Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 18, 2005

Dartmouth's "Good Samaritan" policy, outlined in Article II of the Student Alcohol Policy, ensures that "students and organizations that seek assistance will not be subject to College disciplinary action for either: (1) being the intoxicated person; or (2) having provided that person with alcohol." In the past, College officials have committed to upholding the policy so long as organizations do not flagrantly abuse it by repeated use. Recently, members of Theta Delta Chi fraternity made a "Good Samaritan" call which resulted in the fraternity's indictment on criminal charges.

The Doctor Is Back

By Chris Bateman | February 18, 2005

Remember when the National Review, during the Democratic primaries, ran that cover showing Howard Dean and begging, "Please Elect This Man"? Howard Dean has inspired sharp reactions from conservatives.

A Debatable Decision

By Professor Ron Edsforth | February 18, 2005

To the Editor: I find it very strange that our campus daily has not printed a word about the well-publicized debate I had with Victor Davis Hanson over the question "Is pre-emptive war in order to promote a free society justified?" This is obviously a question of greatest importance in the wake of President Bush's second inaugural address when the war in Iraq and war talk about Iran and Korea is again all over the media.

Basement Aesthetics

By Peter Gray | February 16, 2005

At 2:30 a.m. last Saturday night I was on the first floor of a fraternity, working my neck muscles in time with the music of, to quote one enthusiast, this "totally sweet band that just played in this sweet club in New York which is kind of a big deal." As said muscles trudged their way to their present lactic-acid-induced paralysis, I decided to take a breather and head downstairs.

Sins of Omission

By James R. Crandell | February 16, 2005

To the Editor: I could not help but notice the omission of Alpha Phi Alpha, Lambda Upsilon Lambda and Alpha Pi Omega from the front page chart of CFS GPA rankings ("Greek GPAs fall just short of College average," Feb.

The Anti-Pledge of Allegiance

By N. Alex Tonelli | February 15, 2005

An article in The D titled "At Six Year Mark, SLI Impacts Less Drastic Than Expected" (Feb. 14) stated that "current student opinion is far from the outcry that resulted when the [Student Life] Initiative was announced in 1999." This column seeks to refute that point, and make very clear that the SLI is indeed despised on campus today, and to beg every person who has at one time been associated with Dartmouth not to give money to the College until a radical redirection has occurred.

Being Helpful and Selfish

By Alex Howe | February 14, 2005

My Winter Carnival was almost entirely mindless fun. However, thanks to Saturday's New York Times editorial on religious faith, I couldn't help but do some thinking.

The Bonfire of the Inanities

By Julia Bernstein | February 14, 2005

The existence of an official Presidential reading list, about which rumors surfaced last week, seems the perfect invitation for jokes about the President's mastery of the English language.

Carnival Wishes

By Cole Entress | February 11, 2005

I'm a bad Dartmouth student. I don't mean that in the mid-80's way, like I ride a chopper with no helmet and wear a studded leather jacket with "Raw-HOG" emblazoned on the back.

Bring on the Liquor

By Ilya Feoktistov | February 11, 2005

As a fairly old Dartmouth tradition, our celebration of Winter Carnival embodies the "Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch, lest the old traditions fail" dictum in the Alma Mater.

The Liberal Mystique

By Deborah Wassel | February 10, 2005

Did you love Professor Bronski's class on the Feminine Mystique last spring? Enjoying the Masculine Mystique with Professor Travis now? If you answered yes to these questions, then boy, have I got a class for you! I'm proposing a new class to explore one of the greatest mysteries of the modern day.

Having a Safe Winter Carnival

By Tara Burns | February 10, 2005

To the Editor: It seems that every time I read the police blotter, a student from a college other than Dartmouth is getting picked up for an alcohol violation.
