By Aaron Klein | January 23, 1998

By Omar Rashid | January 21, 1998

Kenji Hosokawa's column "Interracial Relationships," January 19] has disturbed me in many ways. First of all, he falsely claims that race has been a problem in American society after "the demise of the 'evil empire.'" For when the first white northern European imperialists set foot on Plymouth Rock in the 17th century, racial diversity was imposed on North America and the natives living there.

Article Downplayed the Success of THis Year's Alumni Fund Phonathaon

By Christopher Boffoli | January 19, 1998

To the Editor: On behalf of the 1998 Alumni Fund interns, I wanted to comment on your article on this year's Student Phonathon ["Donations down for Alumni Fund drive," January 16]. Although it was great to have The Dartmouth cover what is an important annual event for Dartmouth and the Alumni Fund, it was disappointing to see that you seemed to paint the program and its results in a bad light. The headline was completely wrong.
