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.

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.

Rethinking Proposition 209

By Chris Warren | April 17, 1998

In the fiery debate that took place over Proposition 209 in the months leading up to November 5, 1996, the sides were clearly drawn: the pro-affirmative action camp vociferously opposed the conservative-championed measure, while the bill's proponents shouted its praises equally loudly. A year and a half after the measure's passage, some of Prop 209's strongest supporters are wondering if eliminating racial preferences was the right thing to do.
