The Most Important Op-Ed Ever

By Cole Entress | February 25, 2005

This week has been perhaps the most dramatic in recent history. Or so it must seem for those loyal readers of The D's opinion section. For the rest of you, see if you can guess what the following articles in this week's opinion section were about.

Driving Toward the Future

By Tim Mosso | February 24, 2005

The time has come to revisit the concept of the electric car. The triple bind of energy dependence, global warming, and toxic emissions should draw the concern of all Americans.

Govy Gridlock

By Daniel Belkin | February 24, 2005

Unique things happen at this time of the term -- a lull exists before the storm of finals, it becomes increasingly difficult to hop out of bed for a 10 and Banner Student posts the new schedules for the next term.

The Truth about the Monologues

By Deborah Wassel | February 23, 2005

After my recent stint portraying a sexually defunct seventy-two-year-old in last week's production of "The Vagina Monologues," I received dozens of responses from both men and women concerning their reactions to the show.

A Roof over Every Head

By Sue DuBois | February 23, 2005

A Truce for Science and Religion

By Nathaniel Paull | February 23, 2005

John Stern '05, in his Feb. 22 column "Reasonable Religious Faith," is correct that it is a scientific and logical flaw to state that evolutionary theory precludes the existence of a creator.

Food, Clothing and ...

By Robert Butts | February 22, 2005

My memories from second grade are few and far between, but one episode that survives is the day my class watched a tragically bad educational video about the "essentials of living." I think the incident stands out because the video was narrated by a vaguely frightening ventriloquist's dummy that quizzed the young "contestants" on the video about rudimentary social studies knowledge. One question asked which of these four items was not essential for human living (pictures were helpfully provided): food, clothing, shelter or pets.

Reasonable Religious Faith

By John Stern | February 22, 2005

Intelligent design, the idea that random mutation and natural selection are not enough to account for the universe as we know it, is perhaps the most pressing intellectual and moral issue of our day.

Breaking Down Walls

By Jewelle Gomez | February 21, 2005

To the Editor: I would appreciate your printing my letter (unedited) in The Dartmouth as a rebuttal to your insulting, inflammatory and inaccurate coverage of my Stonewall Lecture on campus ("Leading gay rights activist bashes men, praises '60s rock," Jan.

Being a True Good Samaritan

By Julie Clemons | February 21, 2005

I have to take issue with the latest "Verbum Ultimum" (Feb. 18). I absolutely disagree with the statement, "The College should take no disciplinary action in response to a 'Good Samaritan' call, regardless of the history of the individual or organization making the call or the severity of the incident in question." Invoking the Good Samaritan policy should be a last resort, not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

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.
