Misguided Aid

By Rev. Paul A. Terry | April 6, 2001

To the Editor: The new policy is surprisingly disappointing on the point of excluding current financial aid recipients and giving aid only to incoming students.

Us and Them

By Dan Rothfarb | April 6, 2001

The controversy over lawsuits demanding reparations for descendants of black slaves in America is growing every day, but it seems that the subject is currently too hot to touch, at least in print.

Controversy or Discourse?

By Ivan Cestero | April 5, 2001

The Dartmouth chose recently to be among the many US college newspapers not to run David Horowitz's full page ad entitled "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea -- and Racist Too." They ran instead, on March 28th, Rachel Osterman's article, "Ad Sparks Campus Controversy." Although the article described some of the reasons why "Ten Reasons" has caused such an uproar, it presented the ad in anything but an objective light.

A Rude Awakening

By Andrew Haringer | April 5, 2001

As I sat here during my off term trying to decide which lucky topic would provide the focus of this scintillating op-ed, I came to a sobering conclusion: I don't have any opinions.

Trouble on the South China Sea

By Dan Pollock | April 4, 2001

Our new President is incredibly adept at making self-fulfilling prophecies. First, there were his negative comments about the economy for over a year during the presidential campaign, which may have actually helped to slow down the economy.

Freedom of Expression

By Maria Borzsony | April 4, 2001

To the Editor: Your decision not to run David Horowitz's ad based upon your view that it is both inflammatory and offensive is a smack in the face of the first amendment that smarts lovers of free speech everywhere.

All About My Mittens

By Elizabeth Walter | April 4, 2001

I've composed many a thoughtful letter, random essay or heated rant in my head while trying to drift off to sleep, but I tend to be too lazy to get up and actually jot down my perfected thoughts.

A Lucky C+

By Abbye Meyer | April 3, 2001

I made sure to stick my lucky pennies into my backpack before walking to my only final exam last term.

A Piece Of My Mind

By Nancy Lai | April 3, 2001

Today's column is comprised of a series of unrelated, or at most, tenuously related topics. (By acknowledging the lack of coherence in this article, I render your -- the reader's -- observation that "this article is merely comprised of a series of unrelated, or at most, tenuously related topics" irrelevant, redundant, and downright obnoxious.) Why?

Why I Love America

By Samuel Gontha | April 2, 2001

As an international student I am often asked: "Why are you here in the U.S.?" This is a natural question, and usually it takes me some head scratching and a minute to figure out why I am 12 time zones away from home.

On Reparations

By Pamela A. Hairston | April 2, 2001

To the Editor: For the past two years or so, I've been following the often heated and controversial issue of reparations for slavery, and I feel across the nation, most white folks are vehemently against reparations of any sort.

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.
