The Justice of Retaliation

|

Steven Spielberg should be commended for his most recent film, the gripping "Munich." As we live in a world that is still very much held hostage to the type of insidious terror that underpins much of "Munich," the film and its message are especially poignant.

Teaching All Viewpoints

|

There exists this school of thought referred to as intelligent design. This view of the world, the universe, and "how we got here" claims that the complexity and beauty inherent in life is so amazing that it could only have been put into motion by an aforementioned intelligent designer.

Seeking Security

|

As college campuses go, Dartmouth is pretty laid-back. Our social lives do not revolve around nightclubs shared with non-Dartmouth residents.

Usually I use this space pithily to opine about politics or some arcane aspect of life here at Dartmouth, but today, I would like to opine about something far more important that happened over the past weekend.

More Than Just Changing Names

|

In his op-ed ("Poor Writing at Dartmouth," Jan. 16), Joseph Asch '79 gives the impression that all that the Writing Program has done to date is change some names: the Composition Center to RWIT, and English 2-3 and English 5 to Writing 2-3 and Writing 5.

Universal Diversity

Last year, the College invited Dorothy Allison to deliver the keynote address for the series of events in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.
