Taking The Heat Off

|

To the Editor: It is a shame that both President of the College James Wright and Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman found it necessary to blame Zeta Psi for their own shortcomings.


Opinion

If You Want Coed, Go Coed

|

To the Editor: Abbye Meyer's letter, "A Question Of Nondiscrimination" in the May 14th issue of The Dartmouth demands to know why the Greek system at Dartmouth is a "single-sex system in spite of our nondiscrimination policy." First, it is not exclusively a single-sex system.

A Tale Of Two Idiots

|

Like most people, I'm sure I've spent many a day feeling like the world's biggest idiot. Consistently falling down, saying dumb things and embarrassing myself, I'd actually say I'm one of the world's biggest idiots.

Bone Marrow Drive A Success

|

To the Editor: I would like thank the Dartmouth community very much for the strong support of the Dartmouth Bone Marrow Donor Registration Drive.

A Day In The Life

|

Woke up, fell out of bed, pulled a gun (a Smith and Wesson) out from under my head. Then I shot to hell the thang that was making noise.

A Message Of Reform

|

To the Editor: We congratulate Molly Stuzman and Michael Newton on their victories, and hope that the spirit of change is part of their administration.



Opinion

Put the Issues on the Table

|

I am amazed that The Dartmouth would publish such an overly-simplistic article as the Op-Ed from May 7th by John Haskell, titled "In Support of Beer;" however, perhaps it is best to get these absurd opinions on the table of public discussion rather than simply to let them fester like skunky cheap beer.


Opinion

Mislabeling

|

To the Editor: I continue to be amazed at how some folks, including Ryan Meuse ("Bemused At Stanford," The Dartmouth, May 9th,) continue to level the "political correctness" charge at those who fight back against racism, sexism and homophobia.


Opinion

Racism Outside The Law

|

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.


Opinion

Space Balls

|

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.

Zeta Psi responds

|

Today, Dartmouth College permanently derecognized the Psi Epsilon Chapter at Dartmouth College of Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America, Inc. Psi Epsilon of Zeta Psi deeply regrets that Dartmouth College has taken this action.

On Tri Kap And Asian Self-Segregation

|

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.



Opinion

Diversity Of Opinion Too

|

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.


Opinion

Misrepresenting The Issue

|

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.



Opinion

Technical Difficulties

|

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.
