Sure, I could have made it to the top. Standing 5-foot 10-inches, weighing 180 pounds, I was about as perfect an athletic specimen as Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV.
To the Editor: Bravo to Paul Heintz '06 for reprimanding Carlos Mejia '08 of the Dartmouth Free Press.

Unlike many of you, I met presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, in a unique way. Many may have seen Kucinich give formal talks or speeches regarding policy and his run for the presidency, but I was introduced to this unique candidate in a slightly different manner.

One Carlos Mejia '08, managing editor of the venerable Dartmouth Free Press, wrote that he was "strongly disappointed" that The Dartmouth printed the names of finalists for the Dean of the College position last week ("Dean candidate names should not have been published," Feb.

Max Bryer '08 missed the point about sexual assault ("An Unfair Generalization of Frats," Feb. 22).

To the Editor: I disagree with Matthew Nolan '07 ("Sex: Not at all Like Steak," Feb. 21) that "sometimes the reason we do not talk about certain issues is that they are not acceptable."
