An Apology

By Rohin Dhar | June 29, 2000

To the Editor, Early Sunday morning, we committed an act deeply offensive to the brothers of Alpha Chi Alpha, the family of David Wolfson '92, the Dartmouth Community, and uncountable others. At around four that morning, our judgement clouded by alcohol and our sight impaired by darkness, we cut down a small tree, unaware of its emotional significance.

Camp Dartmouth

By Liam Kuhn | June 27, 2000

So this is it, the fabled sophomore summer. The highlight of life in Hanover. The crowning jewel of the oft-maligned D-Plan.

The End of a Culinary Era

By Rob Valet | June 23, 2000

In case you missed the article in the D (motto: "A smattering of world news plus all the CS4 and Phi Delt derecognition stories you can stand"), Westside is closing next fall.

The Dumbest Girl at Dartmouth

By Nicole Leiser | June 23, 2000

Have you ever sat in a class and thought to yourself, "I must be the dumbest person in this entire college?" Have you ever tried to write a paper, knowing that you will get absolutely no feedback on your work, other than a grade that is probably lower than you expected? Okay, maybe it's just me, but sometimes I feel like everyone is smarter than I am and that I have absolutely no clue when it comes to academia.

My Dartmouth - A Rant

By Paul Holzer | May 31, 2000

Work Hard Play Hard," our patented phrase: many hours dormant spirit, 10 hours intense fun, easy stimuli, destructive lifestyle, hyper-intense social situations, intense gender relations, destruction to community with the help of alcohol, insufficient social education, malleable freshmen, status quo crap, defend the right to WHAT?, ridiculous t-shirts, crisis in community, strive to be Harvard, (Strive to be DARTMOUTH Dammit!) run like a business, buy the best professors, pass over the best teachers, kill education department, bite the hand that feeds you, faculty AT Dartmouth not IN Dartmouth, academic institution, social issues not allowed in classroom, not the place for it, no consilience, no mission, no push for growth, heart and mind not connecting, scrutiny of interdisciplinary, learning only to forget, not real learning, no introspection, no reflection, need opportunities to own the class material, the North Face, power of the groups to keep the mold, Dartmouth: the dysfunctional family, pride in teaching, no teacher assessment, 10 weeks discontinuity, social comfort zones, teach self segregation, stupid frat stuff, high school mentality, no responsibility, Coed Fraternity Sorority Council, representing WHAT Greek community?

A Stand Against Intolerance

By Jonathan Hollander | May 31, 2000

To the Editor: I went to Yvette Schneider's presentation last week and, as someone involved in the planning for the pre-talk rally in front of Dartmouth Hall and the Candlelight Vigil for closeted students and allies that night, I came ready to listen and ready to question.

College Friends

By Jourdan Abel | May 30, 2000

I find it not so ironic that not only are you near Cuba in geographic origination, but you are on a strikingly similar level to said country in your desire for the destruction of the democratic principles on which this country was founded -- liberty and justice for all." I received this blitz from a friend after telling him that I would not write my last and final column of the year about him.

Dartmouth's Shame

By Emmett Hogan | May 30, 2000

I am ashamed to be a student at Dartmouth. There will probably be few moments in my life when I will ever feel this way; indeed, this is the first time I've ever been ashamed of my school.

Exploitation

By Robert D. Sutton | May 30, 2000

To the Editor: In her Friday column, "The Problems of Global Capitalism," Jessica Marshall asserted that "Human exploitation is not one of the central themes of socialism; it is however a basic principle of capitalism." Although this is a nice summary of the Communist Manifesto, it is the complete opposite of reality. Capitalism regards "workers" -- indeed, all individuals -- as ends in themselves, whose cooperation must be obtained voluntarily.

Honoring the Day

By Kevin P. Donahue | May 29, 2000

To the Editor: In the past I have expressed my disapproval for the manner in which the College handles the Veteran's Day federal holiday, and today I find myself doing so because of the arguably worse treatment of Memorial Day.

Divided You Fall

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 29, 2000

With their recent announcement to formally separate from the Coed Fraternity Sorority Council, the sisters of Tri-Delt have issued a wake-up call to the Greek community but have failed to adequately explain their reasoning. This action should not go unexplained.

By Randy Stebbins | May 26, 2000

The Hovey murals in the basement of Thayer Hall were painted between 1937 and 1939. Seven years after they were finished, John Trudell was born in Nebraska.
