Immelt '78: Only the CEO of GE

By David Alskog | May 11, 2004

To the Editor: It was a sad comment on the selection process for the 2004 commencement speaker in The Dartmouth on May 5 ("Immelt '78 tapped for commencement"). Is it an unflattering reflection on the decision process for commencement speakers by the Administration or an aberration that it omitted to mention salient facts?

Tarnished Reputation

By Dan Knecht | May 11, 2004

Those horrifying photos of American soldiers humiliating Iraqi prisoners in Saddam's former jail of Abu Ghraib is the visual culmination of how much the world -- and especially the Arab world -- views our presence in the region.

Disney's Partisan Kingdom

By Amie Sugarman | May 10, 2004

Imagine a world in which the President of the United States pushes us to war with a country over invented claims of weapons of mass destruction and fabricated assertions of ties to terrorism.

Verbum Ultimum

And so end the weeks of feverish campaigning, the hours of impassioned speeches and the closest Student Assembly election in recent memory. The first observation to make about this election season is that it motivated the largest voter turnout in over a decade.

A Mandate for Change

By Ralph Davies | May 7, 2004

This election certainly is bittersweet for all involved. I don't think anyone feels completely satisfied about the process or even the end result. With this in mind, I think it is important first to thank every student on this campus for putting up with the incessant BlitzMails, posters, newspaper scandals and general controversy.

Outlining the 'Porn Agenda'

By Meg Ciavarella | May 6, 2004

Kevin Arnold claims in his op-ed "EndPorn Has An Agenda" (The Dartmouth, April 30) that "the consumption of pornography may in fact be beneficial to sexual health, both for couples and for individuals." His entirely accurate and appropriate use of the word "consumption" exemplifies the problems of pornography.

Blitz Sensitivity Check

By Julia Baxter | May 6, 2004

If there's anything that brings this college together, it is our tried and true e-mail program. Students and faculty monitor blitz as a second career because it is the main form of communication on campus, and it is made widely available.

Sexual Abuse Awareness Program

By Lavinia Weizel | May 4, 2004

To The Dartmouth Editorial Board: Your editorial "Verbum Ultimum" (April 23) raised central issues regarding sexual assault at Dartmouth and the complexities of initiating effective programming that does not additionally burden survivors but makes an immediate impact.

Returning the Favor

By Sandeep Ramesh | May 3, 2004

The world can be a better place if we constantly remind ourselves of the immortal words spoken by former "Male Model of the Year," Derek Zoolander: "I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking.

Think Twice About UNICEF

By Sokrat Postol | May 3, 2004

To the Editor: In the April 26 edition of The Dartmouth, Sheila Chithran '05 ("UNICEF Deserves Recognition") presents a problem within the Dartmouth bureaucracy that needs immediate attention or reconsideration: its failure to give recognition to a Dartmouth chapter of the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

EndPorn Has An Agenda

By Kevin Arnold | April 30, 2004

Contrary to popular belief, apparently even the opinions of porn consumers themselves, the use of pornography is not "a shameful thing" ("New Student Group Combats Pornography Addiction," April 27). Despite the claims of EndPorn as a support and awareness group, I see this organization as yet another extension of an apparatus seeking to regulate sexual behavior under a particular moral and cultural agenda, even when that agenda conflicts with the values and desires of those it is seeking to influence. EndPorn is a new student group that (apparently) targets "porn addicts" to help them with their perceived addiction and to raise awareness about pornography issues on campus.

More Than Just Abortion

By Gillian Morshedi | April 30, 2004

My two friends and I joked that among the reasons we were grateful for each other's company at the March for Women's Lives was our mutual understanding that we were allowed to complain about the discomfort of spending 24 out of 36 hours on a bus.
