Women of Dartmouth deserve less objectivity, more emotion from The D

By Alyson Guillet | May 29, 2007

To the Editor: As a member of the audience of the Women of Dartmouth panel, I was incredibly disappointed by the reporting in The Dartmouth on the event (Senior women recount adjustment experiences, May 23). Never before had I seen such utter disrespect and disregard for speakers who seek to share something so personal of themselves with a room full of strangers.

What Can Greeks Do For You?

By Michael Kreicher | May 28, 2007

Last week, the Interfraternity Council, in partnership with Mentors Against Violence, Sexual Assault Peer Advisors and Student Assembly, announced the launch of a new sexual assault education program that will be mandatory for all IFC houses beginning this fall.

Help! I Need Somebody

By David Glovsky | May 25, 2007

When I was eight, my parents sent me to a child psychologist. I was an anxious little kid. Fast-forwarding years later, in high school and college, many of us were and are overbooked, overstressed and overworked.

Dartmouth needs stewards, not ideologues

By Jonathan Hancock | May 24, 2007

To the Editor: Contrary to some letters to the editor that I've read in the last week, Stephen Smith '88's election was not a referendum on the leadership of College President James Wright but a reflection of the bitter partisanship that has seeped its way into recent trustee races. Certain alumni and students (the Hanover Institute, the Phrygian Secret Society and the trustees who refused participation in the drafting of a new constitution, among others) seem to have an emotional and financial investment in stoking divisiveness and negativity at Dartmouth.

Mr. Smith Should Not Go To Hanover

By Mary Anna Sullivan | May 21, 2007

To the Editor: It is a sad day for progressive Dartmouth graduates who hope to see the College move into the 21st century ("Smith '88 wins trustee election," May 18). A possible creationist, who writes disparagingly of "radical feminists" and who would like to see a fraternity reinstated which was abolished for a controversial and offensive newsletter?

COSO and Student Autonomy

By PHILIP KENOL | May 21, 2007

During my brief time at Dartmouth, I have been a part of many student organizations on campus. Yet I've never paused to think whether the College actually recognizes the organizations and what they do.

A Redefining Movement

By Jacob Baron | May 21, 2007

After six weeks of voting, 44 relevant articles and opinions in this paper and extensive coverage in the national media, Stephen Smith '88 was elected last Thursday as Dartmouth's newest trustee.

The alumni have spoken

By Steve Horvath | May 21, 2007

To the Editor: Have you given up on even the pretension of being serious? You're distressed because a trustee candidate was "tapped to run by current petition trustees," but also refused to "disclose the sources of his funding" ("Verbum Ultimum: Pull Back the Curtain," May 18)? Oh, please.

Commercializing Birth

By Claire Murray | May 21, 2007

Recently, the British company DNA Worldwide launched a new product, available over the Internet, that can determine the sex of a fetus after as few as six weeks of a pregnancy.

A Student-Controlled Student Center

By Shaun Stewart | May 18, 2007

As I walked down Webster Avenue one recent morning (after a class nearby, just to be clear), I watched people coming and going in and out of their respective Greek houses and realized that Fraternity Row is the only truly student-controlled space on campus. I then walked down to the Collis Center for lunch and realized that the "student center," as it is called, is a complete joke.

Pull Back the Curtain

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 18, 2007

We are disheartened by the election of Stephen Smith '88. Not only was he tapped to run by current petition trustees, but he also refused to disclose the sources of his funding and mailing lists during his campaign.

College's prestige needs blind aid

By Nathan Bruschi | May 17, 2007

Dartmouth has an image problem. It is bad enough that some Americans confuse us with stunning regularity with the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, but in many foreign countries, the number of people who have even heard of Dartmouth is negligible.

The Bear Reborn

By Michael Belinsky | May 17, 2007

I was very surprised to read on this page that Zachary Hyatt '09 thinks the United States and Russia share similar national interests ("The Rumbling Bear: A Dying Art," May 15). I believe that Russia's recent actions, policies and rhetoric indicate the contrary. For the past seven years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has eradicated the vestiges of democracy and civil society that his predecessor, the late Boris Yeltsin, had struggled to build.
