Countering Campaign Charges

By Stephen F. Smith | July 17, 2007

Before the ink was dry on the press release announcing my election to the Board of Trustees last month, we were let in on a secret: a Board committee from which petition trustees have been excluded is exploring alternative methods of selecting Trustees -- a euphemism, really, for stripping Dartmouth alumni of their longstanding right to elect half of the Board. The basis for this unprecedented assault on alumni rights is a series of false charges made by those who have again found themselves on the losing side of an election. The leading charge is that I essentially "bought" the election.

Internship Insanity

By Daniel Belkin | July 10, 2007

Why would anyone work for free? After the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865, unpaid labor in this country pretty much went out of vogue.

Citation Corrected

By April Thompson | July 10, 2007

I am writing in response to Christian Kiely '09's column regarding flaws in the administration of discipline at Dartmouth ("Citation Error," July 3). Kiely provides a perspective from his personal observations, but I would like to clarify some information about the Office of Undergraduate Judicial Affairs and the Committee on Standards. First, there are not "differing levels of attention" paid to serious misconduct at Dartmouth or "divergent standards of proof" in the disciplinary system.

The Hair Up There

By Zak Moore | July 6, 2007

It is not that I dislike all modern art. I have made many trips to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, perhaps like any college student aspiring to be "open minded," and I have generally been quite pleased.

Gah-Gah for Gu

By Tina Praprotnik | June 29, 2007

Dartmouth does not usually attract a student body that is especially artsy. Located far from major galleries and museums, our College certainly does not claim to be an oasis of visual art.
