Were the Zantops Targeted?

By Robert K. Stoddard | February 12, 2001

To the Editor: Although I never knew the Zantops and never attended Dartmouth, I grew up in Newport, NH, only 30-some miles from you and today I live at the edge of the Stanford campus where the Zantops were students in the 60's.

By Rebekka Brooks | February 9, 2001

I've heard rumors that the intensity with which students celebrate the Winter Carnival holiday is in decline -- that it might soon dip dangerously low, like the skin temperature of a Polar Bear swimmer.

Lest the Old Traditions Fail...

By Shihwan Chung | February 9, 2001

At a school proud of its long and storied history, Winter Carnival is yet another tradition in the unique "Dartmouth Experience" that drew many of us to this frozen patch of land in the Upper Connecticut River Valley.

Celebrating a Legacy

By Nick Morinigo | February 8, 2001

In 1980 a melancholy America needed inspiration. Americans were being held hostage by revolutionaries in Iran, the economy was sputtering, tensions with the Soviet Union were high, and the wounds of Watergate and Vietnam were not yet healed.

Work Hard, Play Hard

By Ki Mae Heussner | February 7, 2001

Work hard, play hard." It's the college mantra of which we're all so proud. It's what we say to lure in undecided prospectives, it's what we tell potential employers to justify our absence from the upper Ivies, and its how we redeem our No.

Appalachian Trail

By Anonymous | February 7, 2001

To the Editor: I am writing out of concern for the investigation into the Zantop murders. From what I have been able to gather from the news, it seems that neither a viable suspect nor even a viable motive has been established.

A Printing Fiasco

By Jonah Stulberg | February 6, 2001

Public printing has always been a free service provided by Dartmouth. It is a luxury that most students take for granted, but it is also a luxury in danger of being taken away.

Parents' Reaction

By Dean William Naka | February 6, 2001

Regarding Woodbury

By Christopher Bowen | February 6, 2001

To the Editor: There are times when I don't entirely understand Dartmouth College. Despite the fact that the one issue that the administration and students agree on is the need for more undergraduate housing, the College is going to renovate Woodbury Hall, now vacated by the graduate students thanks to the completion of Whittemore, and turn it into office space.

God Bless America!

By Matt Soriano | February 6, 2001

My father takes us on a LOT of vacations to exotic locales. He does this because he couldn't survive two weeks in a foreign country without somebody with a command of simple division to convert foreign prices into dollars, a memory for airlines, code-sharing agreements, flight numbers, and time zones.

Random Crime

By Ethe Lee | February 5, 2001

To the Editor: I have no connection with Dartmouth (wish I did), but I've been following this tragic but unusual and fascinating case and your excellent coverage. I just saw a news report that the police are stopping cars and asking folks if they saw anything.
