We all know the stereotypes: the bakers, the pearl-sporting polo wearers, the girls who can out-drink the boys.
One might think that given the war on terror, America's interests in the Middle East and the general world scene, that Arab language specialists might be important to the U.S.
With the demise of Tubestock, a hallmark of sophomore summer for the past 20 years and an event that students have looked forward to since freshman fall, many sophomores feel that a right of their summer was taken away from them.
To the Editor: While I share Deborah Wassel '07's feeling of obligation to "do something great" with my life, and I appreciate her support of gender equality at home and the workplace, I consider part of her argument ("Women at Work," July 18) unfair.
To the Editor: I write to respectfully disagree with David Glovsky '08 on the subject of covering international issues in The Dartmouth ("My Relationship with The D," Aug.
A couple of nights ago, I decided to procrastinate on my homework and call up one of my friends from my hometown.
To the Editor: I think last Thursday's article about the valve breaking in Alumni Gym was one for the classic archives ("Valve causes serious AC failure at gym," July 27). The whole idea that a faulty valve ordered for a brand new fitness center would render the facility useless (or at best suffocating) for the entire student body for pretty much the rest of the summer is just so utterly absurd that it actually doesn't surprise me; rather it highlights the utter incompetence behind some of the things that go on around here.

"Camp Dartmouth" brings students a variety of new opportunities that do not exist during the rest of the school year.
To the Editor: I want to refute Brian Chao's article, "No Justification for Zidane's Head-Butt." I don't claim to know the specifics of this case or to know what actually happened between the two soccer players, whether Zidane's sister and sick mother were insulted or not.
Right now, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is smiling. Death and destruction make him happy -- especially when it advances his maniacal schemes and especially when those doing the dying have coffins draped by the Star of David.
To the Editor: Max Bryer's op-ed on July 13 ("Israel's Right to Self-Defense") is embarrassingly simplistic.
The issue of gender equity in schools is older than the hills. Well, it's pretty old, at least. It therefore didn't surprise me to read the New York Times' recent series on the "gender gap" in higher education.
To the Editor: Thank you for running such a great humor piece, "Rooting for the underdog: How the Mets shape my life," about the "underdog" New York Mets in the July 6 issue!
To the Editor: I am writing to voice my strong disagreement with Jennifer Yu's article, "Zidane deserves sympathy, not scorn, following head-butt," (July 13) expressing understanding for Zinedine Zidane's disgraceful act on the pitch in last Sunday's final.
