An 'Invader' Responds

By Darlene Alexander | May 9, 2002

To the Editor: As one of those parents who "invaded" Dartmouth during freshman weekend, I just had to respond to Ryan Tan's "Family-less in Hanover" (The Dartmouth, April 30, 2002). If my presence on campus gave students a reason to "clean their room and use air freshener," I wonder what motivates those nasty habits like clean underwear, brushing your teeth and, heaven forbid, going so far as to use deodorant?

On Offensive Expression

By Matthew Tokson | May 9, 2002

To the Editor: In his letter to the editor on May 3, "A Misunderstanding," Jon Hollander '03 compares a "Dartmouth Indian" T-shirt with a T-shirt reading "World Trade Center victims got what they deserved" to show that wearing either of the shirts "victimizes those who have suffered." Thus, he says, the debate is not about speech, because wearing either of these T-shirts is, though legal, morally abhorrent.

Week after week I try to write about issues of national or even global importance. Today I will attempt to outdo myself and write a column of intergalactic proportions A not-so-long time ago, in a town not so far away, a "Star Wars" fan was born.

Defending Our Rights

By Susan DuBois | May 7, 2002

As a young idealistic student, I've heard and been told not only that activism is useless and in vain and that true civics is a concept from the past, but that today's students are also apathetic.

By Brian Johnston | May 6, 2002

Fixing Ivy Athletics

By Zachary Podolsky | May 6, 2002

To the Editor: In response to the May 2 article in The Dartmouth "Ivy League Reconsiders Role of Athletics in Admissions," it is often forgotten, in the ongoing debate on Ivy League campuses about athletics in admissions, that athletics are the only pursuits in which the Ivy League schools are flat-out mediocre.

The Rites of Spring

By Matt Soriano | May 6, 2002

It seems that this year, God is on the side of the admissions office. He gave them two or three weeks of sultry weather right at the time when admitted students were investigating whether, in Hanover, wet hair really would freeze on your head on the way to class.
