To the Dartmouth Class of 2005: you will soon understand what makes this place so special. Sometime between now and Thanksgiving break you will likely discover the Dartmouth spirit.
It's nice to feel wanted. There're about forty thousand people in the Class of 2005, and we all feel very important.
To the Editor: It is hazardous to criticize cartoons ("where's your sense of humor, professor?"), but Fred Ware's "Kicker" cartoon in Thursday's D has goaded me to take the risk.
Afriend of ours was listening to a radio station in Texas and a Muslim woman called in to talk about feeling trapped within her home and scared of going outside.
To the Editor: Apart from the many letters and columns in The Dartmouth recently on the merits of the U.S.

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?
