposal calls for students to take the lead in making decisions in all cases thus allowing for true peer adjudication, fairness and, ideally, transparency. Under the proposed system, organizations accused of violations appear before a board composed of five students selected from a larger pool of 45 student adjudicators.

Rumi Knows Best

By Sam Buntz '11 | May 27, 2009

One of my favorite poets is Jalaludin Rumi, a medieval Islamic scholar, Sufi mystic, jurist and, by most accounts, good dancer, who lived in 13th century Turkey.

VOX CLAMANTIS: Misplaced Blame

To the Editor: According to members of Student Assembly, Dartmouth Dining Services' policies prevent Greek houses from advertising their events on Food Court televisions, not as I incorrectly assumed my column yesterday the Assembly ("Don't Hate the Greeks," May 27). Assuming it was Student Assembly's decision was rash and unfair. The issue of anti-Greek discrimination still merits examination.

Rebuild, Don't Rebrand

By Jasper Hicks '12 | May 27, 2009

I am perplexed. How can it be that someone is a "better" Republican than someone else? I never knew one's commitment to his or her political party could be measured, let alone ranked.

Don't Hate the Greeks

By Zachary Gottlieb '10 | May 26, 2009

Student Assembly recently made one of the best decisions of its history: it decided to make use of the Food Court TVs by offering student groups a chance to advertise their events in high definition.
