A Clarion Call to Stay

By Edwarad Bialas | February 9, 1998

In the Feb. 2 issue of The Dartmouth, an article was printed about the reasons why students transfer from Dartmouth College ("Students transfer for many reasons"). Upon reading the article, I did ponder for a moment the numerous people that I knew in my own class that were contemplating transferring. Their reasons for wanting to leave varied from not feeling that they had a place in the Dartmouth community, to wanting to be closer to home, to desiring to go to a "better" school (I won't mention names). The lack of intellectual stimulation outside of the classroom, feeling pressure to conform from a predominately white, Christian, homophobic and pro-beer campus, the cold weather and the fact that we are in the Hanover metropolis were too much for them to take. I thought about my own role as a student at this college.

Back to Basics

By Janelle Ruley | February 5, 1998

Before I begin, I just have to comment on the sign on the broken blitz computer in Collis: how cool is that?! But, anyway, I've got issues with the English language. Apparently, so do many other Americans.

Article Misrepresented Facts About the Construction of a New Lodge at the Skiway

By Richard Heck | February 4, 1998

To the Editor: I am writing in response to Monday's article on the Skiway ("New lodge to be built at Skiway," The Dartmouth, February 2). Despite what the headline seems to suggest, the College has not approved a proposal to renovate or construct a new lodge at the Skiway. It is true, as reported in the article, that a Skiway Advisory Committee has studied the long-term needs of the Skiway and has recommended several upgrades and improvements to the Skiway that will permit it to sustain its intercollegiate and recreational programs into the next century and beyond. The proposed lodge renovation represents only one of many recommendations, none of which were mentioned in the article. The headlines suggested that the College had approved specific plans to build a new lodge at the Skiway.
