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.

By Anil Antony | May 16, 2002

Let's play a game I learned as a child --Using the names James Wolfensohn, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, President George W.

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.

Opinion

A Flawed Way of Thinking

May 14, 2002

To the Editor: In the May 13 article in The Dartmouth,"New locks may hinder deliveries," Dean of the College Martin Redman notes that Panda House, the New York Times and others deliver to his front door, not to his bedroom.

Stereotyping Affinity Housing

By Chien Wen Kung | May 14, 2002

To the Editor: In the article, "Affinity Housing goes under review" (The Dartmouth, May 13, 2002), Ben Thorpe '04 is quoted as saying, "Anything that isn't affinity housing here is white affinity housing." This is clearly wrong.

Not Even Naked

By Abbye Meyer | May 14, 2002

In this, the spring of my senior year, I have finally completed my first rite of passage as a Dartmouth student.

Inspirational, not Disrespectful

By Lauren Foley | May 13, 2002

To the Editor: In Friday's issue, the Dartmouth Editorial Board criticized Professor Caterine for his grading policy, asserting that "though he is the recipient of a Student Assembly award for excellence in teaching, Caterine doesn't compare to other faculty who have a greater respect for the feedback process." This could not be further from the truth.

Opinion

Too Headstrong

By Matt Decker | May 13, 2002

To the Editor, I must take issue with your May 9 front-page article entitled "Tucker's Lord alienates some student leaders." I believe that this article is an injustice to one of the most admirable administrators at this College.

Opinion

An Educational Attitude

By Darryl Caterine | May 13, 2002

I have read The Dartmouth's May 10 article, "Profs. allow classes to set own grades," and must say that the coverage struck me as imbalanced and, in most places, sadly misleading.

A Commendable Leader

By Mia Yocco | May 13, 2002

To the Editor: I am responding to the May 9 article, "Tucker's Lord Alienates Some Student Leaders." While everyone has some faults, I am glad that the leadership of the Tucker Foundation rests in caring and passionate hands that are willing to put programs into action. I believe that I would not have been involved in community service had Dean of the Tucker Foundation Stuart Lord not reached out to me my sophomore summer on campus. I commend Stuart for his attempt to recruit from places on campus that might be represented in Tucker.

On Ethnic Food

By Devon Green | May 13, 2002

To the Editor: A full-time Dartmouth Dining Services worker recently brought Ryan Tan's May 8 column, "On Ethnic Food (Not Studies)," to my attention.

Too Idealistic? Think Again

By Mark Lawley | May 13, 2002

In this column, I defineThe Money as money Dartmouth has previously spent on expensive social events that only a few attend (Bad-@$$ party immediately comes to mind). This is money that might have been wasted on building more libraries, raising helpful alumni cash or a fund that Dartmouth could have set aside for social life.
