Bemused at Stanford
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.

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.
Controversy is nothing new at Dartmouth. This year, like every previous one, has seen a number of important issues and debates.
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.
Why do most students shrug their shoulders when I ask them what they think about Student Assembly?
What have you done for me lately? That's probably the question that most students ask every spring when SA elections come around.
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.
To the Editor: The reduction in parking fines seems to be nothing more than an administrative sleight of hand.
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.
Sixty active members, a yearly budget of $35,000, established relationships with administrators.
To the Editor: As word of the Zeta Psi fraternity incident spreads among alumni, I can't help but feel absolutely frustrated at the College's perpetually turning a blind eye to the systemic nature of fraternity problems.
While walking past the recent rally outside of Parkhurst Hall, I felt compelled to stop and observe.
To the Editor: The Dartmouth recently reported on April 13th ("Zantop Tragedy Inspires Books") that at least three books about the Zantop murders are in the works. Startlingly soon after the tragedy, I was contacted by a writer planning one such book.
To the Editor: I was just reading Craig Elbert's article ("2005 enrollment sets records," The Dartmouth, May 4th") on the possible increase in admissions for the 2005 class, and I couldn't help but stop and think about one of the paragraphs, which highlighted the percentage of minority students applying. "The 335 students of color, who make up 28.4 percent of the preliminary class, represent a jump from last year's numbers, when only 22.8 percent of the Class of 2004 were minorities.
To the Editor, I am a member of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, and I am outraged by the recent behavior of Zeta Psi fraternity at Dartmouth.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to Chris Curran's "When Pro Is Con" which appeared on May 3rd in The Dartmouth.
To the Editor: On May 4th, Hank Leukart, a member of the Dartmouth Senior Staff, wrote a piece headlined "Performances impress, Sondheim disappoints in 'Into the Woods.'" Mr. Leukart's piece told us nothing about the musical but plenty about Mr. Leukart.
To the Editor: "Rather than asking the administration to regulate speech, let's start asking students to do the same things." I read Margaret Kuecker's letter "Student Free Speech" in the May 4th issue of The Dartmouth with horror and bewilderment.
It's time to speak of mentoring. No, no! Come back! This is still a humor column and I'm not actually going to present you with an opinion.
I have been following with sadness the latest installment in the history of Dartmouth's Greek system.
