The Oscars -- Enjoy or Shut Up

|

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

|

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

|

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

|

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.


Opinion

It's Not All About Race

|

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.

A Perspective on Haiti

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.

Recycling is Not a Waste

|

This past Friday marked the end of the first two weeks of Recycle Mania -- a friendly competition between 17 top American universities' recycling programs -- that challenges each school to see who can collect the largest amount of recyclables from residence halls, on-campus apartments and dining halls in 10 weeks.

Don't Hesitate to Ask

To the Editors: We love working with students! In Grace Chua's great article, "Despite internet's rise, librarians still occupied" (The Dartmouth, Feb.

BlitzMail Should Not Go

|

To the Editor, I have a few comments to make about Tuesday's article about the future of BlitzMail (The Dartmouth, Feb 24). Dr. Luxon says that lack of HTML mail is a key shortcoming in BlitzMail and a reason to abandon it.

Another Sort of Myth

To the Editors: Amie Sugarman's valiant attempt at debunking what she refers to as the "safety myth" (The Dartmouth, Feb.

Unequal Justice

|

For as long as I can remember, I have distrusted the American criminal justice system. The inability of the system to properly administer equal justice to all American citizens has fostered my skepticism.
