A Unique Position

By Nina Basu | May 1, 2001

Dan Galemba's April 30th column in The Dartmouth entitled "Greekophobia" manages to mock the serious campus issue of sexual assault, as well as further insult the Greek system he attempts to defend.

Talk, Not Chalk

Opinion

Kramer knows what's up. He's always been a few steps ahead of the rest of us. And if he were a part of Dartmouth present rather than "Seinfeld" past, he'd definitely whip us into shape, just as he's always done for Jerry, Elaine and George. In the classic engagement pact episode, Jerry and George find themselves unfulfilled by their lives, and Kramer knows exactly what they're thinking and where they're heading: "So then you asked yourselves, isn't there something more to life?" "Yes," Jerry exclaims enthusiastically.

Missing the Point

By Seth Dunipace | May 1, 2001

To the Editor: I am a sophomore male at Princeton University and I happened upon the article "Take Back The Night -- Not Quite" by Anshu Wahi '02 (The Dartmouth, April 19th). I think this columnist has missed the entire point of Take Back the Night.

One More Time

By Jessica Marshall | May 1, 2001

Greekophobia

By Dan Galemba | April 30, 2001

Bigotry always results in scapegoating, in overgeneralization, in unjust accusations based only on one's cultural, racial, or sexual affiliation, among other things.

Perspective: Bad Prospects

By Randy Stebbins | April 27, 2001

I'm hesitant even obliquely to enter the brouhaha surrounding the latest Greek scandal, for it seems that the whole question of Yes Greeky, No Greeky has no end in sight.

Opinion

A Matter of Timing

By Rob Valet | April 27, 2001

As "The Zetemouth" scandal settles down, I would urge you all to take a minute to try to remember the true victims in this tragic affair: the handful of poor forgotten Dartmouth columnists like myself who, through no fault of their own, were scheduled in precisely the wrong part of the two-week columnist rotation to get a decently timed article out of the deal. Last Tuesday I was utterly heartbroken that a "Major News Event" was taking place, and I wasn't scheduled to write again for another week and a half!

Libel, Not Free Speech

By Ben Wade | April 27, 2001

To the Editor: It would do the authors of "The Zetemouth" -- and those who would rally behind them under the banner of freedom of speech and the press -- well to rethink their belief that they had the right to publish their controversial and juvenile newsletter.

Opinion

Spatial Recognition

Opinion

True Justice

By Andrew Maher | April 27, 2001
