Field of Dreams

By Brian Nick | January 7, 2003

Today is Jan. 7, 2003, a little early, one would guess, to start thinking about the November 2004 election.

Whose School Is This?

By Janos Marton | January 6, 2003

I love Dartmouth as much as anyone, but I've always been bothered by the great disparity between how much the College fawns over us and praises us as high school seniors, only to patronize us for the duration of our experience here.

An Alarming Trend

By Wally Morton | January 6, 2003

To the Editor: Collegiate swimming in the United States is under assault. When I started coaching at the collegiate level almost 30 years ago, there were over 350 Division I Men's Swimming programs.

A Financial Solution

By G. Whitcomb | January 6, 2003

To the Editor: I have read with regret the story of yet another swim program's demise. It is farcical that the administration at Dartmouth speciously attributes the "necessity" for this action to a lack of financial resource.

New Year's Resolutions 101

By Kabir Sehgal | January 6, 2003

Welcome back to the brand spanking new school term. Before we begin studying and renewing our Dartmouth life, let us look at something that is talked about this time of year -- that long lasting tradition we never seem to fulfill.

Losing Faith

By Brad Crispin | November 27, 2002

To the Editor: An open letter to President Wright: The only reason that I did not go to Harvard is I felt Dartmouth had something better to offer.

The Student Voice

By Miles Harrigan | November 27, 2002

I have to say that I am honestly appalled to see what our College administration has done now. Continuing its tradition of unilateral action with a lack of student input, the administration (mainly Dean of the College James Larimore, Director of Athletics and Recreation Joann Harper and her staff, with the tacit approval of Provost Barry Scherr, the chair of the College's budget committee and our President James Wright) has decided to cut the men's and women's varsity swimming and diving programs. A bit of background first.

Marketing Saddam Hussein

By Matt Soriano | November 26, 2002

Mr. Hussein! I just found out that you had an email account. Like all other Americans who fulfill our patriotic duty to shape foreign policy in terms of John Wayne movies, I had just assumed that that leather holster you wear holds some sort of large-caliber handgun.

Divestment Absurdity

By Alston Ramsay | November 26, 2002

The Dartmouth Editorial Board asserts Nov. 22 that the College's "broader social and moral obligations" should lead us to divest from tobacco companies because of "negative public health consequences." The absurdity of this argument begs criticism. First, who defines what constitutes "socially responsible" investing?

Hindering Modern Dance

By Mary Bell | November 26, 2002

To the Editor: After approximately 100 hours spent this fall term alone on plis, tendues, turns, leaps and jumps in the Straus dance studio, my calloused feet were prepared last Tuesday evening to perform the work which has consumed a large part of my term and my Dartmouth career.

"The Why" Behind the Slogan

By Ralph Davies | November 25, 2002

There has been some concern and confusion expressed to us over the past week regarding the signs we have posted throughout much of campus questioning Dartmouth spending habits.

The Other Soft Bigotry

By Chris Curran | November 25, 2002

There exists a consensus within America that it is wrong and racist to hold members of one race to a lower standard than those of another.

Opinion

The Week

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | November 22, 2002

Disappointing Delays This week, the House of Representatives voted to postpone the completion of the federal budget until next year, extending current funding levels until mid-January.

Opinion

Repeatedly Targeted

By Nicola Leiter | November 22, 2002

To the Editor: I am not going to write a long defense of the Greek system, both because I acknowledge it has some flaws and because, personally, I am getting sick of being called upon to do so on such a regular basis.

Opinion

Dinner with the Dean

By Sam Stein | November 22, 2002

Over the past two years there have been myriad constants at Dartmouth. For instance: DOC Trips will determine your first-year friendships, girl's fro-yo addiction will spread faster than most STDs, complaints will be made by various op-ed writers and dinners will be held every Tuesday night at Dean of the Tucker Foundation Stuart Lord's house.
