To the Editor: I couldn't help but notice an interesting phrase quoted in the recent article "Controversy Surrounds Voces Guest Speaker." The Dartmouth quoted a BlitzMail message from Voces Clamantium that said "But we believe that Mrs. Schneider represents one perspective that is held by many people at Dartmouth but almost never voiced in a public forum.

The thing I like most about big weekends, especially Green Key, is that everyone seems to be having fun.

I am writing to provide my perspective on the upcoming May 23rd talk by Yvette Schneider. Schneider will be addressing the question, "Can homosexuals change their orientation?" Yvette Schneider claims to have spent six years as a "practicing lesbian and homosexual rights advocate" before becoming a Christian and "exiting the homosexual lifestyle." She now speaks out against the "homosexual activist agenda" and reaches out to those still "trapped" in that lifestyle, according to the information on the so-called "Family Research Council" website. This talk is sponsored by Voces Clamantium, and is receiving College monies.

I visited the Scottish Isle of Arran with friends I'd met while on the English FSP at the University of Glasgow.
Philosophically, we disagree with the introduction of freshman-only housing into the Dartmouth community.

As juniors we got to see the on-campus job recruiters this spring, about four months earlier than in previous years.
