Verbum Ultimum: Money Talks

Given the volume of dialogue that has raged in the pages of this and other publications for months over the Board of Trustees' expansion plan, it is increasingly hard to believe that any lack of communication precipitated the current state of affairs.

By Joseph Asch | May 8, 2008

Board of Trustees Chair Ed Haldeman '70 and presidential search committee head Al Mulley '70 have invited the entire faculty to meet with them this Friday to discuss the search for Dartmouth's next president.

An Army Of Half

By Brian Solomon | May 8, 2008

Picture yourself as a United States private and medic in an Afghan village, dodging bullets from Taliban fighters as you heroically shield and treat your fellow soldiers beside a burning Humvee.

Discrimination Debauchery

By Suzanne Lehrer | May 5, 2008

When it comes to classroom debauchery, I thought I'd heard it all. There's always the one about the student who did or didn't plagiarize and got Parkhursted, the one about the student who slept with the prof, the student who got arrested for drunkenly participating in a class he wasn't enrolled in with his shirt off, the student who said something memorably and inappropriately crude, or that kid in the back who was so high -- the list goes on.

Pastor Problems

By Michael Belinsky | May 2, 2008

The Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. came back to the political spotlight this week -- with a vengeance. Wright, Senator Barack Obama's former and longtime pastor, delivered a barrage of what The Daily Show's Jon Stewart called "mild, medium and spicy" remarks.

Oh, Called Out!

By Spenser Mestel | May 1, 2008

I'm a freshman. I hide a campus map at the bottom of my backpack just in case I get lost, I consider myself lucky when I get sixths on a pong table, and I have overwhelming urges to walk with my 20 closest freshmen friends everywhere I go.

Monopolies And Mythmaking

By Daniel Belkin | April 30, 2008

In the past week, undergrads have enlisted themselves as foot soldiers in the Battle for Dartmouth. No longer relegated to just the ballot box, mass mailings, the media spotlight and the blogosphere, the ongoing governance skirmish between alumni has landed right in the laps of current undergraduates. BlitzMail inboxes have been flooded with petitions drafted by students both in favor and in opposition to the Association of Alumni's lawsuit against the College.

A DA$H Of Discretion

By Zachary Gottlieb | April 30, 2008

It's time we address the ever-important campus issue of consent. I want to introduce this sober discussion within a new context, however -- DASH grilled cheese.

Minority Rule

By Jordan Osserman | April 30, 2008

What do Harvard, Princeton and Brown have that we don't? Forget about tougher admissions -- apparently we beat Brown by 0.1 percent.

Letter to the Editor: Split Decision

By Frank Gado | April 28, 2008

To the Editor: The contention that the current mode of nomination and election "splits" the vote in trustee races has never been proved ("Elections could seal fate of AoA suit," April 28). In an approval voting system, the voters can vote for as many candidates as they wish -- hence there is no "splitting." Mr. Smith was named on a majority of the ballots; no other candidate in his race was.

An Appropriate Anthem

By Nathan Bruschi | April 28, 2008

The Hood's "Black Womanhood" exhibit is largely my fault. Well, not mine personally. More so than it does for black women, the exhibit tells the story of white men.
