Undiscovered Talent

By Meylysa Tseng | May 1, 1998

I've been trying to get a friend of mine to pick up her violin and play some duets with me. She's very reluctant and very concerned that her playing isn't good enough.

Changing Influences in Education May Weaken Undergraduate Focus

By Lee Pelton | April 30, 1998

To the Editor: It is probably useful for me to amplify a recent article describing my remarks regarding changing influences in American higher education [The Dartmouth, "Pelton discusses professors' salaries," April 29]. The article's headline might lead the careless reader to conclude that I sought to criticize increases in faculty salaries.

Hosokawa's Column Misrepresented the Role of the Sciences in Education

By Michael Ross | April 30, 1998

To the Editor: As a Computer Science major, I feel the need to take the time to respond to a few points raised in Kenji Hosokawa's most recent column ["The Harvardization of Dartmouth," April 28]. Although I am a student of one of Hosokawa's "master sciences," I completely disagree with his characterization of their role in the educational process.

The Harvardization of Dartmouth

By Kenji Hosokawa | April 28, 1998

A recent speech by President-elect James Wright, in which he stressed the importance of research at Dartmouth, has become a cause of anxiety for many students indoctrinated in the belief that the College should not waver from its commitment to undergraduate teaching. However, in the end of history when the universal triumph of liberal democracy has finished man's ideological battle, research -- especially in computer science and the natural sciences, along with mathematics as their foundation -- is the raison d'etre of an elite educational institution like Dartmouth.

Thoughts on Hypocrisy

By Jeffrey Beyer | April 24, 1998

I was a bit puzzled by Dave Gacioch's column, "Thoughts on Objectivity," in yesterday's issue of The Dartmouth, in which he charged this newspaper with disseminating false information and whoring the First Amendment to further its own agenda. Now, I'm not usually one to respond to other people's columns, but the only thing I dislike more than self-important pseudo-politicians is hypocrisy.

Life After Death

By Roy Lee | April 24, 1998

Do you ever wonder? We all do, but I seem to be doing it a lot these days. Maybe it's the four classes I am taking, since my body cannot physically and mentally handle over a dozen hours of lectures and discussions a week.

Thoughts on Objectivity

By Dave Gacioch | April 23, 1998

According to Webster's, "monopoly" means "exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market or a control which makes possible the manipulation of prices." America has enacted very strict statutes barring monopolies from most areas of business because of this ability to manipulate and holding those which are allowed to heightened standards of responsibility and ethical behavior.

Rob Said, Rob Said

By Rob Valet | April 22, 1998

Man! What is going on in The D lately? You can't throw a D on the floor and pee on it without hitting at least four of those annoying "He said, she said" / "You said, I said" columns.

By Julie Sloane | April 22, 1998

Tomorrow is Dartmouth College Stress and Anxiety Awareness Day. I know this because my friend forwarded me a blitz about it. "Is college life stressing you out?
