Dummies for I-Banking

By James Moody | October 24, 2002

So you've made it this far. You're at Dartmouth. Ivy League and all that. No matter what else happens you can hang that attractive diploma on the wall of your car dealership or potato farm or whatever, and people will look at it and say, "I can't read a damn thing on that sheepskin, that guy must be smart.

Dumb Yourself Down

By Matt Soriano | October 23, 2002

Thanks to the Sept. 11 recession, those of us with the intestinal fortitude to look for jobs are now being confronted with recruiters who got into the job market in the blissful late 1990's, when executives seemed to earn their spectacular pay packages, "The Simpsons" was witty and creative and federal agents didn't have the right to cavity-search you at the airport.

Old Enemy, New Friend?

By Daniel Knecht | October 23, 2002

It's about time that America makes a whole hearted attempt to establish ties with North Korea. This country, shrouded in mystery, fear and confusion, is one of Marx's last bastions of hope.

Just the Facts? Please...

By Timothy Carpenter | October 22, 2002

To the Editor: Professor Ronald Edsforth raises some very valid points in his Oct. 10 letter to The Dartmouth "Just the Facts, Please." Most notably and simply that his examples "raise doubts about the correctness of the 'strong support' generalization she [reporter Jessica Spradling] used to frame her own story." That being said, I believe the he commits precisely the same offense he criticizes the article for -- the evidence he provides grossly fails to support the conclusions he makes. Edsforth states "Clearly facts like these indicate that public support for the administration is actually quite weak." However the facts he refers to are focused entirely on the Iraq issue.

A Fly On the Wall

By Brian Nick | October 22, 2002

What do Democrats say to each other to psych themselves up 18 days before an election? This was the question I had as I prepared for my first political fundraiser of 2002 last Friday, the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner held by the New Hampshire Democratic Party in Manchester every fall.

A Poor Decision

By Michele Nudelman | October 21, 2002

To the Editor: The unfortunate occurrence of anti-Semitic incidents on this campus is a compelling reason to sign the petition against anti-Semitism.

Preserving What Matters

By Allen Fromherz | October 21, 2002

To the Editor: As an alumus and a member of the Friends of the Library executive board, I urge all alumni to make their views known on the elimination of Sanborn . Alumni who contribute to the "Friends of the Library" have a special interest in preserving the uniqueness of Dartmouth's library system, often contributing large sums of money for this purpose.

A Call for Moderation

By John Buckholz | October 21, 2002

To the Editor: Among the disturbing implications in Ana Catalano's Oct. 17 editorial, "Feminism: A Call for Revival," is the suggestion that the need for a female president is so great that voters should consider this criterium at the exclusion others. Hillary Clinton may well run in 2008, but it is the educated voter's mandate to evaluate her (dismal) track record ahead of her gender.

The Week

By Dartmouth Editorial Board | October 18, 2002

Much-Needed Cooperation Acting on international pressure for the first time since talk of war with Iraq began in earnest, the Bush administration relaxed its stance yesterday on the use of force in a United Nations resolution on Iraq.

Save the Tradition

By Nedra Keenan | October 18, 2002

To the Editor: Regarding The Dartmouth's Oct. 16 article "Lucier outlines library cuts," I'm concerned that Dartmouth plans to close Sanborn as a library.

Feminism: A Call for Revival

By Ana Catalano | October 17, 2002

Oh, God. Are you one of those types? One of those ... feminist Nazis?" This statement, postulated by a dismayed-looking friend of mine upon hearing the subject of this column, probably captures many students' reaction to the word "feminism." It's true; feminism is now thought of as "passe." After some women's overzealous actions in the name of feminism, it's understandable that doubt -- even a reticent eye-rolling -- should meet the enthusiastic preacher of women's rights.

The Anatomy of Sketchy

All's fair in love and war, and man, it's a jungle out there. We come across challenges and ugly situations every day, and being nice won't get us very far.

Where the Heart Is

Home is where the heart is, or so the old adage goes. Strangely, I've thought a lot more about home this fall as compared to my very first fall in Hanover.

Clear and Present Danger

By Matthew Raymer | October 16, 2002

In light of the one-sided exposure given to the Greens' activism against action in Iraq, allow me to argue in favor of the view held by the vast majority of Americans, both Republican and Democrat: that failure to remove Saddam will spell consequences too horrible to imagine here at home. A nuclear Iraq is a scenario we have long feared but neglected to prevent.

Expand the Definition

By Adil W. Ahmad | October 16, 2002

To the Editor: Apropos "Wright won't sign tolerance petition" (The Dartmouth, Oct. 8), I would like to clarify the stance of Al-Nur, Muslim Student Association at Dartmouth College, and my own personal viewpoint on the recent "intimidation-free" campuses petition initiated by James Freedman, former President of Dartmouth College. Al-Nur supports human rights, justice, free speech and anti-discrimination efforts in forms that encourage a better understanding of the differences between the various communities and religions.
