The Attack on Clement Hall, and Why It Matters

By Mark Woodward | March 4, 2002

To the Editor: Perhaps the great formulation of 20th century world jurisprudence was the "crime against humanity," a catch-all term used to embrace acts of genocide and human massacre that so far exceeded the idea of war crime that new standards of justice were needed, if only they could be consistently applied.

Coming to an Understanding

By Dan Galemba | March 1, 2002

It's been a long time. After weeks away from the burden of confronting my own thoughts, I'm back at the keyboard because something written in The Dartmouth this term has finally captured my fancy -- or, rather, my disgust and sorrow -- to the extent that I feel an overpowering urge to pour out my guts and do whatever is within my grasp to provide hope for the campus I yearn for.

Incompetence

By Janis Hui | February 27, 2002

Incompetence. I can't stand it. We all experience incompetence on a daily basis: cashiers who give you the wrong change, drivers who block roads by attempting to parallel park, professors who make you copy a page of a proof before realizing it doesn't work or hairdressers who hack off an inch of your bangs after you specifically tell them not to do so.

By Jourdan Abel | February 26, 2002

I've apparently taken a sabbatical from writing this winter. The term really did get off to a promising start, one filled with many juicy topics for columns: "My Life as a TA," or "Embarrassing Oneself in Front of 44 Students by Acting Out a 19th Century Romanticist Painting and Ending Up With Rug Burns," "Winter Does the Darndest Things" or "Wow!

Change From Within

By Devin Dwyer | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Upon reading Charles Gardner's Feb. 14 article in The Dartmouth, entitled "Inferior athletic facilities frustrate Dartmouth students," I was not surprised that "prospects for any expansion," or any improvement for that matter, of the Kresge Fitness Center seem dim.

Losing Credibility

By Garrett Gil de Rubio | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: The Dartmouth's editorial board and its reporter have done a dishonor to their own organization's alumni, to themselves and to the College community in reporting the Zeta Psi fraternity matter.

Lenten Follies

By Matt Soriano | February 25, 2002

Now that Mardi Gras has come and gone, those poor fools among us, me included, who still remember Sunday School lessons in lieu of Powerpoint outlines will acknowledge that Lent -- the buildup to the Easter, holiest day in the Christian year -- is now upon us.

A Major Oversight

By Roxanne Khamsi | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Regarding the article in The Dartmouth of Feb. 21, "Pink eye spreads after misdiagnoses," I was absolutely shocked to read a statement from Director of Health Services Dr. Jack Turco about his surprise at the quick spread of pink eye among members of the Dartmouth community.

The Proper Diagnosis

By Victoria Potterton | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Although Dick's House clearly misdiagnosed the cases of pinkeye as viral and should have swabbed patients for bacterial infections in the first place, the staff was right to avoid giving antibiotics to students who merely requested them without proof of a bacterial infection.
