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.

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.

Who supports domestic violence resulting in the death of an unborn child? Certainly no one I know.
To the Editor: Throughout the grounds of the Dartmouth campus one can find various anonymous declarations and accusations written in chalk, all of which are unsigned.
No, I'm not kidding. On May 9th Dartmouth students will have an opportunity to tell the administration that we will no longer acquiesce to phony elections of a Student Body President who has no true institutional voice in the management of the school.
I've written before about the pervasiveness of catch phrases in American politics. I write now to address the one of the most appalling pieces of rhetoric bouncing around this campus: free speech.
To the Editor: You can't build a community around hate, antagonism, secrets, or lies. In fact, in my opinion, you can't even build a real community around tolerance alone.
To the Editor: I have been attending Minimum Standards Review boards for many years as a participant and a review board member.
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.
To the Editor: I learned early in my life that when I assume, I make an ass out of U and ME.
