Religious Designs on Science

By Chris Bateman | September 21, 2005

One word in the opening paragraph of Adrian Ng's op-ed sums up his highly misleading piece: "Apparently, in the field of astrophysics, there is a resurgence of religious interest" ("New Conclusions About Origins," Aug.

Finding a Niche

By Ivy Pruss | September 1, 2005

Arriving here from my hometown of Las Vegas, my first shock came at discovering that the vast majority of Dartmouth students appeared to read "The Official Preppy Handbook" not as anachronistic social satire but as the holy scriptures of fashion -- thou shall pop thy collars and wear four shirts at a time!

Don't Know Much (Gay) History

By Michael Amico | September 1, 2005

Now that I am at Dartmouth, I have begun to learn what being gay actually means. But I had no idea how my sexual identity was inextricably linked to a wider, ineffaceable context of history, culture, society and politics.

A Five-Step Program

By John Rassias | September 1, 2005

Welcome! You'll be here before you know it and you're already developing a sense of the place; you feel the energy and vibrancy around you; you'll met people like you and some unlike you, and over-all you'll like what you see.

The Right Kind of Idealism

By Benjamin Taylor | September 1, 2005

Robinson Hall

This year's Tubestock weekend, though free of any serious problems, prompted many local law enforcement officials to inquire about a means to step up enforcement on the Connecticut River, especially with regard to blatant public drinking by underage students. Valentin Valkov's drowning last Friday only exacerbated that issue, as Hanover Police confirmed the involvement of alcohol in the incident. Instead of Valkov heading to Oxford University as he had originally planned, the Bridge students' alcohol-influenced decision-making led to the unfortunate loss of Valkov's life. The connection between alcohol use and Dartmouth tradition has the potential to destroy the tenuous relationship between Hanover Police, College officials and the Dartmouth student body. To date, the College and local law enforcement officials should be commended for their conscious restraint from a knee-jerk reaction against Tubestock and other summer traditions, despite the inherent safety risks involved.

A Closer Look at the Data

By Michael Amico | August 11, 2005

To the Editor: In "Where Feminism Went Too Far" (Aug. 4), Iden Sinai ends his interpretation of the widely-documented gender gap in adolescent academic achievement -- females routinely outscoring their male cohorts -- with a preposterous conclusion: "The cadre of extremist feminists that seemingly has hijacked American education from kindergarten through graduate work has created an Orwellian playing field where one gender is just more equal than the other." But Sinai does not disclose the members of this cadre.
