The Dartmouth Brand

|

To the Editor: While I agree with Mr. Rago that "The BlabberForce" is far from an ideal name, I must disagree strongly with the rest of his insulting and highly flawed letter.

We Need Nader

|

Step into this race and I will consume you--the fires of hell will scorch you years before they torch Ashcroft's rotting carcass, and I'll sit there with my now finally legal 40 of Olde English watching." ("Done With Nader," July, 29 2003) The students of Dartmouth College should expect a loftier degree of civil discourse than this from the president of their student government.

The Republican Response

Each of us in Dartmouth College Republicans, in our own favorite places on campus, picked up a copy of "The Dartmouth" this last Friday morning with joy and expectation.

At What Price, Long Distance?

|

To the Editor: In The Dartmouth's recent piece, "College Removes Long-Distance Fee," (July 7,2003) I was surprised to learn that long-distance service will be provided free of charge, "like it does internet service, electricity and other utilities."
