Imagine This

|

No one would run for Student Assembly President who didn't love Dartmouth. But no one would run for Student Assembly President who loved all the things about Dartmouth.


Opinion

Our College

|

For an unknown reason the students of Dartmouth College have decided that they are not important and that they cannot make a difference.

Positions Represent 2,000 Year-Old Christian Beliefs

|

To the Editor: In Thursday's issue of the D, Professor Luxon brought to our attention the faith statements of two on-campus ministries (Campus Crusade for Christ and the Navigators). He paid particular attention to the fact that both of these organizations hold that those who do not share their faith in Christ are subject to eternal damnation.

Noted Evangelist to Visit Campus This Week

|

To the Editor: One writer called Jesus, "The Irresistible Christ." How, you may ask, could a man be called irresistible whose followers throughout the centuries have slaughtered Moslems and Jews, enslaved Africans, massacred Native Americans, colonized nations, embezzled money and lied to television audiences?



Opinion

Our Assembly

|

I don't claim to have all the answers. But I do have a vision. Before I decided to run, I started to think about why I came to Dartmouth.

A Mantra of Hate and Intolerance is Not Valid

|

To the Editor: Congratulations, Mr. Hutson-Ellenberg. You have reached an unprecedented low with yesterday's letter "There is Nothing Wrong with Expressing Hatred." To suggest that of the hateful pamphlets sent to Dartmouth community members is the most ludicrous editorial I have read in The Dartmouth this year. I agree that the situation has been overblown, but to suggest that it has been misdirected in its condemnation of hate is a gross error.

Bathroom Humor

|

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.




Opinion

A Little Teamwork

|

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

|

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

Campus Ministries Reject Bigotry and Hatred

|

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.

House Editorial Displays Hypocritical Intolerance

|

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.
