In Support of Nike

|

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

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.


Opinion

Stereotyping Affinity Housing

|

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.


Opinion

Not Even Naked

|

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


Opinion

Inspirational, not Disrespectful

|

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

|

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

|

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.



Opinion

A Commendable Leader

|

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.


Opinion

On Ethnic Food

|

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.


Opinion

Too Idealistic? Think Again

|

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.





Opinion

What is Peace?

|

Why did I ask Ehud Barak, "What is peace?" I asked Mr. Barak what is peace because I believe it is the one question that is not being asked.


Opinion

Getting a Broad Perspective

|

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letter titled "Educate Yourself" by Linda Swenberg '89, printed on April 18, 2002 in The Dartmouth. In the letter, Ms. Swenberg suggests that Dartmouth students are misinformed about events in Israel and Palestine because they rely on information "filtered by the U.S.

An 'Invader' Responds

|

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? As far as the "long lines, free food and hungry bunnies" go, maybe you should have missed a meal.

My Daily Battle

|

It's high noon, a drop of sweat slides down my brow, and I enter the gauntlet. Between the detectors, past the plaster walls and into the stacks I stride.
