A Sophomore's Summer

By Abby Horowitz | August 16, 2001

I. Summertime Things I Have Missed By Being Here At School: Dinners on the back porch, book after book in the backyard, bike rides along the Hudson, lunch downtown by the Capitol building, soft ice-cream (small twist in a cone with rainbow sprinkles, please), musicals in the park, rounds of mini-golf, badminton games in the street, night strolls through the neighborhood. II.

Taking Risks

By Elise Berman | August 16, 2001

We, as juniors, feel ourselves settled. We have a place: we are engineering or computer science or anthropology majors, we play soccer or we run track, we are involved in the DSO or we work for The D, we have a specific circle of friends.

Balls!

By John Haskell | August 16, 2001

In her Tuesday article, "I'm Not Laughing," Nancy Lai certainly succeeded in making me laugh. I saw the poster to which she refers, and it made me laugh too.

Tie Funding to Policies

By Emmett M. Hogan | August 16, 2001

To the Editor: In his letter to the editor on Friday, August 10 ("Not Everyone Has Privilege"), Jason Spitalnick contends that my suggestion to let one's dollars speak to the Administration is "narrow-minded, petty and largely misinformed". Mr. Spitalnick has drawn an innacurate impression of my suggestion.

Key-Card Locks Worrisome

By Jon Sussman | August 16, 2001

To the Editor: Regarding the August 14th article "Door locks set for winter," prior to the institution of key-card controlled door locks for residence halls and academic buildings, students and other community members deserve a full disclosure of the ways in which the new system will be used.

Runners Shined Too

By Jodie Dromgoole | August 16, 2001

To the Editor: In your August 1st article "Dartmouth Teams Experience Varied Success," you failed to even mention the Big Green men's and women's accomplishments in cross country and track. The cross-country men's team qualified for the NCAAs and a cross-country woman, Erin Dromgoole '01, earned NCAA All-American status with a 23rd place run. Tom McArdle '03 earned All-American status in NCAA indoor track 5k placing 10th plus NCAA outdoor track 10k placing 5th. Three All-American awards in 2000-01 in the Big Green running squads, something that should not be overlooked.

Biased Journalism?

By David Sherzer | August 16, 2001

To the Editor: Your article on stem cell research was the most biased 549 words of liberal drivel that I have read since, well, probably the last time I picked up the New York Times.

A Model for the Future

By Summer Editorial Staff | August 16, 2001

The policy on Safety and Security walk-through inspections of Coed, Fraternity, Sorority and undergraduate society houses released by the Office of Residential Life yesterday accomplished one very important feat: administrators and students began talking. Unfortunately, that will be the policy's only success.

There goes the neighborhood

By Brian Nick | August 10, 2001

Ladies and gentlemen of Harlem, I give you Bill Clinton. Like it or not, America's newest former president is also the newest resident of one of Manhattan's most famous neighborhoods, one that has traditionally been populated by African-Americans.

Who am I?

By Dan Galemba | August 10, 2001

I was sitting in a tiny, stuffy, stark-white room without air conditioning in Clement on Thursday for my interview for an internship with J.P.

Not Everyone Has Privilege

By Jason Maxwell Spitalnick | August 10, 2001

To the Editor: Emmett Hogan '01 ends an August 8 letter with, "Our dollars are our only leverage; let's use them." In so doing, he exemplifies the narrow-minded, petty and largely misinformed perspective of many College students and alumnae who rail against the current administration in a frenzied attempt to maintain tradition and dispossess the College of its forward-thinking and progressive elements. Mr. Hogan makes it quite clear that he does not understand the changing nature of the student body.

What Happened to Courtship?

By Elliot Olshansky | August 10, 2001

Alice Gomstyn's August 6 article ("Study Shows Hook Ups Common") showed excellent insight into some of the concerns expressed in the Institute for American Values' report, "Hooking Up, Hanging Out, and Hoping For Mr. Right: College Women on Dating and Mating Today." I would like to respond to Tom Dugdale '03's comment, "One of the tough things about [the hook up culture] is on the one hand you have a lot of women crying out, and on the other hand you have a lot of women partaking in this culture." In 1997, the gender ratio among U.S.

The Danger of Missile Defense

By Hannah Jacobs | August 8, 2001

I am currently working in Washington D.C. for a lobby to reduce weapons of mass destruction. Although I agree with proponents of a national missile defense in their intent to create a more peaceful deterrence strategy, I am bothered by their alarmist approach to this issue, and their insistence upon deploying the system, even if it could create another arms race and force America to unilaterally withdraw from treaties.

Power of the Purse

By Emmett M. Hogan | August 8, 2001

To the Editor: In his August 6 editorial "Fascism at Dartmouth?", John Haskell bemoans the fact that Dartmouth students have no redress against the rampant betrayal of our rights by the College.

A Credibility Gap

By Chris Curran | August 8, 2001

While many in the Dartmouth community are resigned to the impending presence of Safety and Security officers in Greek houses, I question whether enough attention has been paid to the true rationale for the new policy.

Fascism at Dartmouth?

By John Haskell | August 6, 2001

It is a well-known and often stated fact that Dartmouth College can legally deny its students rights guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution of the United States.
