Lee's Column Reflective of Insensitive Cultural Attitudes

|

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."

Are You Nuts?

|

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.

A Student Takeover

Encyclical Misconceptions

Running Out Of Time?

|

Wow, It's sophomore summer, and it is kind of scary to say that. For so long, sophomore summer was this term of fun in the distant future that everyone looked forward to and made grand plans for.
