To the Editor: Mr. Rago's hope in his editorial was to distinguish between "bad" Dartmouth students and "good" ones.
To the Editor: So, Dean Nelson, five or six "serious injuries" have occurred in the past decade as a result of the rope swing ("Swing's risks force removal," Aug.
I remember the first time that I climbed the slippery wooden ladder. I stood up there on that platform with quaking legs and a death grip on the rope.
On September 8, the Harvey Milk High School in New York City will begin educating 100 solely gay, bisexual, and transgender students who find the other city public schools too hostile.
The most important steps in moving forward in any context are to be aware of your surroundings and to embrace and motivate change.
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.
It seems like the obvious way to go at Dartmouth. When asked to think about what a typical Dartmouth student does after graduation, the image that my mind instantly conjures up is that of a young corporate recruit rapidly making his or her way towards Wall Street.
