Misplaced Intellectualism

By David Glovsky | April 20, 2007

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

By Kevin Kirby | April 19, 2007

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

By Nathan Bruschi | April 19, 2007

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

By Zachary Hyatt | April 19, 2007

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

By Kevin Fisher | April 18, 2007

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

By Dan Nelson | April 18, 2007

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

By Christian Kiely | April 18, 2007

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

By Zachary Gottlieb | April 18, 2007

"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

By Kevin Hudak | April 18, 2007

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.

By Kapil Kale | April 16, 2007

Frustration with Dartmouth's student government reached new heights this year. In response, Student Assembly unanimously voted to establish the Student Governance Review Task Force, an all-student committee charged with investigating and presenting solutions to longstanding issues.

Don't Cut the Cable for TVless TV

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 13, 2007

The Dartmouth Editorial Board unanimously endorses watching television on televisions. Unfortunately, the College's Computing Services department doesn't seem to agree. Network Services Director Frank Archambeault said last week that the College is planning to pull the plug on our cable TVs in June.

Real discrepancies exist in alcohol violation policies

By Zachary Pfeiffer | April 13, 2007

To the Editor: Despite Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson's assertion to the contrary ("Dartmouth's Enforcement of Alcohol Laws," April 3), it is obvious that Yale administrators take a far different approach to the enforcement of alcohol violations than their counterparts at Dartmouth. The statistics in Joseph Asch '79's op-ed ("Thirsty for a Reasonable Alcohol Policy," Feb.

The Conservative Party School

By Daniel Belkin | April 13, 2007

"Our first event qualifies for course credit at Dartmouth College: trick pouring," Duffman announced at the Duff Beer bartending competition on "The Simpsons." Perpetuating the College's stereotype for being soaked in hops and malt, this reference offers another reminder of Dartmouth's reputation among Ivy rivals. From the legacy of "Animal House," the 1978 cult classic that Dartmouth's frat house shenanigans inspired, to the national attention afforded The Dartmouth Review in the 1980s, relics of the Big Green's past endure as myths that paint a skewed picture of the College today.
