Divestment Clarified

By Kelsey Noonan | November 21, 2005

To the Editor: In response to Yan Shurin's comment in The Dartmouth about the legitimacy of divestment, there seems to be some misunderstanding ("Disapproving of Divestment," Nov.

Terrell Owens: Bigger than Football

By David Rothenberg | November 18, 2005

Terrell Owens, the controversially outspoken yet unquestionably talented wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, has once again found himself front and center in a debate that has quickly burgeoned beyond the scope of the NFL. On Nov.

Disapproving of Divestment

By Yan Shurin | November 17, 2005

To the Editor: While I definitely applaud the sentiment and motivation behind all the efforts towards divestment from Sudan-related companies ("Trustees vote to divest from Sudan-related companies," Nov.

Approving of Divestment

By Ben Elberger | November 17, 2005

To the Editor: I am writing to congratulate Dartmouth College, the Darfur Action Group and specifically Niral Shah '08, Janet Smith '08, Kelsey Noonan '08 and Anne Bellows '06 for their leadership on the issue of divestment . On Monday, the nation's most extensive university divestment effort culminated in a decision of historic proportions.

Narrow-minded Criticism

By Mike Heslin | November 17, 2005

Iden Sinai '07's recent op-ed ("Opposition to Alito is unfounded," Nov. 10) carelessly dismisses any opposition to President Bush's latest nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Samuel Alito, without making any actual attempt to understand it. Calling arguments from the left "facile and ill-founded," Sinai first attacks critics for calling Alito unqualified for the Supreme Court.

Amarna Deserves Recognition

By Meredith Cook | November 16, 2005

To the Editor: A recent Dartmouth Mirror article ("The Co-Eds," Nov. 11) contained a substantial omission, as it failed to include Amarna, one of Dartmouth's two undergraduate societies.

Promoting Student Assembly

By Noah Riner | November 16, 2005

The role of Student Assembly at Dartmouth is pretty simple: to help improve life at Dartmouth and to convey student concerns to the administration.

Biloxi Expense is Justified

By Kaelin Goulet | November 16, 2005

To the Editor: While I agree with the basic premise of the recent Verbum Ultimum (Nov. 11), you are mistaken to paint the sum of money allocated to the Katrina relief efforts with the same brush of criticism as you do many of Student Assembly's budgetary decisions. You write about the break in precedent.

Playing Capture the Flag

By Ben Selznick | November 16, 2005

While conversing with me about his Democratic party canvassing work this past summer, my friend uttered something that struck me as highly interesting: "When I walked up to a house that had American flags prominently displayed, I assumed that it was a conservative house.

Abraham Lincoln Hates America

By Daniel Belkin | November 15, 2005

The war was "unnecessarily and unconstitutionally commenced by the President" and justified by the "sheerest deception." These are not the words of some liberal New England Democrat about the current Iraq war, but those of Congressman Abraham Lincoln in the U.S.

The Wild West of Internet Media

By Robert Butts | November 15, 2005

Technology writers have likened the internet to the Wild West (it's an analogy I am not particularly fond of, for reasons that will become clear soon enough, but for the moment I will just run with it). Cyberspace, the argument goes, is a new and effectively boundless frontier that is open for expansion.

Unsustainable Global Capitalism

By Benjamin Borbely | November 14, 2005

A realization struck me, as it has many others, last night reading The New York Times: two op-eds -- one on environmental degradation in China, the other on the riots in France by the poor and disenfranchised -- are connected.

The Art of Moving On

By Daniel Chiu | November 14, 2005

Students often comment on how quickly our four years at Dartmouth go by -- how we must cherish our time here because it will be over before we know it.

Democratic Support for Alito

By Tina Praprotnik | November 14, 2005

Bush's choice of nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court is neither surprising nor outrageous. I imagine that if Clinton were to nominate a conservative, he would encounter a negative response from his Democratic supporters as well as from Republicans.

Electing Movers and Shakers

By Bill Markson | November 11, 2005

To the Editor: Why should anyone be any more alarmed at the election of supposedly conservative and anti-establishment trustees to the board than he or she might have been at the election of liberal or radical trustees beginning in the '60s?
