Why Sen. Edwards is the Answer

By Elisabeth Smith | October 14, 2003

With the primaries on the horizon and unfavorable foreign and domestic developments damaging the credibility of the current administration, what previously seemed like a slam-dunk re-election for President Bush is turning into one of the most energized and volatile political seasons seen in years.

By Hrishikesh Desai | October 14, 2003

Chechnya's Flawed Approach to Freedom

By Ilya Feoktistov | October 13, 2003

After nearly 50 years of seeing Russians as the enemies, most ill-informed Americans old enough to remember the Soviet Union have ingrained a variety of negative stereotypes about the residents of the former "Empire of Evil." Supposedly, the Russians "care more about vodka than human life." Supposedly, they are "gruesome." Supposedly they like "to use their most advanced weapons to bring hell" to places out of "sheer hatred." A recent editorial in The Dartmouth, titled "Chechnya " The Forgotten War," by Adil Ahmad tried to invoke all these stereotypes in order to malign Russia for exercising its legitimate right to self defense and territorial integrity.

The Dartmouth Moose? Really?

By Michael Reeves | October 13, 2003

The Moose is an inadequate mascot, and the process that led to its emergence as the Student Assembly's choice to replace the Big Green exemplifies democracy misused and gone awry.

College for Everyone

By Senator John Edwards | October 10, 2003

As millions of college students return to campuses this fall, they face a hard reality: Their tuitions are skyrocketing. Struggling with a sluggish economy and staggering budget deficits, states are shifting more of the costs of higher education onto students.

Whose Town is it, Anyway?

By Daniel Ng | October 10, 2003

Power of the People

By Tanisha Keshava | October 8, 2003

The air is getting chilly, the days are getting shorter and the leaves are changing colors. As you walk around campus on yet another bright, crisp morning, the vibrant red and orange of the leaves all announce the same thing -- fall is finally here.

Tupac -- Still Rapping

By Michael Sarinsky | October 7, 2003

When I first learned that Tupac Shakur had been shot to death in a drive-by shooting in September of 1996, my immediate reaction was one of shock, terror and disappointment: "What kind of name is Tupac?" I wondered.

A Community Gone Awry

By Dan Knecht | October 7, 2003

A week ago, I opened up my local newspaper's sports section and stumbled upon an article discussing the cancellation of a local high school's football team.

Love of the Sox

By Peter Brewitt | October 6, 2003

It happens every year. The winter drags on, snow piles up, the wind whips down from the Arctic, and it seems that February will never end.

The Last Mile

By Kabir Sehgal | October 3, 2003

Dot com, dot gone. The internet was once the talk of the town, B2B this, and e-commerce that. It was a grand story -- millions of people learning new technologies, "making" money, but there wasn't a fairy tale ending: most left the internet bubble jobless and even hopeless.

Abusing the System?

By Richard Jay Nussbaum | October 2, 2003

To the Editor: In his Sept. 30 column, "Total Recall," Andrew Hanauer '04 provides the best synopsis that I have seen to date of the charade that is currently occurring here in California. Unfortunately, unlike Mr. Hanauer, I feel that a large portion of Californians are awed by Arnold's celebrity status, and have not taken the time to see that there are roughly 134 more qualified candidates on the recall ballot (there are 135 total as of last count). Arnold has repeatedly declined to debate the issues, with the exception of one debate where the questions were given to the candidates beforehand.
