A Farewell to Rage

By Janos Marton | June 13, 2004

Most of life's decisions are just Coke versus Pepsi," my professor once explained. There's a lot of pressure when you first set foot on a college campus having been told by everyone to expect the best four years of your life, especially when most of us chose Dartmouth on a whim.

Five Years After the SLI . . .

By James Larimore | June 2, 2004

What a difference a year can make. The dialogue between students and administrators over the past academic year has helped to improve communication, clarify and correct misunderstandings, make adjustments to procedures for managing social events and build trust.

Abraham Kerry

By Kabir Sehgal | June 1, 2004

John Kerry reminds me of Abraham Lincoln. Before you choke on your B-Feld, understand that I'm talking about Lincoln the person, not Lincoln the legend.

Dorm Room Dice

By Dan Knecht | June 1, 2004

We can all breathe a sigh of relief after the end of those infamous few days of room draw. The majority of Dartmouth students have successfully interpreted dormitory blueprints, negotiated with overzealous ORL employees and jockeyed for prime Dartmouth real estate.

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 28, 2004

Compromise, an element often lacking in decisions made in all walks of life, has today created grins of satisfaction both in Parkhurst Hall and along Webster Avenue. The Dartmouth community receives welcome news that Greek leaders have finalized plans with College officials to move rush back to the fall.

Nalgene Alcohol Statistics Are Not Fuzzy Math

By John H. Pryor | May 28, 2004

To The Editor: The article "Stats class questions social norms" (The Dartmouth, May 25) contained an assertion that "the statistic is inaccurate because of the possible sample bias of those who responded to the online survey." My office, the Office of Evaluation and Research, conducted that survey and presented the results to the Health Educators who then crafted the social norms messages. I have two points I'd like to make.

Responsibilities of a Trustee

By Christopher Springer | May 27, 2004

In T.J. Rodgers' recent op-ed, he accuses Professor Wilder of misrepresenting his perspective on diversity (The Dartmouth, "Popular Trustee Candidate Responds," May 12). He writes: "If Wilder had taken the trouble to read my trustee candidate statement on the Dartmouth website . . . he would have read the following introduction, which is followed by a statement that is obviously inconsistent with his claims." However, the quote he cites is not in the introduction to his candidate statement -- it is not in his candidate statement at all.

Work-Study Is No Vacation

By Ryan Abraham | May 27, 2004

To the Editor: I feel it is important to dispel the myth that student employment at Baker-Berry is an "all-expenses-paid vacation." The Dartmouth staff approached "Library Jobs Long On Time For Studying" appearing in Wednesday's issue of The Dartmouth with a personal agenda (May 26), took my words out of context and misquoted me.

Not a Superfan of the Coverage...

By Ben Wade | May 26, 2004

To the Editor: After reading Ben Zimmerman's article, "Ceremony celebrates athletic achievement," (The Dartmouth, May 25) one might be under the impression that the Celebration of Excellence was designed in large part to honor Elliot Olshansky for his dedication to Dartmouth athletics as both a fan and a sportswriter for the Dartmouth.

No Stigma to Mental Illness

By Harold A. Maio | May 25, 2004

To the Editors: There is no "stigma" to mental illnesses (The Dartmouth, "Arthur '06 struggles with stigma of mental illness," May 18). Your employment of the term is unconscionable.

For Spanish Democracy

By David Hankins | May 25, 2004

To the Editor: Peter Chen's column, "Cowardly Spain," (The Dartmouth, May 17) asserts that the Spanish pull-out from Iraq was an act of cowardice.

"Tasteful" Pornography?

By Chris Langevin | May 25, 2004

To the Editor: Welton Chang ("Putting Pornography in Context," May 19) writes, "Pornography as depicted in magazines such as Playboy can be done in tasteful ways." It's good to know that there are "tasteful" ways to objectify a woman!
