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.

Opinion

"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.

Opinion

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.

Opinion

Residents By Definition

By Tim Razel | November 21, 2002

To the Editor: I am writing to respond to Brian Nick's Nov. 19 column "At All Costs." I want to take issue with an assertion Mr. Nick made.

Opinion

Governor Who?

By Kabir Sehgal | November 21, 2002

The elections are over. Now we can breathe, but please do not take too deep a breath. The gusty political whirlwind is about to start anew.

Opinion

An Unreasonable Request

By Tim Rich | November 21, 2002

To the Editor: In Pamela Hairston's Nov. 13 letter to The Dartmouth ("Overdue Reparations") she failed to mention that so-called "white" America has provided countless benefits to African-Americans through programs such as affirmative action, welfare and special scholarship programs.

Opinion

Legitimate Criticism

By Brian Burgess | November 21, 2002

To the Editor: In response to Kenan Yount's Nov. 19 column, "A Misguided Battle," regarding the ongoing controversy of Augusta National's membership guidelines, I have to say that while I certainly sympathize with a great deal of his position, I think his basic argument is flawed.

Opinion

Staying Small

By Ryan Carey | November 20, 2002

Alumni, students, faculty and administrators should take a second look at John Strayer's Nov. 6 letter, "Fundamental Questions." In it, Strayer questions the ability of the College to maintain itself as the premier liberal arts institution in the nation while simultaneously attempting to become a better research institution.

Opinion

A Misguided Battle

By Kenan Yount | November 19, 2002

After getting a good laugh out of Friday's editorial cartoon in The Dartmouth, I realized that little has been said in our paper about the controversy over the membership policies of the Augusta National Golf Club.
