Dissecting the D-Plan

By William Young | March 30, 2000

As a prospective student, I was initially completely drawn by Dartmouth's D-Plan. It seemed to be a unique, hassle-free plan that frees us to space out our college years in any manner we wish.

Campus Navigation

By Nancy Lai | March 29, 2000

You'd think that I'd have figured out the general orientation of the campus by now. Ah, well, that's where I have you deceived.

By the Gallon

By Rob Valet | March 29, 2000

When I returned home for spring break and began driving again I finally noticed those vaunted high gas prices--and to be honest they didn't bother or surprise me in the least. I mean, think about the immense amounts of work that have to be performed so we can keep our Ford Expeditions humming along at 15 miles a gallon.

CS4 Hearings Were a Whitewash

By Rex A. Dwyer | March 28, 2000

To the Editor: The videotape record of the March 7 orientation for participants in the Committee on Standards hearings for CS 4 will presumably include Dean James Larimore's rather bizarre injunction to all participants "to be as truthful as you are willing". More bizarre is that the committee's members apparently were less willing to acknowledge the truth than some of the accused, who, according to Marcia Kelly's statement to me in a March 2 meeting with Dean Larimore, had already confessed to their misdeeds. While two tutors apparently did offer so-called "help" to students far beyond what I could have imagined at the time I submitted my allegations, the evidence I presented focussed on obvious electronic exchange of written work, in clear violation of a clear policy included in the course syllabus.

Drivel

By Marc Fenigstein | March 28, 2000

The other night I was sitting at home, two in the morning, watching cable TV, because I have no friends and/or life.

Honorable Code

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 27, 2000

The Committee on Standards and computer science department behaved in the most appropriate manner considering the circumstances surrounding the recent cheating accusations in dismissing all charges against CS4 students.

CS4 Scandal is Appalling

By Roger Chang | March 7, 2000

To the Editor: As a student at a school with a very large computer science program, I find it appalling that a professor would send so many students in front of the honor code committee.

Ohio: A State of Confusion

By Abbye Meyer | March 7, 2000

I made a few comments a couple of weeks ago about how I hate Collis, how it scares me to death, how its strange combination of identities fascinates me.

Guns Save Lives

By David Breed | March 7, 2000

To the Editor: Regarding Joe LaBracio's editorial, ("When Will It End?, March 2), I find it troubling that the editorial failed to mention several key pieces of information which may well change the conclusion a reader comes to with regard to guns and school violence. Consider this: In the Pearl, Mississippi incident to which you refer, teacher Joel Myric heard the shots being fired, ran a quarter-mile from the school to his car, retrieved his legally owned handgun and ran back to the school.

The Demolition of Dartmouth College

By Allen Fromherz | March 6, 2000

"On New-Years eve, the year was [seven-teen] eighty-nine, All clad in black, a Dartmouth college crew with crow-bar, sledge, and pick ax did combine to level with the dust their antique hall, In hopes the president would build a new..." In 1789, all was new.

Playing Politics

By Dan Galemba | March 3, 2000

As the candidates begin to focus on pivotal states such as New York and California, lots of things have been made clear to me that weren't revealed during the embryonic stages of the primary we witnessed here in New Hampshire.

Phi Delt Derecognition

By Martin W. Redman | March 3, 2000

An open letter to the Dartmouth community: As you may be aware, Phi Delta Alpha Fraternity's recognition as an organization has been suspended indefinitely effective March 2, 2000.

The Thicker Bubble

By Dan Pollock | March 2, 2000

When it comes to improving race relations, America seems to be taking baby steps. The acquittal of four New York City police officers, accused of killing Amadou Diallo, a West-African immigrant, gives strength to arguments that 21st century police officers are only marginally different from their 20th century counterparts.

When Will It End?

On January 18, 1993 at Grayson High School in Grayson, Kentucky, a 17-year old shot and killed a teacher and a custodian.

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.

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.
