Imagine The BlitzMail Possibilities
When Ellen Waite-Franzen took over as the College's vice president of information technology in 2007, the glory of BlitzMail was already fading fast.

I didn't have a typical American high school experience -- well, it wasn't even an American high school.
Think back to all the time you spent learning SAT vocabulary during your junior and senior years of high school.
The most pressing issue facing Dartmouth today is the identification and recruitment of its next president.
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.
Dartmouth's BlitzMail provides an outlet for students to spread their beliefs to the rest of campus with the simple click of a button.
To the Editor: In a recent column, Jordan Osserman '11 outlined his rubric for choosing Dartmouth's next president.
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.
Priya Venkatesan '90's recent threat to sue the College, Dartmouth Medical School and the students in her Writing 5 class is, simply put, outrageous.
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.
The April 28 edition of The Dartmouth was awash in a larger-than-usual amount of campus controversy.
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.
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.
What do Harvard, Princeton and Brown have that we don't? Forget about tougher admissions -- apparently we beat Brown by 0.1 percent.
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.
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.
There is really very little that students should have to do in this election. The trend of collecting signatures from prominent students in support of the pro-board packing and the anti-board packing schemes, which was started rather ignobly by agents in Dartmouth Undying, is frankly silly.
To the Editor: Although I can appreciate Lydia Chammas '09's well-written social critique of Aliza Shvarts' "abortion art" ("For Art's Sake," Apr.
To the Editor: Regarding Brian Solomon's editorial ("A Corrupting Legacy," Apr. 24) I would like to voice my concern at the author's blanket view of legacies.
To the Editor: I would like to express my concern for Dartmouth students who were pained by the recent student party "Hip Hop in the Hood" on April 11 held in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, "Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body." Please accept our apologies for the distress and misunderstandings this event has caused.
