Calvin's Epiphany and Student Assembly

By Noah Riner | November 24, 2003

One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes quotes is when Calvin says, "Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon ... everything's different."

Finding Community

By Sam Stein | November 21, 2003

Since President Bush and Co. recently announced that they were turning over to Iraqis increased security and governing responsibility , there have been several ominous developments that have deepened my anxiety over this Iraq calamity (for lack of a more objective term). To begin with, amid a wave of anti-American attacks the enigmatic Trent Lott dropped this little sound bite: "Honestly, it's a little tougher than I thought it was going to be [in reference to Iraq]." Then he added, "If we have to, we just mow the whole place down and see what happens." Holy crap!

Remembering DuBois

By Steven Swayne | November 20, 2003

Anniversaries do not always neatly coincide with history, but invocations of the past often have much to say about the realities of the present. These thoughts came to mind as I was reading David Levering Lewis's biography of W.E.B.

What Would Help?

By William Joseph Mode | November 20, 2003

To the Editor: Well, what can a ninth-generation Southerner say? I can say thank you for those who were trying to make a point on your campus that it isn't right to stereotype Southerners.

A Bold Idea

By Robert Shireman | November 18, 2003

Ten thousand dollars a year for college. It sounds like one of those campaign promises that are good on the stump but too expensive once the candidate is elected.

Clarifying the Flag

By Larry Bradley | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Your Nov. 13 article "Students call Dean posters a hoax" on the Confederate Flag has the same mistake as nearly all of the news media.

Proud Heritage

By George B. Williams | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: In reference to your story on Generation Dean and the Confederate Flag, many Southerners are also offended by the way that the Confederate Flag is used in this political debate. My great grandfather bravely served the Confederacy, as did his two brothers and his son.

Don't Judge a Book...

By Tom Teagle | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: I am a Southerner. I drive an old Chevy pickup truck complete with a gun rack and large Confederate battle flag decal.

What Better Symbol...

By Robert H. Nutt | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Regarding the discussions about a new symbol and nickname for the College's teams, I am old-school enough to believe that, polls aside, no moose is good moose.

A New Look at an Old Symbol

By Linda Moore | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: After being offended by Dean (and also being told by Dean how I should vote), I find great humor in the flag posters. In the South we do not consider the Confederate flag to be related totally to slavery.

Dean's Gun Control Policy

By Jim Stell | November 17, 2003

To the Editor: Many have accused Dean of dishonestly forming a gun control policy which would not offend the majority of the American population -- who favor federal gun control -- while still appealing to New Hampshire and Iowa voters, who prefer state regulation. Please show me statistics that state that most New Hampshire and Iowa voters favor state gun control.
