Women and men together

By Meg Fuchs | August 14, 2007

To the Editor: In The Dartmouth's Editorial ("In Practice and In Words," Aug. 10) you write: "Now is the time for every Dartmouth student to examine the power they have as individuals to arouse change on a greater level." I whole-heartedly agree with your call to action; however, I wish you hadn't undermined it in the very next paragraph: "It is now the time for the women of Dartmouth to lead the campus in implementing change by discouraging these actions in practice as well as with words.

A house in hiding

By Jenna Pelletier | August 14, 2007

To the Editor: In response to Sean Nicholson("Theta Delts, Not Theta Delt," Aug. 10), I'm both confused and I admit, a bit amused by his article.

Until proven guilty

By Andrew Eastman | August 14, 2007

To the Editor: In her guest column ("Questions for Theta Delt," Aug. 7), Laurel Peak asserts that to report Kappa's accusation of harassment by Theta Delt is deplorable because it shifts the onus of blame to Kappa, as the accuser, rather than to Theta Delt, as the alleged perpetrator.

As the current president of Theta Delta Chi, I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the recent incident between brothers of my house and Kappa Kappa Gamma and the subsequent publicity it has received.

Man Versus Beast

By Brent Kesler | August 7, 2007

To the Editor: After Theta Delta Chi's inexcusable treatment of the women of Kappa Kappa Gamma -- their own guests -- their president had one immediate responsibility: a courageous act of public contrition ("Kappas accuse Theta Delt of harassment," Aug.

Focus on the Real Issue

By Lauren Bennett | August 7, 2007

1891 Agreement: Agendas Aside

By William Montgomery | August 7, 2007

Finding Humor in the Howl

By Joseph Asch | August 3, 2007

To the Editor: Though it is too early to write the history of the petition trustee insurgency, it is not too soon to nominate the top howlers in the debates about trustee elections and the constitution fight. My personal favorite remains Trustee Emeritus Peter Fahey '68's alarmist remark that if last year's constitution were not ratified, our 238-year-old College would enter a "downward death spiral" ("Five Reasons to Vote, and Vote 'Yes,'" Sept.

By Todd Zywicki | August 3, 2007

In recent communications to alumni, however, Chairman of the Board Ed Haldeman questioned the validity of this longstanding agreement.

Everybody's Loss

By Zak Moore | August 3, 2007

Under current U.S. immigration policy everybody loses. Most bad policies have at least some small beneficiary, but our virtually nonexistent immigration policy is just good enough to keep out any winners and just bad enough to make sure that everybody loses.

By Ben Selznick | July 31, 2007
