A Broken System

By Tim Mosso | April 28, 2005

If "three strikes" were a universal rule, the United States' prison systems would be serving hard time.

Trying to Stay Above the Fray

By D. Marc Capobianco | April 27, 2005

I sometimes feel I no longer recognize my college. I'm not speaking of the inevitable changes to the student body, faculty, curriculum and physical campus we all ought to anticipate with any prolonged passage of time.

A New "New Deal"

By Daniel Belkin | April 26, 2005

With the Bush Administration's assault on Social Security and nomination of a vehement anti-internationalist to the United Nations, it is likely that Franklin Delano Roosevelt will soon rise from his grave to exact revenge upon those dismantling his powerful legacy.

The Truth about EPAC

By Peter Sokol-Hessner | April 26, 2005

David Hankins '05 is misguided in his rebuttal to The Dartmouth's "Verbum Ultimum" ("EPAC Strikes Back," April 25). While Hankins complains of inaccuracies, he has a few of his own, not to mention an apparent lack of restraint when it comes to baseless assumptions. His speculations against Palaeopitus are groundless and self-congratulatory.

Time for DeLay to Go

By Robert Butts | April 25, 2005

I am a Republican, and I love my party. And that is precisely why I believe that it's high time for Tom DeLay to step down as House majority leader. Tom DeLay, as might be expected, sees things a little bit differently.

Dead Wrong on Rhetoric

By Ryan Clark | April 25, 2005

To the Editor: I was disappointed to see that Professor Jim Kuypers decided to resign his position last week, likely ending the study of speech and rhetoric at Dartmouth ("Speech prof resigns, blasts faculty deans," April 22). His classes were well taught and well-received by students.

EPAC Strikes Back

By David Hankins | April 25, 2005

To the Editor: I just want to set the record straight on a couple points because I believe there were factual inaccuracies at the heart of Friday's "Verbum Ultimum" (April 2). First of all, I think that Paul Heintz '06 most likely would not have been allowed to run for Student Body President if Palaeopitus were still in control of student elections because of the rules on college discipline that had been in place for many years.

Slanted Views on Speech

By Kenan Yount | April 25, 2005

To the Editor: Dartmouth Counsel Robert Donin's conclusion on the state of free speech at Dartmouth is perhaps one of the most slanted views on the issue that I have read ("Free Speech and its Limits," April 18). For example, he cites the that the College has hosted speakers who are "hardly a pantheon of political correctness." To set the record straight, I think it should be recognized that being conservative does not render one politically incorrect.

Opinion

Apocalypse Now

By Julia Bernstein | April 22, 2005

I have a new guilty pleasure. With dialogue worse than "The O.C." and plots more incredible than "Joan of Arcadia," NBC's miniseries "Revelations" is not to be believed.

Ideals versus Interests

By Morgan Cohen | April 21, 2005

Perhaps the greatest question facing the Bush administration is the question of resolve. While the President has publicly committed himself to democratic reform in the Middle East, what remains to be seen is whether or not his actions will match the lofty Wilsonian rhetoric of his second inaugural address.

Hey, if Phi Delt Can Do It...

By David Wolkoff | April 21, 2005

To the Editor: I think that the entire Dartmouth Community recognizes that Zete's actions in regards to the "Zetemouth," or the newsletter that they published, were inappropriate.

Inexcusable Conduct, Inadmissible Evidence

By Ian Kyle | April 21, 2005

To the Editor: I read on Wednesday ("Drug charges leveled against senior after police search frat," April 20) that: "Police told [Tabard President Michael Guzman '06] that one of the officers noticed evidence of illicit substances in plain view in room 10, while scouring the house for any fires." Police now scour private rooms for fires?

It's Still a Beautiful Dartmouth

By David G. Hankins | April 21, 2005

As Max Ehrmann wrote in his poem Desiderata, "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story." One thing I have learned about Dartmouth students in the course of the recently concluded elections is that far too often we claim an individual monopoly on the truth.

Take SA Out of EPAC

By Eva Vivalt | April 21, 2005

Does anyone else find it strange that the people on the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee -- responsible for ensuring fair elections and thus charged with neutrality in determining sanctions for possible rule violations -- are themselves from Student Assembly? I was on EPAC last year, when it was run by Palaeopitus with representatives from other organizations.

A New Paradigm for SA

By Caleb Powers | April 20, 2005

Just hanging out around campus, stuff doesn't appear to be going too shabbily. I get from place to place and class to class, check my BlitzMail every so often, buy a meal at one of the many campus eateries when I'm hungry, maybe even take a break from online poker and browsing your personal files to check some assignments on blackboard.

Martin Has the Experience

By Edythe Wilson | April 20, 2005

To the Editor: Through my time as a member of Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority I have learned that experience truly matters when dealing with the Greek community and its role on Dartmouth's campus.
