Random Thoughts on Me as a Conservationist

By Adil Ahmad | April 29, 2003

Me: "I am writing an article on environmental conservation at Dartmouth." An ECO Rep: "Is it a negative or positive article?" Me: "It's pretty positive."

By Morgan Brown | April 28, 2003

To the Editor: In regards to Zachary Goldstein and Lindsey Pryor's comments in the April 24 news story "Blitz war draws fire from network services," I found their remarks rather harshly judgmental.

Students First?

By Adil Ahmad | April 28, 2003

To the Editor: Mr. Campbell, in his April 25 letter "Wrong Focus? Wrong Attitude," has again turned the attention from student housing to employee housing.

Thinking Beyond the College

By Ben Bollinger | April 28, 2003

By Kabir Sehgal | April 28, 2003

Before applying Dartmouth, if someone told you that your college essay, on which you had worked so diligently, would be the reason Dartmouth would deny you, would you revise your essay to preach to the Dartmouth admissions committee?

Clarifying an Analogy

By Michael Weiss | April 25, 2003

To the Editor: In his April 22 column "Why War? Why Not?" Ethan Richards wrote "In his rush to pinpoint the shortcomings of standard liberal arguments, Mr. Weiss ironically forgets to look for areas where he might find the opportunity to criticize himself." There's nothing ironic about that, but there is something hypocritical.

Wrong Focus? Wrong Attitude

By Audrey Campbell | April 25, 2003

To the Editor: The attitude displayed by the self-important April 24 letter "The Wrong Focus" by Chris Moscato saddens me, as it is indicative of the attitude that alienates Dartmouth students from the community.

Berry Very Good

By Daniel Ng | April 24, 2003

Berry Library invites a narrow range of comments from students. Words like "functional" and "sanitized" tend to dominate.

A Case of Contradiction?

By Judd Serrota | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: Andrew Hanauer's April 17 column "Now Is the Time" relating to the Bush administration's supposed lack of action on the Israel-Palestinian issue is at once nonsensical and contradictory. It is contradictory in its description of Yasser Arafat.

A Courageous Outcry

By Bruce Baker | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: Daniel Kay's April 18 column "Discrimination, Not Diversity" is an exceptionally well written, logical exposition of a very divisive and difficult social problem.

Opinion

The Wrong Focus

By Chris Moscato | April 24, 2003

To the Editor: In regards to the April 18 news story "Town may donate land for housing," I am really angry that there is talk about housing for employees, and that it gets coverage in the College papers, when student housing is never addressed any more. I think this should be a rally cause that students take up and address with the administration with drive.

Twenty Pounds of Headlines

By Jon Schroeder | April 23, 2003

This is a typical example of one song that your, uh, English music newspapers would call a drug song: " I go, I don't, uh, I don't write druuuggg songs " (slurring words), "You know like I never have, I wouldn't know how to go about it, but this is not a drug song [crowd claps]. I'm not saying it for any kind of defensive reason or anything like that.
