Clarifying the Flag

By Larry Bradley | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Your Nov. 13 article "Students call Dean posters a hoax" on the Confederate Flag has the same mistake as nearly all of the news media.

Opinion

Proud Heritage

By George B. Williams | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: In reference to your story on Generation Dean and the Confederate Flag, many Southerners are also offended by the way that the Confederate Flag is used in this political debate. My great grandfather bravely served the Confederacy, as did his two brothers and his son.

Don't Judge a Book...

By Tom Teagle | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: I am a Southerner. I drive an old Chevy pickup truck complete with a gun rack and large Confederate battle flag decal.

What Better Symbol...

By Robert H. Nutt | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Regarding the discussions about a new symbol and nickname for the College's teams, I am old-school enough to believe that, polls aside, no moose is good moose.

A New Look at an Old Symbol

By Linda Moore | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: After being offended by Dean (and also being told by Dean how I should vote), I find great humor in the flag posters. In the South we do not consider the Confederate flag to be related totally to slavery.

Dean's Gun Control Policy

By Jim Stell | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Many have accused Dean of dishonestly forming a gun control policy which would not offend the majority of the American population -- who favor federal gun control -- while still appealing to New Hampshire and Iowa voters, who prefer state regulation. Please show me statistics that state that most New Hampshire and Iowa voters favor state gun control.

The Right Solution

By Richard R. Crocker | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's attempt to retain his monument to the Ten Commandments in the lobby of the state judicial building has rightly been rejected.

An Apology to the Community

By Caz Liske | November 14, 2003

To the Editor: The skit that the freshmen Aires wrote and presented at Alphi Xi on Wednesday night has hurt and offended members of the Dartmouth community.

On Strict Interpretations

By David Velleman | November 14, 2003

To the Editor: In regard to the Nov. 13 letter to the editor " 'Reasonable?' Gun Control?" by Mr. Rouzer against the idea of gun control on the basis of the wording of the Second Amendment, I urge him to read the Constitution. Specifically, I would point him to the First Amendment, which states very clearly that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." etc.

Hit 'em Where it Counts

By Edmond L. Day | November 14, 2003

To the Editor: When are candidates for the Democratic Party nomination for president in 2004 going to start to talk about the make-or-break issues?

Opinion

Smear with Care

By Robert Butts | November 13, 2003

Larry Flynt likes to portray himself as an activist. After all, in 1988 he won a landmark court case that affirmed First Amendment protection for pornography.

"Reasonable?" Gun Control?

By George Rouzer | November 13, 2003

To the Editor: I wonder how many of those proponents of "reasonable" gun control laws have read the Constitution or the clear wording of the Second Amendment.

Defending TCU

By Jason Carter | November 13, 2003

To the Editor: As a TCU alumnus ('97), we Frog fans have become accustomed to the ridicule and condescension of fans of teams from BCS conferences, but I think animosity from the Ivy League, (regarding Adam Small's Nov.

On U.K. Schools

By Nigel D'souza | November 12, 2003

To the Editor: In reference to the Nov. 10 article on U.K. students "U.K. students navigate culture shock," I would agree that class consciousness is greater in the U.K.

Opinion

Lighten Up!

By David Wolkoff | November 12, 2003

To the Editor: I would like to respond to the recent condemnation of Keggy in the Nov. 10 letter "On 'Keggy.'" It seems to me that the majority of the student body loves Keggy (as is evident from them chanting his name every time he appears at an athletic event). Dartmouth is a college, not a corporation.

How to Win Iraq

By John McCain | November 11, 2003

Iraq is not Vietnam. There is no popular, anti-colonial insurgency in Iraq. Our opponents, who number only in the thousands in a country of 23 million, are despised by the vast majority of Iraqis.
