Full Disclosure On Tuesday, the United States special envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalizad, said that further bombing of Afghanistan was necessary to ensure a lasting defeat of the Taliban and al-Qaida. We support the air strikes.

Unless you are a high and mighty med student, like my friend Varun who thinks his future is paved with gold, chances are that you will need to submit a rsum at some point.
I would like to respond to Mohamad Bydon's Nov. 21 article in The Dartmouth entitled "Re-humanizing the Palestinians." In his article, he argues that the Palestinian people are simply "demanding freedom, a homeland and a solution to their refugee crisis." I would like to assert that the legitimate Palestinian goals of "freedom, a homeland and a solution to their refugee crisis" cannot be attained if Palestinians do not simultaneously meet the equally necessary goal of recognizing the state of Israel's right to exist. Mr. Bydon may well support a dual state solution to the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinians (he does not elaborate), allowing for both an independent Jewish state and an independent Palestinian state.
For many sophomores, this is the term of reckoning. Within weeks, we will be expected to declare our majors and offer up a clear program of study to the powers that be.
Since a December terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament that killed 14 people, relations between India and Pakistan -- never close to begin with -- have been in particularly dire straits.
We're an addicted society, or at the very least a society prone to addiction. The signs are everywhere.
To the Editor, In an op-ed piece entitled "The Usual Suspect" that appeared in the Jan. 3, 2002 issue of The Dartmouth, the author, Pedro Csar De Los Santos Lora, said "The Hanover (and the New Hampshire) Police, apart from being inexperienced, were incompetent, ignorant and racist." Believe it or not, people who commit serious crimes actually lie about, and even deny, involvement (imagine that!). As the author stated, he was a potential suspect in a murder investigation, and while he knew he wasn't involved, the criminal investigators could not know that.
Ahh, politics as usual. It's refreshing to be back in a nation that has political dissention in it.
This is the Winter of Fitness. It's time to stop eating bread and cheese for every meal, stop driving to classes (maybe), and stop sitting around for so many hours a day.
I love birthdays. Some people don't like to make a big deal about them, but I love that feeling of "I am special" that the big day brings.
Being Catholic and having a birthday on Dec. 29 -- between Christmas and New Year's Eve -- has its drawbacks.
Welcome to Dartmouth in the winter. It's 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and the new North Face fleece you bought over the Christmas break doesn't quite seem to do the trick.
On Jan. 2, the day I was set to fly to Boston, Spike, my fish of four years, met a tragic death. The snails, my father explained to me, had begun to eat away at his discolored and weak body, and my dad was forced to flush his limp carcass down the loo.
My fellow '04s, sophomore winter is finally here. It is now time to prepare to make the most important decision of our academic careers: do we face the cold to get an omelet for breakfast, or settle for a handful of stale Cheese-Its instead?
Some nights I have a dream that I'm back in a high school theatre production, wilting under the unforgiving offstage gaze of the director.
I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions. The idea itself is not without merit. A new year is a time for new beginnings, so what better time to resolve to be better, healthier, kinder people?
Let's make no bones about it; I'm a bitter, miserable kid. No matter what I have to be thankful for, no matter what's going right in my world, I always dwell on the negative things.
In its editorial on Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2001, The Dartmouth stated that the Hanover Police, in contrast to their treatment of Timothy Hall, "conducted many student interviews in a subdued, professional fashion" during the Zantop murder investigation.
Students returning to campus undoubtedly notice the new call boxes that the College has installed outside its dormitories. The industrial steel consoles clash with Dartmouth's colonial architecture just as the notion of a security system jars our perception of an idyllic rural campus.
To the Editor: I just read Alison Schmauch's article titled, "Is fear affecting our college experience?" in the Monday, Nov.
