Lee's Column Hurts and Offends
To the Editor: I would just like to say that I am absolutely infuriated about the article in the August 17th issue of The Dartmouth by Roy Lee about President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

To the Editor: I recently read Lee's editorial "Are You Nuts" published Monday, August 17.
Okay, how many of you had 99s tell you that the summer is a very chill time, because professors understand that it is summer and therefore assign less work?
I didn't want to write about Clinton. I don't like writing articles about the news of the week, especially when it's gossipy scandalous stuff.
Many students have informally voiced complaints about the fines on campus in the past, and it is timely that this be addressed as we begin preparations for the new school year.
To the Editor: In his Random Thoughts editorial entitled "Are You Nuts?" [The Dartmouth 8/17] Roy Lee '00 urges the Dartmouth community to condemn the president because of his "bad taste in women." He suggests that, if a man who "can have anybody he wants" dates a woman deemed "chunky and ugly," then he is "stupid" and undeserving of respect. Rather than use up too many precious column inches parsing Lee's various insulting and callous assertions, let me point out three things.
As much as many hoped it would be (including Bill Clinton), Monday's developments are most definitely not the end of this sad and sordid chapter in the Clinton Presidency.
If Clinton has to be impeached, I think he should be impeached not because he perjured himself and lied about his affairs but because the man lacks common sense and has bad taste in women. Let's say you are the President of The United States, entrusted with America's hopes and dreams.
Imagine being a carrot. On the lunch tray amongst leftover cauliflower and dill pickles, Dartmouth student X drops you in the garbage can.
Next fall I am participating in a transfer program at the University of Edinburgh, but it is not one affiliated with Dartmouth.
I was sitting in my engineering class and my teacher asked who were the budding journalists in the class.
Today, of course, it is customary to collapse, if not overwrite, our individual characteristics into new, but now acceptable, stereotypes." Those were the words of Clarence Thomas this past week as he spoke to the National Bar Association.
There is something decidedly unnatural about taking classes during the summer. I become painfully aware of this every morning when I wake up to the beautiful sunshine and sigh contentedly.
Ah, parent's weekend. The joys of parading your kin all over campus to be ogled by your friends and associates.
After hearing that the Green Card, a corporation run by former Dartmouth students, is taking over the DASH office, I thought it would be a great idea to see other student-run organizations take over College offices.
Last weekend's Tubestock was everything it was supposed to be. The sun was shining, the water was warm and everyone was out there enjoying the day.
Sophomore parent's weekend is upon us. Like all of you whose parents are arriving, I took steps to prepare for the weekend.
I am writing in response to the Bear Bones cartoon printed (for the second time, I believe) in the July 20 issue of the Dartmouth. I find Berenson's character "Jumpin' Jesus" to be a bit insulting.
This coming weekend will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI's great encyclical which reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's teaching on the use of artificial contraception.
