A Statement Made

By Jessica Goldberg | May 22, 2002

To the Editor: It has been published on May 15 ("Hillel votes to take pro-Israel stance") that I voted against Hillel's advertisement in The Dartmouth: "Wherever we stand, we stand with Israel." Those who know me will know the following to be true: wherever my feet may stand, my sentiments stand wholly for Israel, for its right to exist peacefully, for its continuance as the homeland of the Jewish people, for its beauty as a nation both in spirit and in aesthetic.

On Homosexual Rights

By Steven Lulich | May 22, 2002

To the Editor: Chris Curran '03 makes the case in his May 20 Op-Ed titled "The Right Thing for the Right Wing" that President Bush in particular, and the Republican party in general, should become more accepting and protective of homosexuals.

Embracing Compromise

By Margaret Liu | May 22, 2002

To the Editor: I was extremely disheartened to read the May 15 article "Hillel votes to take pro-Israel stance." For the Jewish population, at least as represented on this campus, to take such an intolerant view is indicative of why the larger conflict remains unresolved. "Wherever we stand, we stand with Israel" is not a statement against peace but it is a statement that inhibits it.

Sources of Dissent

By The Dartmouth | May 22, 2002

By Mohamad Bydon '01 To the Editor: I want to commend David Kerem '05 for his well-written piece "Hedging Our Bets." At the same time, I want to point out that much of the information he uses to discredit Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges comes from HonestReporting.com and CAMERA, two admittedly pro-Israel media watchdogs.

What if Dartmouth Hall were in Tel Aviv?

By Michael Mello | May 22, 2002

About halfway through Christopher Hedges' lecture last week at Dartmouth Hall -- somewhere around the time he compared the Palestinians of today with the slaves of the antebellum American South, which is to say after he accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" (his phrase) but before he compared Israel's policies to South Africa during apartheid and after he characterized Israel's creation as a "crime" and the state itself "racist" -- a horrible thought popped uninvited into my head.

One Last Jab

Apparently I'm as clueless as an embarrassed adolescent, a child who hasn't yet realized the world around her.

Bad Politics

By Brian Nick | May 21, 2002

It was just too good to last. The civil dialogue on the war against terrorism we had in this country for the past eight months has all but disintegrated, and both sides are to blame.

Asininity

By Nathaniel Paull | May 20, 2002

Complying with popular culture's media demands for carnal indulgence over content, People Magazine recently announced the 50 Most Beautiful People for this year, once again proving that for most people, articles with even allusions to sex really are more interesting than discussions of the major players during international crises. For the 19th year in a row I wasn't listed.

In Defense of Darryl Caterine

By Ana Bonnheim | May 16, 2002

Katie Bell's May 10 article "Profs. allow students to set their own grades," presents professor Darryl Caterine's pedagogical methods in an inaccurate light. Ms. Bell suggests that Caterine is an unusual professor, because in his dissatisfaction with Dartmouth's grading system, he allows students to evaluate themselves.

All the News That's Fit to Blog

By Jon Schroeder | May 16, 2002

If you're holding this column in your hands, the words you are reading are already dead. And when I say dead, I mean there's a salad fork sticking out of it the size of post-coke addiction Matthew Perry.

Hedging Our Bets

By David Kerem | May 16, 2002

Former New York Times columnist Chris Hedges' visit to Dartmouth College tomorrow afternoon will serve the cause of historical accuracy as well as Yasser Arafat lecturing on the conspiratorial Jewish usurpation of the holy land.

Anti-Israel or Anti-Jewish?

By Michael Sevi | May 16, 2002

To the Editor: In his May 14 interview with The Dartmouth, "Tutu Tells of Apartheid Struggle," Desmond Tutu states that with regards to Israel, "The minute you say something critical, they say you are anti-Semitic." This is quite an exaggeration; however, an observant person cannot ignore the fact that very often anti-Israel sentiments are conflated with, or rather used to mask, anti-Jewish sentiments. Look at what happened at a recent rally at San Francisco State University.

A Traditional Spring

By Cal Newport | May 15, 2002

Last term I wrote an article titled "A Traditional Winter," in which, as a service to the freshman class, I highlighted some of the more important Dartmouth winter traditions.

A Pedagogical Problem

By Ralph Alan Cohen | May 15, 2002

To the Editor: When I was a graduate student teaching freshman English at Duke, I let students give themselves their final grades, but I gave them a grade on their papers in a weekly conference.

In Support of Nike

By Joe DiMaria | May 14, 2002

To the Editor: I would like to compliment Carolyn Wu's May 10 response "Nike Bounces Back" to the sweeping claims made against them at last month's "Starving for the Swoosh" presentation.
