Turning the Channel on Lippmann

By Matthew D. Benedetto | January 28, 2000

To the Editor: As the student representative to the College Committee on Cable and as someone who has invested over 1.5 years to the cable question here at Dartmouth, I honestly shy away from dignifying, with a response, Wesley Lippman's painfully limited and myopic letter to the editor of January 26.

Can You Talk the Talk?

By Jeff Deck | January 27, 2000

If you think about it -- and I mean, not even heavily think about it, which I tend to avoid doing anyway -- the strangest aspect of our lives is communication.

What's the Difference?

By Edward Mallet | January 26, 2000

To the Editor: At Princeton, the unregulated Eating Clubs for the two upper classes have "Bicker" for what we call Rush, and the clubs have venerable cultures and reputations -- jock clubs, geek clubs, clubs for folks who say they don't believe in clubs, etc. At Yale, the heavy, discriminatory selectivity is in the junior year for places in the Senior Societies which polkadot the campus with their Tombs.

Did You Forget?

By Jeffrey Fine | January 25, 2000

This article was motivated, in part, by Ryan Carey's article in a recent issue of The Dartmouth. Mr. Carey wrote, "I've been struck at the lack of attention paid to the rest of the report." I would like to extend Mr. Carey's comments even further.

Stopping Time

By Abbye Meyer | January 25, 2000

A few days ago, a friend of mine said he'd stop time just to watch TV. Granted, it sounded pretty stupid, but as I had just spent the day running around, dealing with too many classes and trying to fit in too many unnecessary activities, I knew exactly what he meant. Don't we all wish for stupid things like extra time to watch TV?

McCain for President

By Kathleen E. Reeder | January 21, 2000

To the Editor: It's my impression that many college students don't care about politics. We've grown up with tales of Watergate and lived through "Zippergate". We've heard stump speeches, policy discussion, and ideological debates from all sides.

Seton Hall Tragedy

By James Killmond | January 21, 2000

To the Editor: I applaud your timely and thorough coverage of the fire at Seton Hall. The excuses that Dartmouth College offers for failing to install sprinklers in all dormitories are unconvincing.

Let me start by acknowledging some very good points in the SLI report. The report successfully addressed the conspicuous need for a variety of new facilities and social spaces on campus.

I've never been the type of guy anyone would describe as "brimming with self-confidence." In fact, I can be downright shy in many situations.

Bargaining Chips

By Dan Pollock | January 19, 2000

In 1979 a group of Iranians took 55 Americans hostage at the US embassy in Teheran. For nearly a year, the world held its breath as American citizens were paraded around with blindfolds on their faces.

Papal Insight

By Conor Dugan | January 19, 2000

Pope John Paul II is perhaps the most known and visible man alive today. And as George Weigel, papal biographer, has argued, he is perhaps the most misunderstood.

Inconsistency
