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.

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.

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.

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.

At All Costs

By Brian Nick | November 19, 2002

We are now two weeks removed from the midterm elections, and everyone in the political world is still trying to figure out what to do next.

Repressive Tolerance

By Chien Wen Kung | November 18, 2002

Popularity Politics

By Sam Stein | November 15, 2002

It was 1994, and I was sitting in the second tier of my high school's auditorium. I remember it distinctly because the whole event was so comical.

Overstepping One's Bounds

By Andrew Arthur Schmidt | November 14, 2002

To the Editor: The Nov. 6 article "Study: Slavery's effects lasted just 2 generations" explaining Professor Sacerdote's study on the ramifications of that institution could have been called, "Study: Racism caused free blacks to be as oppressed as former slaves in just 2 generations." Sacerdote, by attempting historical analysis, mocks his own profession.

Paying Respect

By Jonathan Hancock | November 14, 2002

To the Editor: As a grandchild of two World War II veterans, an American and a liberal, I was disheartened and embarrassed to see a poor turnout to the Veterans' Day service in a Tuck auditorium on Nov.

Donor Discrimination

By Haley Peckett | November 14, 2002

Donating blood is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to save a life. For those of us who do not want to go to medical school or who do not currently wish to part with our vital organs, we can simply attend a local blood drive for an hour a few times a year to renew someone's chance at life.

Opinion

A Political Process

By Benjamin Correa | November 13, 2002

To the Editor: I would like to respond to Tom White's letter in the Nov. 5 issue of The Dartmouth, criticizing the Editorial Board for endorsing Jeanne Shaheen based on her stance on abortion.

Opinion

Attention to Accuracy

By Daniel Ng | November 13, 2002

To the Editor: I refer to the Nov. 8 column by Sam Stein, "Times are Bleak," which cites evidence of a horrific future for humanity.

Opinion

Like Drunken Sailors

By Chris Curran | November 13, 2002

I could accuse the College of spending money like drunken sailors, but that wouldn't be fair to drunken sailors: they spend their own money.

Opinion

Simple Saving Steps

By Scott Holland | November 12, 2002

To the Editor: If the budget cutbacks at Dartmouth are so upsetting, perhaps the "Take a Professor to Lunch" program could meet at Lou's, Collis, the Hop or a dorm common room for take-out sandwiches.

Opinion

An Appropriate Sendoff

By Matt Soriano | November 12, 2002

I think that all good Republicans should take a moment from our busy schedules of oppressing minorities and women, fondling our concealed handguns and driving oversized sport utility vehicles over helpless woodland creatures to think of what was lost last Tuesday.
