Future Shock

|

I really enjoy autumns in Hanover. The bright orange pumpkins, the warm apple cider, the majestic and kaleidoscopic foliage, the crisp autumnal air, the 30-below wind chill factor, the deadly hail of acorns, the bracing shock of being able to see your own breath while brushing your teeth, the frozen tundra where once stood the Green.

Far From Apathy

|

To the Editor: I would like to point out to Mr. Ostendorp (Oct. 11, "Against Apathy") that the mood on this campus has been far from apathetic.



Opinion

Serious Support

|

To the Editor: In response to the "Minus Green" (Letter to the Editor, Oct. 11), the protest of which I was a part on Monday was just that, and not a "counter-protest." Our goal was apart from simply countering the protestors who have been clustering on the corner beside the student center in recent weeks.

The Time is Now

|

To the Editor: Last week I received an e-mail from a classmate and friend that contained a link to an article by a staff columnist of "The D," Dan Rothfarb, "I Will Raise No Flag" (Oct.

The Truth About PETA

|

I'm a conservationist. I love the outdoors, or more specifically, the wilderness. That's one reason I came to Dartmouth, to be, as Edward Abbey would have said, "beyond the wall of the unreal city." As a conservationist, I'm frustrated and confused by the amount of energy animal rights activists donate to some causes while abstaining from any involvement with others.

Counter-Protests Insulting

|

To the Editor: Not only is it unfortunate that the dignity of the protest led by the Hanover High students was parodied by the pro-war "demonstration" staged in response to it, but the gratuitous coverage provided by The Dartmouth was irresponsible and inflammatory.


Opinion

Careful Consideration

|

To the Editor: In Brian Nick's Oct. 8 editorial "Peace Without A Solution," he asserts that pacifists on campus are "dangerous" people who need to "seriously reconsider [their] position and [their] entire line of thinking." While I find myself unsure of whether or not our military actions are appropriate, I am relatively certain that Nick's sentiments are much more "dangerous" to American ideals than those he attacks.

Freedom at All Costs

|

It was my 21st birthday, a time to revel in my new freedoms. Instead I worried about freedoms I had already taken for granted and endured one of the most harrowing experiences of my life -- and nothing even happened. I was returning to New York from London with my girlfriend.


Opinion

Pilgrim's Pride

|

2:30, early Saturday morning. The air smelled like fall. I was walking (not inebriated), and I saw a woman sitting on the curb, staring blankly at the street.


Opinion

War is Necessary

|

Last week I wore a t-shirt to class that read "Beat the Hell out of bin Laden" on the front and "Whoop!" on the back.



Opinion

The Pink Zone

|

In the past week -- the span of only about six or seven days -- I have fallen. Not as in "fallen down" or "fallen in love," but something much more devastating.


Opinion

Name Shame

|

I just realized how rude I've been. I never introduced myself to you. My name is Anil (uh-neel say it with me) Antony (not Anthony) and I'm an '02.


Opinion

Oh Too Lucky

|

The Class of 2002 is quietly ushering out an era of yesterday, and is blindly stepping into an unknown era of tomorrow.



Opinion

On Love

|

Freud couldn't do it. "The great question which I have not been able to answer despite my 30 years in research into the feminine soul is, what does a woman want?" If the man with arguably the greatest insight ever into the workings of the human mind couldn't understand women, then what chance do us poor college students have?


Opinion

A Lesson in Allegory

|

To the Editor: I knew this kid in elementary school named Sam. He was a really big guy for his age, and because of that, a lot of kids respected him.
