Perpetuating the System

By Ted Bush | February 14, 2002

To the Editor: Not a bad guest column by Kate Greenwood (The Dartmouth, Jan. 30, "System Failure"), but it begs a greater question: Why do all these people need fraternity/sorority-type organizations in the first place?

This is My Valentine's Day

By Jeff Deck | February 14, 2002

What of this "Valentine's Day?" A friend of mine has christened it Black Thursday, akin to that famous day of the plagues in the Middle Ages -- Black Friday.

A Fundamental Right

By Emmett M. Hogan | February 14, 2002

To the Editor: I wish to comment on the current debate over the "exclusivity" of Dartmouth's sororities (and, by extension, the Greek system as a whole). Those who decry the Greek system because of its "exclusivity" do so at the peril of a fundamental right that should not be abandoned lightly -- the right to free assembly.

Dreams of Trinidad

By Ryan Tan | February 11, 2002

It must be all those spring break advertisements. You know, the ones that proclaim that you can go to the Caribbean for less than $300 -- better yet, rope in six or more friends and get to go for free yourself!

The Spirit of Giving

By Virginia Hazen | February 11, 2002

To The Editor: The Dartmouth's article of Jan. 22, 2002, "College work-study falls short," stated that Dartmouth has failed to meet the requirement that seven percent of its work-study allocation be spent on community service.

Putting Albany on the Map

By Abby Horowitz | February 11, 2002

I hail from Albany, New York. No, it's not the most exciting place in the country. And yes, it is sometimes referred to as "Smallbany," with its population falling just below 100,000. But leaving home for college has made me realize that Albany ain't that bad after all.

Biased Humanities Hiring?

By Mark Sheingorn | February 7, 2002

I offer some thoughts in response to Devin Foxall's article (The Dartmouth, Jan. 29, 2002, "Horowitz: Polls prove colleges' left-wing bias") on the political and cultural opinions of Ivy League humanities faculty as reported by the poll conducted by David Horowitz and Frank Luntz. First, there is no reason to dispute the results of the poll.

By Cal Newport | February 7, 2002

I am almost definite that the North Fayerweather dormitory is haunted. Don't be alarmed, I understand that we live a sheltered life here at Dartmouth and that for most of us our idea of a crisis is forgetting to put in hair gel before going to the gym.

By Anil Antony | February 7, 2002

Every day I open The Dartmouth, our newspaper and see the same thing. "Katie Greenwood hasn't the faintest clue." "Katie Greenwood has got it wrong." "Don't judge me just because I'm part of the Greek system." "We're inclusive." "We're mutually selective.

By Derrick Chu | February 6, 2002

Chien Wen Kung's argument (The Dartmouth, Jan. 31, 2002, "Thoughts on Ethnic Studies") focuses not on the legitimacy of Asian American Studies (AAS), but on the repercussions of granting institutional support through a major or program.
