"I" Requirement should have been eliminated much earlier
To the Editor: I was very glad to read that the college has decided to abandon the "I" requirement.

To the Editor: The statistics quoted in "SA, College Discuss Printing Fees" (July 9, 2003) may shock some readers, but not me.
To the Editor: The Sehgal piece about "branding" a college or university makes some interesting arguments, but just how is such "branding" achieved?
To the Editor: I have been an observer of Dartmouth for many years professionally and now unprofessionally with my son looking at schools.
Recently, the College decided that a system needs to be put in place in which students will be charged for public printing.
In the last few weeks, I've read with mild amusement a series of editorials claiming that Dartmouth needs to "brand" its name so that it will have the same verbal resonance as Harvard, Princeton and Yale.
For a great many people in this world, their story begins here in this small strip of land on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, named at times, Israel, Palestine, Canaan ... This is the story and the history that is closest to the hearts of their fathers and mothers, and of their grandfathers' grandfathers.
Harvard hates America." That's the title of a book that came out about two decades ago to describe how the academic elites of the Ivy League had turned against this country and its system of values.
It's an embarrassing mix of anger, humility and frustration. It's a situation we Dartmouth students experience countless times during our interims and off terms.
The United States reserves the right to use military force against Iran," says Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.
As the Dartmouth Community mulls over possibly changing its mascot from the oh-so vague "Big Green" to the Dartmouth Moose, a more fitting description should be chosen.

A Baby Step -- But in What Direction?
To the Editor: I just read Kabir Sehgal's June 23 column entitled "On Dartmouth Branding, Part II" and was astounded by his misinformed view of how the Tuck School of Business is perceived by the world outside of Hanover. Perhaps Sehgal would benefit from leaving the Upper Valley, where he would see Tuck regarded as one of the pre-eminent schools for business management -- yes, even equivalent to those more "branded" competitors like Harvard and Wharton. Tuck's reputation thrives precisely because it has found the competitive niche that Sehgal finds wanting at "Seinfeld U." Tuck has an unrivaled ability to turn out decent, bright, team-oriented graduates who often outperform their Harvard and Wharton peers by being -- surprise -- fun to work with.
