Are Mormons Christian?

|

To the Editor: Although Mormons call themselves Christians, the fundamental difference between the two is that Mormons are polytheistic, while Christians are monotheistic.


Opinion

Are Mormons Christian?

|

To the Editor: I think it is a bit rich when Latter-day Saints try to involve themselves with Christian groups who they have been taught are apostates from true Christianity.


Opinion

Religiously Different

|

To the Editor: I have read with great interest the controversy regarding the Summer Christian Fellowship seeking leadership within a Christian Campus group.


Opinion

Dog Cruelty is Violent Crime

|

To the Editor: In reference to Matt Soriano's editorial "Equality for All?" in the July 17 Op-Ed section -- I sincerely hope that I missed some aspect of satire in the piece.



Opinion

Sex Without Limits?

|

To the Editor: I read an article about sexual relationships awhile ago and wanted to present a different view on sex and true love to readers of The Dartmouth, a view involving God. Our culture is consumed by love and sex.


Opinion

The Last Wilderness

|

Last November or December, I decided to vote. After writing in friends for positions such as Sheriff and County Auditor, I came to the presidential election.




Opinion

Equality for All?

|

By about May of this year, there was little that could faze me about New Jersey drivers. Over the course of eleven weeks and 8,000 miles driven on behalf of my mortgage firm, I had been rear-ended twice, I had cursed and been cursed at for using a cell phone at 78 miles an hour and had my life threatened.


Opinion

Trampling Liberty

|

The College recently implemented and then withdrew temporarily a new policy that involves daily, unannounced walk-throughs of all Greek houses by Safety and Security.


Opinion

Misrepresented

|

The '03 Class Council may be getting new officers, but rest assured that we will still have to put up with the same phony leadership that has defined our esteemed Councilmen from the beginning.


Opinion

Words of Caution

|

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article by Kathleen McDermott and Sabrina Peric in Monday's edition of The Dartmouth ("S&S Checks Routine for Some"). Your article lacked two relevant considerations that distinguish affinity houses from Greek houses on the matter of S&S walk-throughs. The first consideration is that, unlike Greek houses, affinity houses are owned and operated by the College, and are conscientiously administered like dorms.


Opinion

And It Rained

|

I had never before experienced what most people would consider a decent, or even normal, celebration of our nation's independence.


Opinion

Let CFS House Sophomores

|

To the Editor: As I take a break from the intricacies of Dartmouth and Greek issues, I cannot help but notice the gigantic real estate quandary the administration has sunk into.


Opinion

These Hallowed Pages

|

To the Editor: As I often check out The Dartmouth online while working off campus this summer, I was shocked and dismayed to see the column "Pin Prick," written by Adam Small '04. You really need some new voices.


Opinion

Don't Show Me the Money

|

Both houses of Congress are back in session this week. And campaign finance reform, a now-familiar issue to most Americans, is being debated in the House of Representatives.


Opinion

Will There Be Peace?

|

By Mohamad Bydon '01 During his recent trip to the Middle East, Secretary of State Collin Powell announced that he and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had agreed to test Yassir Arafat's peace-making resolve: "[T]here will be seven days of trial or tests in order to see how the Palestinian Authority manages to keep its undertakings." Those undertakings are to include the "complete and utter cessation of terrorist actions, of violence and of incitement" which will lead, as the hypothetical situation decrees, to the existence of "complete quiet." The seven day test will be followed by a six week cooling-off period. Although I do not doubt its sincerity, Powell's statement includes two incorrect assumptions.


Opinion

Correctly Titled Column

|

I want to acknowledge the title right here. It seems that, during sophomore summer, editing takes a back seat in light of other festivities in which students are partaking, so I do not blame my editor for the miserable butchering of the title of my last column that caused no one to read it. Speaking of festivities, sophomore summer kicked off for me with a canoeing/camping outing I would like to chronicle for you.


Opinion

My Dartmouth

|

To the Editor: The article about the return of elderly alumni to Dartmouth during reunions was poignant because parts of it captured a snapshot of Dartmouth that I can only now begin to appreciate. When I reflect upon the time I spent at Dartmouth, I am awed by the affection that I have for the place, and I understand the commitment that now elderly alumni have for Dartmouth. Though I have no idea what it is like to return to Dartmouth for a 50th reunion, I can certainly appreciate the respect and affection that these alumni have for our College. As a '99, I strongly believe that I attended Dartmouth during a time when certain of the traditions that epitomized the consummate Dartmouth experience were still alive. Although, as a student at Dartmouth, I can clearly recall thinking that there were aspects of Dartmouth that required improvement (as is the case with any college experience), I am convinced that there will always be a special place in my heart for Dartmouth, as well as for the discoveries I made that the Dartmouth environment so uniquely cultivated.
