The Truth About PETA

By Nathaniel Paull | October 11, 2001

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

By The Minus Green: | October 11, 2001

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.

Careful Consideration

By Max Brooks | October 10, 2001

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

By Dan Galemba | October 10, 2001

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.

Pilgrim's Pride

By Randy Lynn | October 10, 2001

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.

War is Necessary

By Nathan Hedges | October 10, 2001

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.

The Pink Zone

By Abbye Meyer | October 9, 2001

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.

Name Shame

By Anil Antony | October 9, 2001

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.

Oh Too Lucky

By Josef Jung | October 8, 2001

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

On Love

By Andrew Friedenthal | October 8, 2001

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?

A Lesson in Allegory

By Ben Annino | October 5, 2001

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.

Military Not the Answer

By John Leyba | October 5, 2001

To the Editor: In regard to Troy Blanchard's letter to the editor (Oct. 3) calling for us to become the next "Greatest Generation," it is curious that he still managed to show up for a Fall term that began two weeks after the attacks in NYC and DC, seeing as he is an '05 and had, at the time, little invested in an academic, social life at the College. Secondly, military action of the sort following Pearl Harbor is not what will win this new "war," and any assertion that one's patriotism hinges on enlisting at the drop of a hat (or plane) is, at best, ludicrous.

Guided by the Future

By Brian Burgess | October 5, 2001

Revenge. It's a word that's been tossed around frequently after the unconscionable acts of terrorism perpetuated against the United States.

Dating at Dartmouth

By Paul Marino | October 5, 2001

I haven't been on a single date since I got to school," says '04 Leo Twiggs. "I always figured it was because girls find me difficult to approach." I know the feeling.

The Struggle to Cope

By Nancy Lai | October 5, 2001

Well. Here I am, last in the columnist rotation. For the first time in my Dartmouth career I've read all the Op-Eds of the past two weeks.

Aggressive Action Needed

By Eamonn Brady | October 4, 2001

To the Editor: Sean Donahue '96, in his letter to the editor (Sept. 25), states, "we should be speaking out for sanity and compassion." Speak all you want, for it is your right.
