Verbum Ultimum, Ultimum

By Barry Scherr, | April 19, 2004

To the Editor: In response to the Friday, April 16 editorial (The Dartmouth, "Verbum Ultimum"), I would like to remind the Editorial Board of The Dartmouth that during the 2001-02 academic year the Student Assembly had a very different outlook on the notion of a teaching and learning center.

Network Security: Cluck, Cluck Indeed

By John S. Leyba, | April 19, 2004

To the Editor: Daniel Ng's op-ed ("Network Failure, April 5) and Larry Levine's Letter to the Editor (April 15) both made excellent points regarding the importance of network redundancy and challenges of computer security at the College. The tragedy in Dartmouth's case has been the shift over the last decade from a mostly Macintosh campus to a mostly Windows PC campus, one that has led to a skyrocketing of support costs (wait, I thought PCs were supposed to be cheaper?!) and network issues generated by peer-to-peer clients, spy-ware, and Outlook-based worms and viruses that run through the campus network like they own it. Every PC I have seen in the last several years has had a bout with nimda, mydoom, code-red, code-blue, etc.

To the Editor: Your article, "From outside, Rodgers campaigns on change," (The Dartmouth, April 1) contains an error that needs to be corrected.

Polemic Academics?

By Michael C. Stephen | April 15, 2004

To the Editor: Professor Craig Steven Wilder's letter, "The Passion of the CEO: T.J. Rodgers' Crusade," (The Dartmouth, April 13) is a notable example of rhetorical flourish combined with artful non-sequiturs.

Hometown Troops in Iraq

By Jan Curtis | April 14, 2004

To the Editor: Each morning I scour the internet looking for news articles that may have been published on the Web in reference to Alabama's National Guard unit, 115th Signal Battalion, Florence, Alabama, which Jenn Buck's article discussed on April 12 ("In Iraq, war marked by endless contrasts.") My step-son, an officer and an 18-year veteran with the 115th Signal Battalion is currently serving with this unit in Mosul in northern Iraq.

How Does One Measure Success?

By Denise Anthony | April 13, 2004

To the Editor: No one would deny that the economics department at Dartmouth is outstanding (some of my good friends are economists!) or that it, like many others in the social sciences, is seriously understaffed, as described in a recent front page article (The Dartmouth, April 7). And certainly economics professor Blanchflower's claim in the article about the pure market value of an economics degree compared to a sociology degree is also largely correct.

The Passion of the CEO: T. J. Rodgers' Crusade

By Craig Steven Wilder | April 13, 2004

T. J. Rodgers' campaign for the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth deserves attention. It has certainly tickled the Wall Street Journal ("Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood," Review and Outlook, March 26), which cheekily described the attempt of the head of a billion-dollar corporation to sit on the board of a multi-billion-dollar college as "insurgent." Rodgers' platform promises to eliminate diversity objectives in admissions, to end diversity programming, and to liberate the student body from the servitude of political correctness.

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 9, 2004

At first glance, Dean of the College James Larimore's recent decision to consider allowing the movement of fraternity, sorority and coed rush to sophomore fall seemed a welcome and overdue departure from the policies the administration has pursued since the 1999 announcement of the Student Life Initiative.

Nice Try

By Adam Staffaroni | April 8, 2004

To the Editor: There are a lot of alumni, young and old, who are still extremely disappointed in the administration's handling of the library system and the swim team, and Mr. Scherr's spin doctoring will not cover up those failures.
