Lessons from Durham

|

To the Editor: Bravo, Michael Kreicher '08, for your reminder of the importance of the presumption of innocence ("By Clear and Convincing Evidence," April 17). I have just finished writing a letter to the Duke board of trustees chairman, in which I refused to accept his exculpation of the university for its injustice to the charged lacrosse players.

Lessons from Blacksburg

|

To the Editor: We mourn the deaths of students and faculty at Virginia Tech ("Virginia Tech gunman kills 32 in bloodbath," April 17). It is appropriate and natural that we should do so.


Opinion

Misplaced Intellectualism

|

Tom Atwood '08 wrote last week of our fair College as a place "where intellectualism is dead" ("In Search of Intellectualism," April 12). I think Atwood has a point, but I do not believe intellectualism at Dartmouth is dead.

Gratitude from Virginia

|

To the Editor: As everyone around the world knows, April 16, 2007 was a horrific day for every student currently attending Virginia Tech, his or her parents, friends, family and everyone connected to the university.

The Immigration Solution

|

Although debate over the subject has significantly died down in recent weeks, immigration reform remains one of the most important domestic policy issues of our time. When President Bush introduced his "guest worker program" during a speech in January 2004, it was met with scorn both from conservatives, because they found it too close to amnesty, and immigrant activists, because they thought it was not close enough.

Needing Proaction in Congress

|

I write from the capital of progressive proaction: San Francisco. Each month thousands of bicyclists, who call themselves the Critical Mass Movement, halt the major thoroughfares of San Francisco's beautiful city streets - without organization, and only for the purpose of advancing bicyclists' rights.

Correcting Stewart's Zete assertions

To the Editor: I am a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity, and I cannot help but think that I speak for the other brothers in my house when I say that Shaun Stewart's op-ed ("Smith, Creationism and Frats.

A False Comparison

|

To the Editor: The recent opinion piece by Zachary Pfeiffer '05 about alcohol policy enforcement at Dartmouth ("Real Discrepancies Exist in Alcohol Policy Violations," April 13) gives me an opportunity to clarify something about the comparison to Yale.

An Unsustainable Apology

|

Recently, the organization Sustainable Dartmouth sent out a campus-wide BlitzMail message titled "A Clarification and an Apology." The e-mail responded to criticism and apologized for a previous campus-wide e-mail that referenced "hav[ing] a drum circle and smok[ing] lots of pot" on the Green in celebration of Earth Day.

Go Figure... Skate

|

"Nationals." No, the word's got nothing to do with a hilariously terrible national baseball team from D.C., or how far I got each year in the Matzah Eating Championships until my paralyzing peristalsis injury during my first kiss. In a glorious display of grace, perseverance, and incredible skill, our Dartmouth figure skating team took the NATIONAL title.

Politics of the Classroom

|

Last week, Tom Atwood '08 lamented the absence of intellectualism at Dartmouth outside of the classroom ("In Search of Intellectualism," April 12). He claims this is especially problematic given that most admissions brochures claim that a significant share of the learning at Dartmouth is done outside of the classroom.
