Hope for the Cynical

By Dan Galemba | September 26, 2001

Ah, fall. A time of unbridled optimism. A new year, new classes to take, new people to meet, new experiences to seek.

Opinion

I have to admit that I am somewhat puzzled by some of the editorials that I have read in these pages since the massacre of some 6400 innocents from 60 different countries that occurred in New York City and Washington D.C.

Bin Laden Must be Stopped

By Matt Kruger | September 26, 2001

To the Editor: I've read many of the pro-peace editorials recently and I find that I'm asking myself, "Do these people realize the gravity of the threat posed against the U.S.?" Do they know that the FBI has recently turned up evidence that show these Islamic radicals are planning a biological/chemical attack using crop-dusting aircraft to deliver the deadly blow? Do they know that previous reports have linked bin Laden associates to attempts to acquire the amount of uranium necessary to make a "dirty" nuclear weapon, designed to spill out massive amounts of cancer-causing radiation?

The Path of Honor

By Elliot Olshansky | September 26, 2001

To the Editor: I was very disappointed to read three consecutive letters to the editor in the Sept.

Opinion

No More Violence

By Brian Kent | September 25, 2001

To the Editor: I write this for the students, whose minds have historically been open, and whose voices we've historically listened to. I am a tired American today.

A Nectar of the Gods

By Abbye Meyer | September 25, 2001

The whole thing is pretty bizarre, really. I know I'm only one in a million who share in the addiction, but I can trace my involvement with Diet Coke back to before my birth.

Roughing It

By Anil Antony | September 25, 2001

Having spent substantial parts of the last two years in Alaska and Southern Africa, I was excited when my friend, Meg'n (she requested that I disguise her name pretty good, huh?) asked whether I would be interested in camping in the woods for the weekend.

Opinion

Not Total Support

By Scott Anderson | September 25, 2001

To the Editor: I was very disappointed to see that despite the fact that your own poll (September 24) showed that a quarter of Dartmouth students were not in support of any military action, this viewpoint was entirely ignored in the most recent issue of The Dartmouth.

Opinion

A Peaceful Approach

By Sean Donahue | September 25, 2001

To the Editor: September 11th's terrorist attacks in Washington and New York brought us all a horrifying reminder of the tremendous suffering that occurs when a city is bombed.

Opinion

Remembering a Friend

By Kristin Ann Kelly | September 24, 2001

To the Editor: As a Dartmouth alumna returned to pursue an MD/PhD, I am struck by how Dartmouth with different faces remains the same, ever and never changing.

Opinion

Larger than Life

By Jeff Deck | September 24, 2001

As another grand year kicks off here at Dartmouth, we would be inclined to examine the broader concerns of student life, the overarching issues that touch us all.

Opinion

Our American Victory

By Calvin Newport | September 24, 2001

Our nation mourns, for we have suffered a tragedy beyond the description of superlatives. With well over 6000 innocents murdered by a faceless enemy, we Americans now find ourselves surrounded by loss.

Opinion

The Real Islam

By Oosman Ansari | September 24, 2001

Who so ever kills an (innocent) human being, for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and who so ever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind" -- The Holy Quran: Al -- Ma'dah Verse:32) The Quoted Verse from the Holy Quran (believed to be the perfect and last of a number of heavenly revelations, according to Muslims) is witness to the faith of tolerance, respect and peace -- the faith which I amongst many Muslims, both at Dartmouth and around the world adhere to.

United We Stand

By Brian Nick | September 24, 2001

In the past two weeks two unthinkable things happened in our country. I don't think I have to tell you what the first one is.

Opinion

Confronting Evil

By Chris Curran | September 24, 2001

Rarely is the line between good and evil as clear-cut as it was with the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11.

Opinion

Forging Ties

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | September 24, 2001

Six Dartmouth students were among the thousands of victims of the September 11 terrorist attack on New York and Washington.

A City Left Naked

By Nomi Stone | September 12, 2001

Stunned with their briefcases, ash dusting their clothes and shoes a ghoulish gray, they make their mass exodus across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Opinion

A Case for Loyalty

By Dan Galemba | August 22, 2001

The Denver Post has made a stand to refer to the new home of the Denver Broncos solely as "New Mile High Stadium." The stadium's actual name, in line with the wonderful age of selling out in which we live, is "Invesco Field at Mile High." Even before I came to Dartmouth from Denver over two years ago, when the stadium's construction was in its infancy, the controversy over naming the stadium filled the papers.

Sophomore Summer, Part Deux

By Nancy Lai | August 20, 2001

You spend time in the Hop Woodshop making canvas stretchers and decide to also make a bookshelf.
