True Justice

|

To the Editor: I am not a student at Dartmouth College and the intent of this letter isn't to impress the male, female or administrative population of your illustrious school.


Opinion

Free Trade: Liberating

|

To the Editor: The group of seven Dartmouth students protesting against free trade on the argument that it endangers human rights and the environment needs to travel more to developing countries.


Opinion

Trying Hard

|

I don't understand why students attack other students. Maybe I never will. Do people get a satisfaction out of criticizing the Student Assembly?



Opinion

Founding Mother

|

To the Editor: I am not writing this letter to discuss the inappropriateness of "The Zetemouth" or other Greek indiscretions.


Opinion

Where Punishment Is Due

|

To the Editor: I am offended and disgusted by the recently discovered "Zetemouth" papers. They are an offense not only to the women who were named but to all women.


Opinion

Zetegeist

|

My friends were nice enough to give me some ideas for the topic of this week's column. Or should I say rather that they were nice enough to give me an idea of what shouldn't be a topic for this week' s column.

A Coed Woman Speaks

|

To the Editor: Due to recent events, I have felt frustration at being caught in the middle of several arbitrary definitions, all of which seem to try to define me, and none of which try actually to include me.


Opinion

Good Intentions

|

To the Editor: After reading an article in the April 20th issue of The Dartmouth by Anshu Wahi entitled "Take Back the Night " Not Quite," I was compelled to address the unsubstantiated accusations that all too often pass without refute by leaders of the Greek community.




Opinion

Stand By Your Man

|

To the Editor: After reading Andrew Ryan's letter in the April 23rd issue of The Dartmouth, I felt that I must take up the challenge and say something.


Opinion

The Articles of Abolishment

|

The Greek system is classist, homophobic, misogynist and racist; it must be abolished. It is a decadent institution that exists only at the painful expense of others ("Others"). It can never provide adequate reparations for the psychic damage inflicted on those upset by the Saigon party, the Greek Week '98 and other t-shirts, the ghetto party, the luau, the "wah hoo wah" incident and, most recently, the Zeta Psi salacious papers affair. It originated in 1841 and was created primarily by white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant men for the benefit of white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant men.


Opinion

Disclosure

|

To the Editor: I was saddened to read about the continued personification of Dartmouth College as an institution which still embraces the notion that it is all right to portray women as objects for the fraternity man's sexual conquests.


Opinion

Controversy or Discourse?

|

On Monday, April 23rd, Theresa M. Pope wrote in The Dartmouth, "Based on what has transpired on your campus, I no longer view Dartmouth as a reputable institution." I thought I was going to stay out of this latest campus crisis -- really had no interest in hashing this one out; why bother?


Opinion

The Last Straw

|

To the Editor: It seems finally that the Greek system has run its course? After having supported the Greeks throughout my time in Hanover, your article about "The Zetemouth" has become that last straw to push me over to the other side.


Opinion

Just Poking Fun

|

To the Editor: Like most of the campus, I was personally appalled by the material in "Sigma Report" and "The Zetemouth." However, I think there are several things that most people may be overlooking in this controversy. I think it is important to realize that these "sex papers" have a sarcastic and self-deprecating tone that both the females involved and The Dartmouth have overlooked.


Opinion

Zete Alum: Live and Learn

|

To the Editor: I see a couple of issues which need to be examined. You may not like how I look at them, but don't I have the right to "free speech?" Don't I get a chance to say what I believe in?



Opinion

The Duty Of Provocation

|

To the Editor: I have always espoused the satirical philosophy that the American people (in general) were too reactionary and easily manipulated to deserve the franchise.
