Legacy Favoritism: Undermining Merit-Based Admission

By PATRICK MATTIMORE | August 19, 2004

At the Democratic National Convention in 1988, political commentator Jim Hightower remarked that the elder George Bush was "born on third base and thinks he hit a triple." Nice coattails for our current president! The current President Bush has enjoyed legacy breaks beginning with his admission to Yale clear through to his appointment as commander-in-chief by the Supreme Court in 2000. Some people have gone further to suggest the president has benefited from affirmative action of a divine design.

All That Jazz

By Chamblee H. Rainey | August 19, 2004

To the Editor: I was shocked and appalled at the inaccuracies of Stephen Macekura's "No -- Loss of 'Big Aristotle' will spell tragedy in L.A." (The Dartmouth, July 22). This attempt at sports commentary and analysis named the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns as "other playoff teams" who upgraded their rosters, despite the fact neither made the playoffs.

Safe and Appropriate

By Cynthia Pawlek | August 17, 2004

To the Editor: While it is important to state that the library unequivocally protects the academic freedom of its users by not monitoring or in any way controlling their Internet viewing, it is equally important to stress the library's responsibility to provide a safe and appropriate environment for all faculty, students and staff in which to work.

Chill Out, or Stay Home

By Hisaaski Kobayashi | August 12, 2004

To the Editor: This Tassel character is absolutely ridiculous (The Dartmouth, Aug. 3). The bottom line is, girls who went to jump off the platform knew full well that they would be chanted at when they were up there.

Sports, drugs and tragedy

By Robert Butts | August 10, 2004

In 1989, when Major League Baseball announced that all-time hits leader Pete Rose would be banned from the game for life as punishment for gambling on baseball, the phrase "tragedy" got tossed around a lot.

An Unecessary, Ignorant Jab

By Patrick Ward | August 5, 2004

To the Editor: While John Stevenson makes some interesting points in "In Need of Discrimination" (The Dartmouth, August 3), I found his brief jab at science and engineering departments totally unecessary, and, moreover, reflective of deep ignorance: "(Unfortunately, the sciences and engineering departments often have curricula that are devoid of normative content.
