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.

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

To the Editor: I am writing to apologize to the Dartmouth community for the actions of a few individuals of Psi Upsilon Fraternity on the night of Feb.

An Open Letter

By Shihwan Chung | February 22, 2001

To the Editor: On behalf of the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council and the Greek community at large, I would like to say that the incident at Psi Upsilon fraternity this weekend was absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated or condoned.

Remembering Half

By Melanie Kay | February 22, 2001

To the Editor: I've been thinking a lot about Half Zantop in the past few weeks. As a 2000 graduate and an earth sciences major, I was fortunate to get to know Half both academically and personally.

Racism and Sexism at Psi U

By Anonymous | February 22, 2001

To the Editor: I have spent the weekend thinking about an incident I witnessed on Friday, and I ultimately decided that I cannot remain silent.

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.

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.

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.

Opinion

Taking Responsibility

By Ann Miller | February 21, 2001

To the Editor: I am not connected to Dartmouth and I am not quite sure why the murders of your two professors has so disturbed me -- perhaps it is the complete "unmerited" quality to the occurrence.

Opinion

The Globe's Folly

By Betty Levin | February 21, 2001

To the Editor: Jim Zien's denunciation of the Boston Globe's irresponsible "reporting" in the letter to the editor that appeared yesterday speaks for all of us who grieve for Half and Susanne Zantop.

Opinion

Proper Procedure

By Betty Pardoe | February 21, 2001

To the Editor: I commend the authorities for sticking to the rules and not disclosing any more information than required to the media, who was pressuring them to tell all they knew, which would eventually tip off the suspects.

The Elves and the Bio Major

By Rob Valet | February 21, 2001

Dear God, please send the magical elves to set up my PCR reactions! Let me back up. I have been thinking a lot about children's stories lately (I think this is some sort of senior year regression I am suffering). In particular, I keep remembering one that my mom used to read to my sister and me many a happy childhood night, called "The Elves and the Shoemaker." The story is about a kindly old shoemaker who has fallen on hard times, and eventually he only has enough leather left to make one last pair of shoes.
