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.



Opinion

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.


Opinion

A Travesty

|

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.



Opinion

Here's Johnny

|

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.



Opinion

Focusing on Issues

|

What have you done for me lately? That's probably the question that most students ask every spring when SA elections come around.


Opinion

Building a True SA

|

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.



Opinion

A Tale Of Two Dartmouths

|

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.



Opinion

An Institutional Responsibility

|

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.



Opinion

Toward An Ethical Media

|

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.


Opinion

Real Diversity

|

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.


Opinion

Other Greeks

|

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.
