Love, Actually

By Welton Chang | March 5, 2004

The unity of the human experience through all time is now encapsulated by the four-letter concept called "love." What is love?

A Just Wall

By David Kerem | March 4, 2004

Imran Sharih '04 should be lauded for his thoughtful and astute analysis of the obstacles posed by Israel's decision to erect a West Bank security fence (The Dartmouth, March 2). However, in passionately articulating his contentions, Sharih frequently overlooks and -- in some instances -- entirely fails to account for the complicating interplay of law, politics and history that surround the wall's construction. From the outset, Sharih's assertion that the "security barrier is about people" and "political reality" falls flat.

Vox Clamantis

By Harry Huberty | March 4, 2004

To The Editors: I just finished reading Torivio Fodder and Bruce Gago's "In Defense of Marriage" (The Dartmouth, March 1), and I feel compelled to speak out against its hypocrisy.

Vermont and the Real Dean

By Andrew Hanauer | March 4, 2004

The voters of the Democratic presidential primaries consist of three groups of people: those who really know Howard Dean, those who know Howard Dean through the media and those who want you to know the Howard Dean of their creation. Those who know Howard Dean the best sent him to a resounding victory in his home state on Tuesday, despite the fact that he dropped out of the race two weeks earlier.

A Marriage of Logic and Reason

By Jonathan Eisenman | March 3, 2004

In Monday's paper, Torivio Fodder '05 and Bruce Gago '05 bemoan The D's "intolerance for socially conservative positions." I believe I will be making an obvious editorial correction by amending their statement to read "[The Dartmouth's] intolerance for morally and logically indefensible positions." The guilelessness exuded by the remark "these conclusions seem so strangely intolerant" is a good preface to the willful naivete of the arguments to follow. Fodder and Gago first argue that marriage between one man and one woman is one of the "fundamentals of human society, found, since times long past, in societies from ancient Mongolia to West Africa.

The Oscars -- Enjoy or Shut Up

By Tommy Dickie | March 3, 2004

Every year, I see the Oscars as one big experiment for psychological observation. When the awards ceremony comes to a close, I take note on how people respond, and then I look back on the season and learn some new things about how our silly little minds work.

English Professor by Day -- Computer Whiz by Night

By Tim Carpenter | March 2, 2004

To the Editors: The more things change, the more they stay the same. Having grown into somewhat of a skeptic after my years in Hanover, it humors me to no end that the College has chosen to take an issue that is very clear in its needs and resolutions and politicize/bureaucratize it.

A Barrier to Peace

By Imran Sharih | March 2, 2004

Over the past week, the world has been captivated by a novel legal controversy: the challenge to Israel's proposed security wall in the chambers of the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Read Us Our Rights

By Abraham Clayman | March 1, 2004

To the Editors: It's great that a student institution on campus took the lead and created a program where students could get their questions about Dartmouth and the town's alcohol policies answered by the police and Safety and Security.

It's Not All About Race

By James Hunt | March 1, 2004

To the Editors: Echo Brown '06 writes that minorities "who feel that their rights are being systematically undermined by discrimination are less likely to respect and obey the laws of the criminal justice system." Does that explain why on October 16, 2002, a then-21-year-old African American man murdered an African American couple and their five children by setting fire to their rowhouse in Baltimore, a city where many of the principals in the criminal justice system are African American? Of course it doesn't.

In Defense of Marriage

By Torivio Fodder | March 1, 2004

In reading the Dartmouth Editorial Board's Verbum Ultimum (The Dartmouth, Feb. 20), we were disturbed to see an overt display of intolerance for socially conservative positions -- specifically, the issue of gay marriage.

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 27, 2004

In a promising step away from the slippery slope of government-funded religious education, a decisive seven Supreme Court justices have voted to allow states to withhold scholarship money from students enrolled in religious training.

As a former undergraduate and current Ph.D candidate in the computer science department here at Dartmouth, I have a long and happy relationship with BlitzMail.

A Perspective on Haiti

By Sam Stein | February 26, 2004

As I stepped outside of the moldy airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a proverbial deluge of poverty-stricken children mobbed me and my family.
