Cultural Commercialization

By Tina Praprotnik | November 3, 2006

Recently, Google acquired the beloved video-sharing website YouTube for $1.65 billion, making the $580 million that Rupert Murdoch shelled out last year for MySpace seem like a paltry sum.

A fair assessment of diversity

By Alexandra Leonard | November 3, 2006

To the Editor: Regarding "Dartmouth's Diversity Obsession" (Nov. 2), I certainly respect the author's opinion, and as a woman and person of color, I am proud that there is a significant amount of community-wide discourse devoted to the diversity "issue." However, I find fault with a number of the arguments.

Dartmouth's Diversity Obsession

By Jacob Baron | November 2, 2006

A Wake-Up Call

By Shaun Stewart | October 30, 2006

Last week, President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This sweeping legislation gives the president unprecedented power to wage the "war on terror," disregard the Geneva convention and gut the Constitution. One of the main components of the bill allows the president to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for any non-citizen he deems an "enemy combatant." For anyone unfamiliar with habeas corpus, it is essentially the Constitutional concept that says that the government cannot imprison people for long periods of time without charging them with a crime and allowing them to come before a judge.

To the Editor: I appreciate The Dartmouth's highlighting the "Good Samaritan" policy, but I am writing in response to Friday's editorial that conveys the misconception that the policy is applied on a "subjective, case-by-case basis" ("Verbum Ultimum," Oct.
