Commercials that Don't Add Up

Watching the Super Bowl on Sunday made me realize two things: One, God makes up for his hatred of the Red Sox by doing everything in His power to make sure the Patriots win.

Cabins and Trails

|

There is a trail that goes north into the woods just behind the Hanover Food Co-op. It takes seven minutes to walk there from the Green and about 30 minutes to get to a lookout point from the sign at the trailhead.

Just Like High School...

|

To the Editors, At our local high school, some teachers are interested in spending lots of their time monitoring how many girls have exactly how much midriff exposed, and "writing up" those who "violate" stated policy. Does the College want to likewise convert more and more of the scarce resources of campus Safety & Security personnel to "writing up" alcohol "violations"? Is this really the most valuable way for them to contribute to student well-being?

More Secular Than You Think

|

I am a senior at Loyola College in Maryland, and I recently became aware of the controversy surrounding the stained glass windows at your college's Rollins Chapel, through my boyfriend who is a member of Dartmouth's senior class.

Diversity's Educational Value

My former roommate, Brandon Ecoffey '06, is a Lakota Indian from Pine Ridge, S. D. His close friend, Skyler White Temple, belongs to the comparable Dakota religion and grew up on a similar reservation in North Dakota.

Understanding Jerusalem

Ever since the start of the second intifada and its violence, American universities have clamored to pull the plug on foreign study programs to Jerusalem and Israel.

Polarizing Carcasses

|

To the Editors, In response to Bruce Gago's letter to the editor (The Dartmouth, Jan. 22), I want to clarify that the Studio Art Department oversees the five exhibition spaces in the Hopkins Center.

Please, Edsforth, Don't go

To the Editors, In the fall, I arrived at Dartmouth a freshman -- filled with the hope of finding a stimulating, exciting, intellectual atmosphere.

One Brother's Plea

|

The increased scrutiny and rash of punishments handed down to fraternities and sororities in recent months can be called nothing if not frustrating.


Opinion

Personal Isn't the Point

|

In the aftermath of the recent State of the Union address, I was left wondering one thing: Does our president live in the same world as everyone else in the United States?



Opinion

Don't Bash Bush

|

Fascist. Imperialist. War-monger. Idiot. These are just a few of the nicer terms I have heard repeatedly here at Dartmouth to describe our President, George W.



Opinion

Edwards For Vice President

|

To the Editor: On a number of occasions I've heard that Dartmouth is "Dean Country," and it is refreshing to see that The Dartmouth has endorsed Senator John Edwards for President.



Opinion

At Least They Didn't Go to Harvard

|

To the Editor: In your whole-hearted endorsement of John Edwards (The Dartmouth, Jan. 26), your editorial staff made the comment, "What a refreshing contrast to Bush and his three fellow Yalie opponents." I did not know the editorial staff of an Ivy League college newspaper felt that going to an Ivy League school was a bad thing or made one more desirable in a presidential election.


Opinion

Every Person Counts

|

The recent debate on campus, Every Woman Counts, gave the Democratic candidates an opportunity to address "women's issues." Although it was a worthwhile endeavor, the debate failed to acknowledge the end goal we should all have in mind when discussing women and politics in the United States today: the gender equity that would render debates like this wholly unnecessary.
