Say No to Spam

By Robert Butts | May 7, 2003

The year: 1978. The place: Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital, one of the largest computer manufacturers of the industry's infancy, has just created its latest computer and is looking for buyers.

A More Important Point

By Jan Curtis | May 7, 2003

To the Editor: As the state climatologist for Wyoming, I couldn't help but offer my perspective pertaining to your May 5 article, "Profs stress interdisciplinary approach to global warming," in which Eileen Claussen, the president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, outlined five keys strategies to confronting climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

All the Free Newspapers

By Matt Soriano | May 6, 2003

The admissions office is playing something new this year. Their fresh crop of high school seniors are walking around campus with big hopes, wide eyes and white envelopes with 2007 printed on them (the envelopes, that is). And even though our average SAT math score was only 715, the current seniors can subtract and know that they won't be around to lead this class away from the administration's glorious vision of a Dartmouth that resembles Princeton in every possible way. So it behooves us to impart on those who follow us some of our cherished memories of rope swings, in-room food delivery and no smoothie bar in the waning days of our seniority.

Rationality, Anyone? Please?

By Dan Galemba | May 6, 2003

I write in response to Jon Eisenmann's piece "No Defense, No Excuse" in the May 5 issue of The Dartmouth and have just one question for him: do you appreciate your own irony? Eisenmann's emotionalization of feminism is, I'd guess, precisely what Kathleen Reeder was railing against in her column from Friday, May 2, when she vocalized the need for rational feminism -- feminism based on facts, on an understanding of the issues really facing women.

No Defense, No Excuse

By Jonathan Eisenman | May 5, 2003

Kathleen Reeder '03 wrote in May 2 column "Sex, Lies and Feminism" that "the failed feminist movement is feeding [young women] grossly inflated statistics and half-truths one in four college women has not been raped." A very good friend of mine once defaced his statistics book such that it was entitled "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics." Whether or not the one-in-four statistic or Reeder's refuting statistic (I assume she has one, although it was not in her opinion piece) are good examples of any of those three subsets of numbers, I am not qualified to say.

Hang Out to Dry

By Sam Stein | May 1, 2003

Attention all Democrats: please pardon Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, the third ranking Senator in the GOP, for his self-incriminating verbiage.

Their Labor, Our Products ... Our Responsibility

By Sally Newman | April 30, 2003

Fifteen cents an hour, 70 to 80 hours a week, no overtime pay, no benefits, no child care, a good beating if you don't like it and you only have to borrow around $4,000 to secure the position: horrendous human rights violation, or better than it could be? Sweatshops, as I've found in working on the Dartmouth Greens' tag-cutting project, are a touchy issue here, and many of us have seen too many heartstring-pullers like my opening sentence.

Reducing Your Impact

By Susan DuBois | April 30, 2003

You know you've been wondering why they were carrying their trash. Those thirty-something students and faculty doting shirts provoking you to "ask me why I am carrying my trash" with all of their accumulated waste attached to themselves.

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." Same ECO Rep: "Okay, just remember that I know where you live." So, the implied threat in the previous line is forcing me to write a "positive" article on environmental conservation.

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.
