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.

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.

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.

An Unrealistic Request

By John B. Daukas '84 | May 25, 2009

The Dartmouth Editorial Board's recent editorial criticizing the Board of Trustees for not accelerating alumni trustee elections ("Verbum Ultimum," May 22) misses several key facts.
