Theta Delts, Not Theta Delt

|

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.


Opinion

Man Versus Beast

|

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.


Opinion

Focus on the Real Issue

|

To the Editor: When an event occurs such as last weeks' between Kappa Kappa Gamma and Theta Delta Chi, it gives a publication the opportunity to turn a troublesome situation into impetus for change in guy-girl dynamics at Dartmouth ("Kappas accuse Theta Delt of harassment," Aug.

Women Against the Greeks?

In Friday's article concerning the alleged incidence of misogyny that occurred at Theta Delta Chi fraternity on Wednesday evening ("Kappas accuse Thata Delt of harassment," Aug.

Questions for Theta Delt

I am writing this in response to the incident between Theta Delta Chi and Kappa Kappa Gamma last week and the article in last Friday's issue of The Dartmouth ("Kappas accuse Theta Delt of harassment," Aug.

1891 Agreement: Agendas Aside

|

Mr. Zywicki would have us believe, because he is "not only a lawyer but a professor who has taught contract law for over a decade" that, unless we can compete with his credentials, we ought to sit down and shut up ("Honoring the 1891 Agreement," Aug.

Finding Humor in the Howl

|

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.


Opinion

Honoring the 1891 Agreement

|

Since 1891, Dartmouth's alumni have elected half of the Board of Trustees, a right memorialized in several Board resolutions adopted at the time and traditionally referred to as the "1891 Agreement." In recent communications to alumni, however, Chairman of the Board Ed Haldeman questioned the validity of this longstanding agreement.

Everybody's Loss

|

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.

So Long, Mr. Biggio

|

Hardcore baseball fans, and especially the gentleman on campus who attractively sports the Astros warm-up jacket and cowboy hat, know well the name Craig Biggio.


Opinion

Rhetoric or Real Reform?

|

To the Editor: In his recent guest column Professor Stephen Smith decries the latest "establishment" challenge to alumni rights ("Countering Campaign Charge," July 17). Fortunately, Trustee Smith is now in an excellent position to make a real difference, if he chooses to focus on real issues. Whether he spent $20,000 or $200,000 is not the issue.

YouTube, You Choose

|

Just as the first televised debate, the famed 1960 match between Kennedy and Nixon, revolutionized the campaign process by putting candidates on display in millions of American homes, YouTube is once again redefining the role of democracy.



Opinion

Secondhand Smoke

Incentives run the world. People go to work in exchange for a salary. My dog sits when I tell her to because she knows I am holding a dog biscuit.



Opinion

A call for cooperation

|

To the Editor: I was surprised this morning to read Stephen Smith's rather charged opinion ("Countering Campaign Charges," July 17). Now that Smith is a trustee, I expect that he will represent all of us.

Making an Impact

|

People always ask me what I want do in my life. Each time, my answer includes "making an impact." I suspect others like me exist at Dartmouth.
