A Misguided Gift

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | October 29, 1998

At its meeting on Tuesday night, the Student Assembly voted to return $5,000 of its $30,000 yearly allocation to the Undergraduate Finance Committee in a resolution urging the College to increase funding for student organizations. The Assembly's commendable but misguided move highlights several disturbing aspects of the current system for funding student groups. While the Assembly portrayed its gesture as a symbolic and altruistic donation, its ability to return one-sixth of its yearly budget is somewhat disquieting.

How Horrible Am I?

By Billy Kartolopoulos | October 27, 1998

It is with great pride and pleasure and a crystal awareness of the irony involved that I accept the distinction of being the first student who suffers a personal attack from the Dartmouth Review for the 1998-99 academic year.

Let Them Eat Cake

By Jason Rosenhouse | October 27, 1998

You have to admire someone who can decry the oversimplification of his views on the one hand, and then write something like, "The conservative requires you to have faith in God, the liberal replaces "God" with "the state" or "society" [The Dartmouth, "A Few Good (Straw) Men: Part II," Oct.

One Dartmouth

By Rachel Gilliar | October 26, 1998

Last winter when a Star of David with the message "Death to You" was scrawled on the door of one of the River apartments, the response was a forum in the Roth Center with a huge panel of students from all walks of Dartmouth life, followed by a break-out session in smaller groups, after which we returned to the larger group to present our ideas about ending hate at Dartmouth.

The Value of Compassion

By Amanda Molk | October 22, 1998

It doesn't affect me, so why should I care?" It is appalling on a campus supposedly brewing with our world's future leaders, how many times I've heard that comment and others just like it.

Why I Hate Exams

By Courtney Henning | October 22, 1998

I'd like to ask all my professors to do me a personal favor -- don't ever tell me that grades don't matter. Too many times in my academic career I have had a teacher or professor tell me something to the effect of, "Oh, now, all I want is for you to do your best.

Reality Check

By Janelle Ruley | October 21, 1998

So I was thinking ... about social space. Maybe you noticed in last Wednesday's D, buried in an article about new iMacs for public terminals, that the Student Assembly passed a resolution to support a document written by two students on the state of our needs for more social spaces on campus ["SA to install 16 iMacs for Blitz use," Oct.
