A Message to the Dartmouth Community

By James Larimore | March 1, 2000

To the Editor: As you may know, a faculty member in Computer Science has raised concerns about possible violations of the Academic Honor Principle with respect to an assignment in one of his classes. The Academic Honor Principle states that: "Fundamental to the principle of independent learning are the requirements of honesty and integrity in the performance of academic assignments." Because we know that the Dartmouth Community cares deeply about this principle, we wanted to provide as much information as we can at this time about these issues, consistent with our obligations to protect student confidentiality and conduct a fair process of investigation and, where appropriate, hearing. As of the present time, the Undergraduate Judicial Affairs Officer has received allegations concerning possible violations by a total of 78 students in this class.

ORL Room Draw

By Rob Valet | March 1, 2000

I for one am quite excited about the upcoming ORL room application season. Or at least I was until I got my housing number, which is 1918, and the '01s start at 1100.

Whining Gimp

By Jourdan Abel | February 29, 2000

Sledding is the root of all the world's problems. Forget crime, hunger, and violence. I have determined that sledding is the devil.

Gore's Deceit

By Conor Dugan | February 29, 2000

This political season has perhaps been the most interesting in our short lives. The hard fight for the Republican nomination and the possibility (as two well-known political analysts suggest) that it won't be decided until the GOP convention have provided the greatest dose of excitement.

Professor's Duties

By Christopher Moore | February 28, 2000

Alex Wilson's editorial in the 2/22 issue of The Dartmouth should be commended for well articulating the need for student choice and freedom in the face of the College's proposed increases in bureaucracy and social control.

Attack On Dubya

By Grant Bosse | February 28, 2000

As a Dartmouth graduate, I enjoy checking the latest campus news and commentary each morning in the "D" on-line edition.

Asian Assault Committee

By Susan Marine | February 28, 2000

I am writing to correct misinformation provided in the 2/25 article, "Asian Council Creates Assault Committee" written by Ritika Nandkeolyar. In this article, Nandkeolyar paraphrases me as having said that in the early years of collecting demographic statistics, I "defined Asian students as those who were East Asian -- members of the Korean, Japanese and Chinese communities.". This is neither an accurate portrayal of the term "east Asian" nor an accurate portrayal of the way I have collected demographics in this area.

A Pacific Perspective

By Meredith Kessler | February 28, 2000

For the past two months, we, and five other Dartmouth students, have been teaching and influencing children and their community on a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, experiencing firsthand what the education department has taught us.

A Death Knell for Dartmouth

By Mrs. Peter Saint Germain | February 25, 2000

To the Editor: As a parent of a current dartmouth student and as a member of a family which has long held Dartmouth in affection and esteem, I have been following the discussions of the Student Life Initiative with interest.

The Beach

By Nancy Lai | February 25, 2000

Last Saturday, I saw a certain special movie it was "Titanic meets Lord of the Flies meets Full Metal Jacket meets the Swiss Family Robinson." Also known as, "Hollywood's Homage to Leo: A Lesson in Prepubescent Lust and Big Ticket Sales." The movie formerly known as "The Beach" is a film of "stunning cinematic brilliance." Hum.

Exclusivity

By Liam Kuhn | February 25, 2000

It's no secret that I've criticized Dartmouth College in the past. But it has always been under the guise of tough love; like a mother reproachfully scolding her child in public or a monkey chewing the gnats out of another monkey's fur -- it's not always pretty, but it's done for the sake of improvement.

Interviewing a Big Shot: Chilly in California

By Christopher Moore | February 23, 2000

I twisted my own arm; I was to interview the world's "most interesting living philosopher." While I had no particularly pressing questions to ask him, nor had I any special experience or acumen in "talking shop" with a famous academic and political revolutionary, a transcribed tte--tte seemed apropos. In the course catalogue of one West Coast university, one particular class caught my eye.

One Fish, Two Fish

By Eric Del Pozo | February 23, 2000

If there were one thing I could say I've learned recently, it would be that one really has to watch what one says around fish.

Problems with the SLI

By Nick Swogger | February 22, 2000

To the Editor, I have followed the Trustee Initiative since its inception. As a member of the Greek community, and a former resident of Hanover, I feel the need to point out a few problems with the plan. First, this is the first attempt by the administration to "fix" the system.

A Slippery Slope

By Abbye Meyer | February 22, 2000

If Jerry Seinfeld ever came to Dartmouth, probably the first thing he would say is, "So what's the deal with Collis?" Truly, it's a building with an identity crisis.
