Biased Journalism?

|

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

|

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

|

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?

|

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.


Opinion

Not Everyone Has Privilege

|

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?

|

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

|

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

|

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.

New Adviser Role

|

To The Editor: First let me thank you for writing such a wonderful article welcoming Dawn Hemphill to the campus in your August 2 edition.


Opinion

A Credibility Gap

|

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.


Opinion

Fascism at Dartmouth?

|

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.


Opinion

A Call for Missile Defense

|

The recent successful intercept by the ExoAtmospheric Kill Vehicle has again raised the profile of the United States' controversial national missile defense (NMD) system.



Opinion

A Craving for Change

|

Life at Dartmouth is great. But couldn't it be better? Pressing issues surrounding the future of student life are frequently arising, and student response has been anything but enthusiastic. We know the face of student life is changing.


Opinion

River Rat

|

When I visited Dartmouth as a prospective, my host lived in The River dorms. Needless to say, I did not come away with a very favorable impression of the rooming situation here.

Call it Dartnose

|

It's easy to cry. We all do it sometimes, and I admit to doing a fair share of sobbing, even while at this wonderful place in the mountains, this College on the Hill (as they say), this Dartmouth.
