Reality Check

By Ben Mishkin | April 2, 2001

To the Editor: Dartmouth has the gift of eternal youth -- every June the crusty seniors are shipped far and wide, and we welcome a budding troupe of impressionable young minds, the finest the world has to offer, to the College.

Stebbins Out Of Bounds

By Lori Shipulski | April 2, 2001

To the Editor: In the March 30th issue of The Dartmouth, Randy Stebbins' article "Hanover for the Few," commenting on the type of people who live in Hanover and what their priorities in life are, was completely one-sided.

Ode To A Shoe

By Rob Valet | March 30, 2001

Now that we are well underway with what is purportedly Spring term, somehow I imagined things would be a little more spring-like around here.

Hanover For the Few

By Randy Stebbins | March 30, 2001

The real news in a story often hides in the subtext of what we read in the morning papers. Being an eager beaver schoolboy, I was on campus this past Monday in order to be the first one to check in and while waiting, I read the Valley News.

Going Full Circle

By Dan Galemba | March 29, 2001

No one wants to hear about it anymore, but it needs to be said. What I have to say is not specifically in reference to what happened at Psi Upsilon fraternity and the reaction thereof; it, again, is in response to a trend recurring everywhere I look on this campus and others.

Beyond The Treeline

By Smita Nakhooka | March 28, 2001

The thing about trees is that they are so very easy to take for granted -- especially when we live in a lovely green insulated bubble like Hanover, a place that the lone pine above Dartmouth College in the Alma Mater symbolizes and constantly reminds us of.

On Public Discourse

By Linda Romano | March 28, 2001

I wish that everything that happened in a term in Dartmouth couldn't be so tersely summed up in a nice 5,000 word ditty, like the one that appeared in yesterday's D.

Family Fund Outrageous

By C. Knott | March 27, 2001

To the Editor: What a disgusting turn of events it is that anyone would have the nerve to set up a "fund" for the families of these alleged killers.

Opinion

Media Hype

By Melody Freeman | March 27, 2001

To the Editor: After reading Dr. Lynda Williams' article in the February 23rd issue of The Dartmouth entitled "Treatment by the Press," I find it sad that I must concur with her poor opinion of the media.

Opinion

Keep Blocking

By Peter Hanbury | March 27, 2001

To the Editor: In the Office of Residential Life's Housing Assignments and Room Draw 2001-2002 Information book mailed to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors last term, the administration lists several "guiding principles" for the room draw process.

Eliminate Loans

By Ann E. King | March 27, 2001

To the Editor: I agree with your March 7 editorial entitled "Don't Wait Any Longer" that recommends that student loans be replaced with grants.

Immature Behavior

By Joseph Kelly | March 7, 2001

To the Editor: In his letter to the editor in the March 6, 2001 issue of The Dartmouth, Mr. Nilanjan Banerjee '00 seems to miss the point. Mr. Banerjee touts the fraternity/sorority/co-ed system as a hotbed for diversity, and I must say, this is one of the first times I've heard that argument (and I'll blindly take that as a positive sign of change). But we free-thinking and compassionate human beings would agree that if a brother or group of brothers were outside directing a stream of threatening comments to a group of people, that this is clearly not them expressing their culturally diverse points of view --- it is one group threatening or insulting another group, plain and simple. Don't deny it or excuse it. It's outright immature behavior, and when this kind of thing happens at my alma mater, I am really embarrassed.

Opinion

Lock and Load

By Rob Valet | March 7, 2001

It seems that once again we are on one of our periodic lock-the-door kicks here at Dartmouth. Just as the noble, indefatigable salmon is driven to swim hundreds of miles to seek out its home stream in order to spawn, so too is ORL irresistibly compelled to try to lock the doors every couple of years, despite tremendous hardship such as us telling them, every time they bring it up, that we do not want the doors locked. Yet once again Marty Redman, Lynn Rosenblum, and the rest of the gang in Residential Life are swimming upstream, jumping over waterfalls, avoiding hungry bears, and such.

Opinion

Don't Wait Any Longer

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 7, 2001

When Dartmouth pledged to revamp student life, hoping to attract a more diverse and "high ability" applicant pool, it seemed that significant changes were in the works and would soon be visible. But this has not been the case.

Opinion

An Apology

By David Nicol | March 7, 2001

To the Editor: I would like to follow up on a quote attributed to me in The Dartmouth's February 28 retrospective on the Computer Science 4 incident, concerning Professor Rex Dwyer, in particular the quote: "It was clearly evident that he laid a trap." The quote is mine, but I was not a participant in the deliberations surrounding the case and am not authoritative on the issue.
