'Earth on Empty' is Full of Something Else

It's a tribute to Dartmouth's draconian park ing enforcement policies that the anti-SUV "parking tickets" that appear every so often in A-Lot strike fear into us environmental criminals. The first few that I found were cleverly printed on paper (recycled, hopefully) the same shade as Parking Operations' violation forms.

Election 2000 Revisited

Two years ago, after public fury over the"election" that gave George W. Bush the presidency reached a frenzy, it was almost certain that the 2002 elections would be the perfect opportunity for the millions of voters who did not vote for Bush to exact their revenge.

Dealing With Dictators

While it's a stretch to state that any good can come from North Korea's recent revelation that it possesses a nuclear bomb, at least Pyongyang's surprise announcement of nuclear prowess serves to drive home an important geopolitical point: governments -- especially those of the backward, autocratic persuasion -- lie.

In Support of the Symposium

To the Editor: Upon reading " '03s curtail Sr. Symposium," (Oct. 22) I was disappointed. Contrary to the opinion of the class Vice President, John Robinson '03, I see nothing wrong with the goals of the Symposium being a bit lofty.

Offensive Remarks

|

To the Editor: We are writing in response to Matt Soriano's Oct. 23 column "Dumb Yourself Down." This piece came to our attention not because we happened across it ourselves, but because one of our mothers telephoned to ask if it was intended as a joke. In various columns this term we've seen the good, the bad and now the ugly sides of corporate recruiting.

Time to Restructure A critical flaw in Dartmouth Dining Services is apparent to students as soon as they are given a choice of meal plans -- when they are confronted with a fine, disguised as a "service charge," for selecting the smallest plan.

So you've made it this far. You're at Dartmouth. Ivy League and all that.

Dumb Yourself Down

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.

Just the Facts? Please...

|

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.
