How America Failed

By Steven A. Zyck | January 24, 2001

To the Editor: Becca Freeman's column "Incensed" was logical and well written, though it missed the boat on the issue of abortion.

Can you Spare $40K?

By Rob Valet | January 24, 2001

Way back in my adolescent years in scenic Brockport, NY (population 10,013, or 10,014 once Darlene has her baby, assuming the Johnson boy survives that tractor accident), I recall hunting through the video store with one of my friends and finding a movie called "Hey brother, can you spare $10,000,000?" The plot of the movie was that this investor had lost the titular sum of money, and had to panhandle or something to get it back (after gathering this much from the box, I figured I understood the movie well enough to not actually bother renting it). I admit I haven't thought much about that movie in the intervening years, but somehow the picture on the cover depicting a Wall-street type dressed in a suit, holding out a change cup, keeps popping into my head lately.

Incensed

By Becca Freeman | January 23, 2001

I am incensed by Conor Dugan's article, "The Devil Incarnate?" and would like to address some of his opinions.

A Question of Security

By Matt Soriano | January 23, 2001

On January 16th, I read off the CNN.com website that, amid hyped up reports of a cancer-like "Balkans syndrome" among some residents of Kosovo, Vojislav Kostunica accused the NATO alliance of having a "depleted conscience" for its use of depleted uranium weapons in its 1999 air offensive.

Pardon Me?

By Randy Stebbins | January 22, 2001

Last Friday, in the waning hours of his tenure, Secretary of Defense William Cohen released a report effectively exonerating the Navy's chain of command, and the ship's commander, of responsibility in the terrorist attack on the USS Cole last October in Yemen.

Fun With Freshmen

By Jourdan Abel | January 19, 2001

I snuck into the '04 Revelation Dinner on Tuesday night. I am, in fact, a sophomore, but I thought I needed some revealing and the dinner sounded cool and we didn't have one when I was a freshman, so I decided that it would be beneficial to all involved parties (and my stomach) for me to attend.

Consequences of Change

By Dan McConville | January 18, 2001

Dartmouth is a good school. In fact, it's a great school. Sometimes people get wrapped up in rankings and forget what the college's liberal arts program is all about.

Bushwhacked

By Jennifer Bowman | January 18, 2001

I write to you as I enjoy my off term in Memphis, TN working for the Blues Foundation. I arrived at work early the other day, as I do every morning, so that I could check my BlitzMail and read the "D" before my boss arrives.

Alcohol Behavior

By Andrew Grossman | January 17, 2001

To the Editor: I applaud Professor Randy-Michael Testa's proposal that the College get "serious about reforming alcohol behavior" and remove fraternities' pong tables, post haste. Professor Testa may be unaware, however, that some students use dice, certain television shows, and other means to similar ends.

Opinion

The Devil Incarnate?

By Conor Dugan | January 17, 2001

It seems that a new doctrine is being forged in Washington D.C. Applicants for public office who are conservative, pro-life, or religiously orthodox need not apply.

Snow and the City

By Linda Romano | January 17, 2001

Right before I left home to come back to Dartmouth for winter term, it snowed in the city (New York City, that is, for all of you who have deluded yourselves into thinking that "the city" means anything else). And it's a good thing it snowed, because for the five days prior to the event (which, for the rest of this vignette, shall be known by its formal name THE STORM OF THE CENTURY), the news was chock-full of snow-related news and commentary. I am almost 100 percent sure that all sorts of interesting and important things happened all around the world in the week following Christmas, but I wouldn't know about any of them.

Local Politics

By Jon Schroeder | January 16, 2001

The subject of the Greek system is a touchy issue, at best. We all know the arguments, but I will hazard to rehash them.

A Distributive Fiasco

By Abbye Meyer | January 16, 2001

The greatest accomplishment of my career in math and science at Dartmouth, I believe, was being yelled at for talking in a 200-person lecture class.

The Energy of Abraham

By Hemant Joshi | January 15, 2001

Of President-elect Bush's selections for cabinet posts, Sen. John Ashcroft has received the most attention, particularly for his conservative record on abortion and his questionable handling of racial issues in his state of Missouri.

Testa's Indignation

By Doug Bachman | January 15, 2001

To the Editor: Retching bent over see-through bags already draped in skeins of vomit, toking then chugging, then toking while chugging, staggering over row upon row of foam-topped fermented barley mouthwash brimmed for the bob splash of an incoming pong ball--I've been there, done that, seen that done ad nauseum.

I'm Off

By Abby Horowitz | January 12, 2001

They told me all the fabulous features of the off term: all these wonderful internship opportunities just waiting to be snatched up by capable Dartmouth students.
