Consequences for Actions

By Mark Pruner | March 2, 2001

To the Editor: Inappropriate actions should have consequences. If Psi Upsilon fraternity doesn't stand for racism and sexism, then they should remove those members whose actions are inappropriate.

No Slavery Parallel

By Eric Dahlberg | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: I am writing this in response to the article written by Leah Threatte '01, that appeared on Wednesday, February 28, 2001: The auction about which Ms. Threatte has complained was a community-service activity to raise funds for Upper Valley charities, as she herself states. From the sounds of it, this event had nothing to do with the issue of slavery or race, except insofar as it was called an "auction." While I agree with Ms. Threatte that slavery was a terrible chapter in American history, I fail to see the connection she is making between a community service event intended to benefit the poor with the African slave trade.

Loss of Privacy

By Allison MacDonald | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: In the fall of my senior year, I attended an informal Safety and Security meeting in my cluster -- a sort of question/answer/scare the 'shmen kind of thing.

Some Real Action, Please!

By Bernette Tsai | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: To add to Liam Kuhn's editorial which ran on Feb. 26, "Deeds, Not Just Words," I would like to insert some of my own experiences as a Dartmouth senior one term away from graduation.

Frat Boys and Cheating

By Tim Kennedy | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: I applaud Ms. Peric's opening statement, "So it's not exactly 'Naked News,' but it's still the prototypical lazy frat boy's dream come true," from her recent article (A Whole New Breed of Cheating), for boldly going where no one has gone before and taking a cheap shot at fraternity members.

Door Locks are Impractical

By Justin P. Isariyawongse | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: Before any discussion of door locks can proceed, I want to call into question Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman's logic in citing the primary student concern as "having access to each other's residence halls." While this is certainly a novel, hardly ancillary concern that emerges from the consideration of door locks, the controversy of the issue extends much further than universal dorm access. We are all aware of the attempts by the Office of Residential Life to discourage malice come Homecoming, Winter Carnival, and Green Key.

Progress Slow but Steady

By David S. Cohen | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: Back in 1992, a few of the anti-Greek members of Panarchy had an idea to form a separate residential system as a pro-active way to dismantle the Greek system.

Easy to Take Offense

By Greg Brandes | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: While reading Ms. Threatte's column regarding her singlehanded crusade to put an end to all charity auctions, I couldn't help but applaud.

Police Have Done Well

By Nicholas L. Feakins | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: Reading the descriptions of the Zantop murders in the press took me back to 30 years ago, when I was a young Marine Corps JAG lawyer involved in the trial of a similar, equally brutal, double murder.

Like Scared Birds

By Jared Alessandroni | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: I'm glad that the College has decided to lock all the bathroom doors for female students, and lock all the outer doors in a prompt and decisive response to the recent rash of violence towards females and students in general, especially in their dorms.

A Letter from Chelsea

By Wanda Jackson | March 1, 2001

To the Editor: I ache for the loss, of the Zantops, to your community. I remember clearly my horror after hearing the news and my fear that the person or people who could commit such a crime were still out there somewhere.

Man of the People

By Nick Morinigo | March 1, 2001

Throughout his career, Bill Clinton has championed himself as the politician who gives a voice to the underrepresented little guy.
