The Dartmouth's Coverage

January 31, 2001

To the Editor: I wanted to express my extreme disappointment at The Dartmouth's handling of the "Breaking News" of the deaths of Professors Susanne and Half Zantop. I feel that it was extremely inappropriate for The D to send an e-mail to the entire school at 12:15 on a Saturday night.

Remembering an Inspiration

By Craig Colfelt | January 31, 2001

To the Editor: Somber greetings from a Dartmouth alumnus in London who has been following the terrible news of the Zantops' death. In reading the news stories online, it occurred to me that the Zantops' neighbors Audrey and Robert McCollum were among the few people in a position to discuss what had happened to their friends.

The First Day in Hanover

By Jim Reynolds | January 30, 2001

In the late winter of 1976, my mentor, Dr. Richard E. "Dick" Stoiber, asked my wife, Haidee, and me to accompany him on a trip to Montreal to pick up the new economic geologist, Dr. Half Zantop, his wife Susanne, and their two young daughters.

Dealing with Death

By Jon Schroeder | January 30, 2001

In a situation that requires solemnity, such as this one, people surround themselves with displays of emotion, just as I did when my grandfather died, just as anyone would.

Junk Food is Cool

By Abbye Meyer | January 30, 2001

Sometimes, all you need is a Devil Dog. Or a Suzy-Q. Or pizza. Or some peanut butter. I guess I'm not too picky; as long as it's junk food, it's pretty much great, and it can make a bad day so much better. It all seems so obvious, how great junk food is.

New and Inclusive?

By Hemant Joshi | January 29, 2001

It's okay to be a gay Republican, provided no one in the party knows about it. This was essentially the position endorsed by Republicans at an inaugural event designed to promote inclusion of gays in its ranks.

Ashamed

By Nancy Lai | January 26, 2001

I am ashamed. I am ashamed that during my junior year of high school I bought one of the earliest 'N Sync singles (FYI, the song's "I Want You Back"). I am ashamed that I sometimes crave liver.

Wake Up!

By Amy Schnitzer | January 26, 2001

There are people in Hanover who are starving. I'm not talking about poverty in the Upper Valley. No, I'm talking about eating disorders and disordered eating.

Reduced to Rhetoric

By Dan Rothfarb | January 25, 2001

I'd like to share my thoughts on what it means to be President of the United States. A President should serve as an exemplar of dignity, integrity, honesty, and a lot of other Republican catch phrases that aren't in Article II of the Constitution. Oh heck, let's stop kidding ourselves once and for all: the office of the President has been an object of ridicule off and on since it was created, and nonstop since the early 1970s.

Sell Yourself!

By Dan Galemba | January 25, 2001

The first official Dartmouth students began their studies in 1769. Four years later they were unleashed upon the world, ready and willing to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge they had acquired.

Lock, Stock & Barrel

By Jr. and Leila Welch | January 25, 2001

To the Editor: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that The Dartmouth had verbal permission to take photos of our display case of handguns for your article "Do guns kill?

Just Beyond

By Mara Tieken | January 24, 2001

I do love Dartmouth. I love seeing the tower above the treeline as I approach exit 13 on 91. I love the quiet reverence of the Tower Room.

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.
