Performances Impress, Critic Disappoints

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.


Opinion

No Free Speech For Dissenters

|

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.


Opinion

Not In My Dojo

|

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.



Opinion

Student Free Speech

|

I just completed a project for my education seminar on free speech on college campuses. You can bet there were plenty of people lining up to be interviewed and each person had a very strong opinion on what the boundaries of free speech should be at Dartmouth.



Opinion

Fair Ground

|

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.


Opinion

Dean Larimore For SA President

|

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.


Opinion

Towards Responsible Speech

|

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.


Opinion

A Call to Grace and Truth

|

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.



Opinion

No Harsher

|

To the Editor: I have been attending Minimum Standards Review boards for many years as a participant and a review board member.



Opinion

A Unique Position

|

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.



Opinion

Talk, Not Chalk

|

To the Editor: Coronary heart disease is listed as a contributing cause of death in America on about 1,400,000 of 2,000,000 death certificates.


Opinion

Look To The Cookie

|

Kramer knows what's up. He's always been a few steps ahead of the rest of us. And if he were a part of Dartmouth present rather than "Seinfeld" past, he'd definitely whip us into shape, just as he's always done for Jerry, Elaine and George. In the classic engagement pact episode, Jerry and George find themselves unfulfilled by their lives, and Kramer knows exactly what they're thinking and where they're heading: "So then you asked yourselves, isn't there something more to life?" "Yes," Jerry exclaims enthusiastically.



Opinion

Missing the Point

|

To the Editor: I am a sophomore male at Princeton University and I happened upon the article "Take Back The Night -- Not Quite" by Anshu Wahi '02 (The Dartmouth, April 19th). I think this columnist has missed the entire point of Take Back the Night.
