By Ben Selznick | April 6, 2006

Recently, the Georgia State Legislature proposed a popular bill (expected to pass any day now) that will allow for the teaching of two religion classes in its public schools: History and Literature of the Old Testament and History and Literature of the New Testament.

Anchors Away for Couric?

By Julia Bernstein | April 5, 2006

One of the highlights (or lowlights) of my internship this past winter was seeing -- or perhaps almost not seeing -- Today Show high priestess Katie Couric outside Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Quota expansion is not the solution

By Charles Gardner | April 4, 2006

To the Editor: Zak Moore '09 makes several good points about the need for better enforcement of our immigration laws with respect to illegal immigrants ("Chances For All, Safety From The Few," April 3), but I take issue with his contention that the United States must significantly expand quotas for legal immigration. The United States already maintains the most generous immigration policy of any country, admitting more than one million people annually in recent years, and few of these arrivals are admitted according to any standard set to benefit the nation (such as educational attainment). Remarkably, over two-thirds of immigrants are let in simply because they are immediate or sponsored relatives of U.S.

Ozzie Harris will be missed

By Holly Sateia | April 4, 2006

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article in Tuesday's Dartmouth regarding Ozzie Harris' departure from the College ("Diversity chief Harris unexpectedly resigns," March 28). I have known Ozzie for over 20 years, and during this time, we have worked together on numerous projects and initiatives.

In Defense of the D-Plan

By Daniel Belkin | April 4, 2006

With the clear exception of West Point, Dartmouth is the only school where college students wake at daybreak to attend "drill." Simultaneously, unlike the majority of other colleges, at Dartmouth "Beirut" does not refer to some subpar sophomoric drinking game.

By Woody Klein | April 4, 2006

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article about House election between Paul Hodes and Representative Charlie Bass ("Bass '74, Hodes '72 face off in next N.H.

Better off caged

By Dave Schaefer | April 3, 2006

To the Editor: Cage-free chicken eggs sound liberating, romantic and very organic. Please keep in mind the following: First, cage-free chickens can be defined as a chicken that goes outside the coop for as little as 10 seconds and then goes back inside the coop to do its business.

Let my chickens go

By Josh Balk | April 3, 2006

To the Editor: Dartmouth should be proud of its dining services' decision to switch to cage-free eggs ("DDS switches to eggs from cage-free chickens," March 30). Unfortunately, most eggs in this country come from hens confined in barren cages too small for them even to spread their wings.

Chances for All, Safety from the Few

By Zak Moore | April 3, 2006

The immigration issue is complicated, with tensions running high on both sides. I find myself torn but, like anyone who carefully examines the situation, I recognize the need to crack down immediately. The United States has become a beacon of liberty, inspiring freedom around the world.

Major Advice for Major Advisors

By Caleb Powers | April 3, 2006

I love my Hinman Box. It is to BlitzMail what stealing cars and killing prostitutes is to simply playing Grand Theft Auto video games; it's more interactive, more old school, more fun and it often involves money from Grandma. Last term my box brought me all kinds of fun reading materials.

By David Rothenberg | March 31, 2006

This week, the fate of the next class of American university attendees will be mailed to them. High school seniors nationwide will open letters of acceptance and rejection, catalysts of elation or dejection.

'Major' Issues not for High School

By Robert Butts | March 30, 2006

I have a confession to make: I've always been a little bit creeped out by those people who are absolutely certain about what they want to do. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong about having a concrete plan for the future.

Big Green Softies

By Zeke Turner | March 30, 2006

We were on the number four train heading uptown north of Union Square when a sleeping homeless man at the end of the car rolled on his side, removed his penis from his pants and started to urinate on the floor of the train.

Recognizing America's Weaknesses

By Tina Praprotnik | March 29, 2006

As most of us enjoyed a carefree spring break, the nightly news was not comforting. Recent stories reported on severe financial troubles for America's largest automaker, General Motors, and for our largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer, Lucent Technologies.

Freedman's helping hand

By Caryn R. Karo | March 29, 2006

To the Editor: The late College President James Freedman's tenure was before my time, but I had heard and read on several occasions how he had helped to make the Dartmouth campus safe for all, particularly women and Jewish students.
