Should the Greek System Go? Yes

By Josh Green | April 27, 1999

Last Sunday, a friend suggested that I ap- ply to be on the Trustees' newly-formed "Steering Committee on Student Life." While getting the chance to make such a "substantial" impact on the future of Dartmouth is really appealing to me, I don't think I would do such a great job of representing students. Over the last few months, I've done my best to represent the students' views to the Administration, but, now that you've chosen your new President who will (as is appropriate) fight for the majority, I want to share with you my view -- a view which is most definitely in the minority. Honestly, I think it's time for the Greek System to go. When the Trustees' principles were first released, I wasn't too happy.

Due Process

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 27, 1999

The choice of who will be selected to participate on the steering committee is going to be one of the most important decisions by the student body in our tenure at the College.

Opinion

Quid Pro Quo

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 26, 1999

At a time when the College is going through such tumultuous and turbulent changes, it is important that the student leadership and the students involved in decision making are aware of what exactly is in the best interests of the College and the students at this time.

Celebrate

By Jaimie Paul | April 23, 1999

Apathetic. Is that how you would describe yourself? Is that how you would describe your fellow Dartmouth students?

Alex Nazaryan '02

By Alex Nazaryan | April 23, 1999

It's too bad I didn't win the SA election. I would've made a damn good President. If I were elected, I would've make sure the student voice was heard by the administration.

The Senior Experience

By Kesner Bienvenu | April 23, 1999

Senior Year. It is a time when students are engrossed in writing culminating projects, spending lost time with close friends before they part, partaking in the vast pleasures that Dartmouth offers, and in the midst of this, determining what they will do following commencement.

The Cold World

By Jeff Deck | April 22, 1999

With the advent of better technology, it's becoming increasingly easier to stay in contact with old friends and relatives.

Bombing for Peace is a Mistake

By Christian Hummel | April 22, 1999

Rather than analyzing the situation piece- meal, as people have wanted to do the last few months in regards to the present situation in Kosovo, people should consider a wider scope of recent Balkan history.

Another Kind of Racism

By Mark Hill | April 22, 1999

Over the past three years at Dartmouth I have been told repeated times that I am privileged because I am white, heterosexual, male, American, and upper-middle class.

Ten in Line

By Courtney Henning | April 21, 1999

Tonight at Home Plate, friendships faced destruction when the dinner conversation turned to a rather controversial subject: the release of the new Star Wars movies.

Trustees Need to Show More Understanding

By Joshua Marks | April 21, 1999

To the Editor: In reading your article of April 19th, 1999 on the Trustees' next move in the social initiative, I noticed Trustee Dentzer stated, "The Board of Trustees owns the College." I have to question both the legal legitmacy and the tact with which this statement was made. First, I am not familiar with the charter of Dartmouth College, and I should be.

Trustee Minutes

By Liam Kuhn | April 20, 1999

Part of being the intrepid, Clark-Kent- turned-Superman reporter that I am is journalistic integrity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge and truth -- a "nose for news" if you will.

Against Democracy

By James Golden | April 19, 1999

Modern Americans seem to be losing faith in their government. Voter turnouts continue to fall, apathy reigns, and American citizens are becoming increasingly cynical about the political process taking place in Washington.

Tuning Out

By Liam Kuhn | April 16, 1999

Back in the day when Howard Stern wasn't a nationally-broadcast household name, back when he could only be heard on New York area radio, before the television shows, movies, books -- even before his endorsements for Snapple helped make it the success it is today -- people hated him. I had the fortune (or misfortune) to listen to him in the car when my mom would drive my sisters and me to elementary school.

CFS Has the Right to Self-Determination

By John Webb | April 16, 1999

To the Editor: In response to the April 15 letter "SA's Resolution Ignores Non-Affiliated Interests," I would like to say that the four authors, along with their wildly inaccurate statistics and use of phantom quotations, share an almost ludicrous view of the so called "CFS resolution" passed by SA this week.

Moral War?

By Scott Brown | April 16, 1999

War is rarely, if ever, a moral method for resolving a conflict, but the situation in Kosovo troubles even the most peaceable among us.
