Adventuresome, Yet Safe

|

To the Editor: Regarding the April 11 article "Generaux recounts a life spent in pursuit of thrills" by Kelly Swartz, I wish to dispel any notions the article may convey that Mr. Genereaux's approach to the outdoors is representative of that of Dartmouth students.

Now's the Time...

|

OK, Mr. Bush, here's your chance. You have been in office for more than two years now, and have done absolutely nothing to promote peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.


Opinion

A Case for Action

|

When the United States Supreme Court rules this summer in a pair of cases filed against the University of Michigan, the verdict will likely be the most important decision on affirmative action in the last 25 years.


Opinion

The Jordan Legacy

|

So, he didn't make it after all. Michael Jordan failed to qualify for the NBA playoffs in what is (supposedly, at least) his last season as a basketball player.


Opinion

The Godfather

|

My friend's father owns and operates The Colonial Funeral Home right outside New Haven, Connecticut.

One More Thing

|

To the Editor: I loved Paul Marino's April 11 column "Berry Library." He forgot, however, its most annoying feature: the bizarre system of separate elevators for every part of the building, and Elevator One's doors (by the Info Desk), which creak and squeak every time they open and close, as if they were 40 years old.


Opinion

Considering Both Sides

|

To the Editor: My wife and I read with interest Professor Swayne's April 3 editorial "Tacit Intolerance," which offers a critical review of our new book, "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality." Professor Swayne calls for an open debate on the question of homosexuality -- a call that we wholly support.


Opinion

Shameful Contempt

|

To the Editor: I was angered to read Paul Marino's April 11 diatribe "Berry Library," particularly by the bit where he treats Mr. Berry with the utmost contempt. John Berry gave $25 million to the College to build a better library, and we should be grateful.


Opinion

Lively Satire, Dreary Change

|

To the Editor: Paul Marino rocks! His April 11 column was a great piece of satire. I worked in Sanborn Library, when it was a library, and now have to trudge through depressing Berry Library every day.


Opinion

Berry Library

|

Hasty construction, gray walls, wasted electronics and crappy sculptures. Such is the hallmark of the Berry Library.


Opinion

Chuckle with Conan

|

Do you like to laugh? I like to laugh. I think everyone likes to laugh. The problem is that the last few weeks I have not laughed much, and I suspect the whole world has not laughed much.


Opinion

Regarding the Veterans of Wars in the Gulf

|

I have been thinking heavily for many years about the effects of war on soldiers and what we must do to help. I knew a guy at Dartmouth who was a Gulf War veteran, an African American, a Native American, a very large, imposing young Republican.



Opinion

Post-Hussein Iraq

|

As we get closer now to the end of hostilities following the fall of Baghdad, we have to decide what the fate of post-Hussein Iraq will be.


Opinion

A Little-known Distinction

|

To the Editor: I'd like to draw your readership's attention to a significant distinction between The Native American Studies Program and the Native American Program at Dartmouth.
