Luxon Letter Misses the Essentials of Christian Faith

By Amy Hooper | April 14, 1999

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letter in The D written by Professor Thomas Luxon concerning the beliefs of certain campus Christian groups in relation to the recent hate mail incident here at Dartmouth. I would simply like to point out to both Professor Luxon and the Dartmouth community that the Christian belief in eternal salvation through acceptance of Jesus Christ and eternal damnation for those who do not in no way condones acts of hatred such as those perpetrated last week. His letter is simply an attempt to shun Christianity.

Administration will not Reveal Identity of "Hate-Mailer"

By Daniel M. Nelson | April 14, 1999

To the Dartmouth Community: I am writing to follow up on articles and discussions on campus last week regarding the anonymous mailing of offensive pamphlets to members of the campus chaplaincy, the Dean of the Tucker Foundation, members of the Rainbow Alliance, the President of the Student Assembly, and others.

Imagine This

By Tom Leatherbee | April 13, 1999

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.

Our College

By Marc Fenigstein | April 13, 1999

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

By Timothy H. Sulahian | April 13, 1999

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

By Nicole Leonard | April 13, 1999

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?

Our Assembly

By Dean Krishna | April 12, 1999

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

By Alexander Nazaryan | April 9, 1999

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

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.

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?

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.
