Racism Outside The Law

By Shirley Lin | May 14, 2001

To the Editor: In his May 9th letter to the editor entitled "Technical Difficulties," Andrew Grossman '02 writes that none of the incidents outlined in the May 2nd article (The Dartmouth, "Past five years marred by hate crimes toward Asians") qualify as hate crimes. While his observation may be correct, Grossman deliberately undermines the significance of these incidents by proposing that the title of the article ought to have been "Past Five Years: No Hate Crimes Directed at Asians." By definition, hate crimes are motivated by a desire to intimidate or harm a person or group based on their race, nationality, sexuality, religion, or gender.

Space Balls

By Randy Stebbins | May 11, 2001

The evil empire has fallen. The U.S. is the only super-power on the planet. But, since we know that it's still a dangerous world, Dubya has reached back to the frigid past, knocked the frost from Donald Rumsfeld and set him loose.

On Tri Kap And Asian Self-Segregation

By Frank Aum | May 10, 2001

As a Dartmouth alumnus and a member of the pledge class that helped transform Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity from an unpopular house into the thriving house of today, I would like to offer my thoughts about the perceptions of our house as well as the issue of minority self-segregation.

Diversity Of Opinion Too

By Lori Ann Chauvette | May 10, 2001

To the Editor: As a returning Keene State College student, some of the things Dan Galemba wrote resonated with what I went through when I was a student (the first time) at Keene State back in the mid-1990s. I worked on The Equinox the two years I was at Keene State and I would often write columns touting my conservative viewpoint on the various things going on in the world and on campus.

Misrepresenting The Issue

By Annie Lambert | May 9, 2001

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the May 2nd article in The Dartmouth, "Zete not covered by free speech," by News Editor Victoria McGrane '02. This article should not have been written.

Technical Difficulties

By Andrew Grossman | May 9, 2001

To the Editor: Of the several incidents noted in your article of May 2 "Past five years marred by hate crimes directed toward Asians," none were actually crimes. Similar incidents involving the Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Chi Alpha fraternities, while perhaps in poor taste or simply misunderstood, in no manner broke any law. Similarly, though David Berenson's "Bear Bones" comic strip offended several Asian students, Berenson is innocent of all criminal wrong-doing, at least so far as "Bear Bones" is concerned.

Bemused at Stanford

By Ryan Meuse | May 9, 2001

To the Editor: Don't you people realize what you are doing is wrong as well? Sure, "The Zetemouth" is disgusting and vile, but it was also private.

A Travesty

By Jay Park | May 9, 2001

To the Editor: On May 2nd, I had to endure reading The Dartmouth's headline "Tri Kap confronts its Asian image," as if an Asian image is such a horrible thing that Tri Kap or any other group would surely want to "confront" it, and then an article by an Asian male (Derek Lee '01) with such a narrow view on race relations that he actually defends an article in the Harvard Crimson that is patently ignorant, inflammatory and just plain stupid in every regard. I would expect the usually responsible editors of The Dartmouth to have slightly more judgment in their selection of a headline -- the op-ed article was too filled with stupidity for me to even respond in great detail. To think that these fools like Derek Lee and Justin Fong wonder why Asians or members of any other minority group somehow choose to stick together.

Here's Johnny

By Kamil Walji | May 8, 2001

To the Editor: So I figured that a term away would help me get a better perspective on myself and give me a little distance from Dartmouth so I could break out of the Hanover bubble for a couple of weeks.

What have you done for me lately? That's probably the question that most students ask every spring when SA elections come around.

Building a True SA

By Aly Rahim | May 8, 2001

The Student Assembly has become irrelevant to almost every student on campus. This is a reality the current and past leadership of the SA refuse to acknowledge.

A Tale Of Two Dartmouths

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | May 8, 2001

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. We are barely five months into the 21st century, and the Greek system, that gloried institution of everything Dartmouth, has clearly demonstrated its obsolescence.
