The Globe Responds

By Matthew V. Storin | February 26, 2001

To the Editor: I am writing in response to a letter from Alexis Jetter, who, it would seem, would like to assign a role for herself and Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz in our decision to print a front page retraction regarding a story about the Zantop murder.

Covering the Globe

By Alexis Jetter | February 23, 2001

To the Editor: You gave the Boston Globe a free ride in your coverage of its retraction of the "adulterous affair" story it concocted last week about the murders of Half and Susanne Zantop.

Remembering Dana Meadows

By Bob Conn | February 23, 2001

Treatment by the Press

By Dr. Lynda B. Williams | February 23, 2001

To the Editor: Now that we are "old news," I am writing to publicly object to the tactics of reporters from The Dartmouth, the Boston Globe and Herald who were seeking to sensationalize the Zantop tragedy.

Apology is Not Enough

A Need for Change

By Eleanor Leahy | February 23, 2001

I wanted to add my voice to a rising collective one about an incident that occurred this past Friday night on our campus. Wednesday morning in the Good Morning Message, a newsletter email that many students receive, an anonymous student posted a thoroughly concerning letter.

A Racist and Sexist Mindset

By Lauren Foley | February 23, 2001

To the Editor: I would like to challenge the apparent belief of the majority of Dartmouth campus that the act of a few of the Psi U brothers on Friday night, does not reflect the prevalent attitude of the entire house.

Greeks Must Improve

By Omar Rashid | February 23, 2001

Mediatitis

By Audrey McCollum | February 22, 2001

I was a curious child, quick with words, and hoping to become a journalist. But a parent's mental illness diverted my curiosity toward psychology.

Too Much Pity for Suspects

By Deena Grant | February 22, 2001

To the Editor: I am not connected with your community. In fact I live miles and miles away, but I have been affected by what I've been reading concerning the Zantop murders, as I'm sure millions of us are. It is a tragic, tragic event that has surrounded your community recently and I can't claim to know what the people closely involved with this are feeling. Mostly, I have been struck with the number of interviewees connected with suspects that proclaim how "uncharacteristic" it would be for these two to have committed this crime.

An Open Letter

By Michael Holick | February 22, 2001

An Open Letter

Remembering Half

By Melanie Kay | February 22, 2001

Racism and Sexism at Psi U

The Truck Driver

By Kathe Burlage | February 22, 2001

To the Editor: Yes, it is unfortunate that the truck driver lost his job. As my son is a member of the Dartmouth community, I feel sad for this man who has helped so many feel comfort if these suspects are found guilty.

Opinion

I Take Offense

By Dan Galemba | February 22, 2001

I take offense. I take offense to how everyone takes offense to everything. And I take offense to how many of the people who read this column will take offense to it. Dartmouth is on the more conservative side of the spectrum as far as colleges go, but that doesn't make it free from the paranoia plaguing the entire society.

Guilt Must Be Proven

By Jacqui Frank | February 21, 2001

To the Editor: I have to agree with one of the moms that these teenagers are innocent until proven guilty.

Opinion

Common Sense

By Alyce Henness | February 21, 2001

To the Editor: I think it's really sad that in this day and age incidents such as those cited at the beginning of the article on January 24th, "Queers and Beers," still take place.
