Bathroom Humor

By Jeff Deck | April 9, 1999

After its long hiatus, few people should be surprised to see that this column has gone down the toilet. I'd like to address a place that we visit every day, and yet has somehow become a taboo subject for editorials--the bathroom.

Cowardly Mail has not Ruined "Inclusive Community"

By Dartmouth Hillel | April 8, 1999

To the Dartmouth Community: Just before the Passover holiday, several Dartmouth students and administrators received offensive cartoons attacking Judaism and homosexuality from a group pretending to espouse Christian ethics.

Opinion

Campus Groups Believe in "Damnation of Unbelievers"

By Thomas H. Luxon | April 8, 1999

To the Editor: In light of Wednesday's letters to The D, I wish to make a small but important observation about the two campus ministries frequently mentioned in recent news stories and letters to the Editor -- The Navigators and Campus Crusade for Christ.

Opinion

A Little Teamwork

By Dave Gacioch | April 8, 1999

C'mon, I mean how often do you read a column in this publication dedicated to how well the College administration (or at least some small part thereof) has worked with students in pursuit of a student goal?

Opinion

More to Hate Speech than the Right of Expression

By Matthew D. Benedetto | April 8, 1999

To the Editor: How disturbing and infuriating to read the self-exalted sophistry and thinly veiled homophobia of Noah Hutson-Ellenberg's editorial of April 7 ["There is Nothing Wrong with Expressing Hatred"]. Rather than encourage a campus climate for the freeplay of ideas, Hutson-Ellenberg legitimates hate-speech that closes off discussion, that cowers behind the anonymity of HB mailings, that resorts to crude and offensive bigotry.

Opinion

Sabotage of Campus Crusade for Christ Possible

By Dan Foster | April 8, 1999

To the Editors: I was distressed to read about the recent hate mail incident on the Dartmouth campus.

Opinion

Campus Ministries Reject Bigotry and Hatred

By To the Editor: | April 8, 1999

To the Editor: As members of the campus ministry group of the Tucker Foundation and as individual leaders of student religious organizations, we decry and condemn the religious tracts, and their distribution, which have been received by many members of our community -- gays, lesbians and bisexuals, Jews, Christians, many persons of integrity and good faith.

Intrahouse Dating Prevalent in Coed Fraternties

By Sheila J. Gastiger | April 8, 1999

To the Editor: I have heard of the recent announcement by Dartmouth regarding its fraternities and sororities.

The Right to Offend Does not Make it Right

By Scott Brown | April 7, 1999

To the Editor: During the past week, an anonymous person or group sent offensive and hateful publications to religious advisors and student leaders on campus.

Opinion

By Campus Christian Groups | April 7, 1999

To the Editor: As the student leaders of Christian groups on campus, we denounce the tracts sent to various campus leaders last week as extremely offensive, hurtful and insensitive.

Opinion

House Editorial Displays Hypocritical Intolerance

By Joshua Marks | April 7, 1999

To the Editor: I am writing in response to your editorial piece on April 6. You stated that, and I quote: "Hate and intolerance have no place at Dartmouth, and those who feel the need to force their beliefs on others need to get the picture that such behavior is not welcomed here.

Opinion

There is Nothing Wrong With Expressing Hatred

By Noah Hutson-Ellenberg | April 7, 1999

To the Editor: The reactions of the Dartmouth Editorial Board and Chris LaBarbera ("Christ is not a Bigot," April 6) to the recent antihomosexual and anti-Jewish mailings are childish and silly.

Opinion

An Unrepresentative Body

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 7, 1999

The University of Pennsylvania is currently a dry campus, much to the dismay of its students. The decision was made unilaterally, and with no student input.

Opinion

Human Beings Have an Inviolable Dignity

By Kevin Walsh | April 7, 1999

To the Editor: I read the recent guest column by Abigail Marsh '99 with a mixture of amusement and disbelief. I was amused by the accusations against a D columnist for 'logical fallacies' in the context of a piece that itself is a shining example of ad hominem argument.

Opinion

Mailing Betrays the True Message of Christianity

By Craig Parker | April 7, 1999

Dear Editor: As advisor to the Navigators Christian Fellowship, I also was personally targeted by the unknown "Chick Tract" sender [godlovesdartmuth@hotmail.com]. The booklet I received accused Christians who are not evangelical enough (like me, I guess) of betraying the faith. As one who cares deeply about the expression of the gospel of Jesus Christ in contemporary culture, and now as one who is being apparently impugned in that endeavor, I absolutely decry the usage of such literature.

A Response

By Marcia Yablon | April 7, 1999

As I sat down to read The Dartmouth at lunch on Monday, the headline "Hate mailings target gays, Jews" caught my eye.

Christ is not a Bigot

By Chris LaBarbera | April 6, 1999

Easter Sunday. A gorgeous, sunny morn- ing. The cool breeze reminds me that it is April, but the sun makes me hear the birds chirping, the trees reflourishing; warmth and life is once again renewed. I celebrated mass as a performer with Aquinas House this morning, playing with the church orchestra.

Fight Back

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 6, 1999

Hate and intolerance have no place at Dartmouth, and those who feel the need to force their beliefs on others need to get the picture that such behavior is not welcomed here.

Procrastination is the Mother of Invention

By Jeff Deck | April 5, 1999

I've been wanting to write this editorial for a long time -- but I've been putting it off. So you are a bright college student.

Opinion

A Slippery Slope Indeed!

By Abigail Marsh | April 5, 1999

Though I do not advocate censorship, it would delight me beyond measure were The Dartmouth to forestall printing any future articles by Conor Dugan '00 until he has demonstrated himself fit to write an editorial displaying some manner, any manner, of logical or coherent argument.
