Equal Justice Under the Law

By Laura Zachman | January 22, 1997

What a nuisance for Bill Clinton. Not only did he have to go to the trouble of campaigning for reelection this past year and fighting those nasty Whitewater probes, but now he may have to go to court.

A Night at the Pre-Inauguration Ball

By Marc Mcdonald | January 22, 1997

If it wasn't for my press credentials, I might have had a decent seat instead of being banished into the corner with the rest of the press corps. There's no reason I should be seated next to William Safire, who, I was told, was only invited because President Clinton figured he could drunk up Safire in order that the First Lady could get in a couple of good whacks. Tiring of Safire's banter about the origin of "G.O.P.", I politely excused myself and bumped into Tom Hanks who spilled a club soda all over himself.

The Few, The Precious

By Abiola Lapite | January 21, 1997

In the past week, not a few gallons of ink have been spilled expressing outrage at David Berenson's Bear Bones cartoon strip, and the resulting controversy has proved, to say the least, interesting -- interesting, but at the same time, thoroughly disturbing. The roots of the controversy can be traced to a letter in last Monday's Vox Clamantis by Frank Aum '97, in which he accused Berenson of perpetrating negative stereotypes about Asians in his cartoons.

In CUAD We Do Not Trust

By Connie Hoh | January 21, 1997

Conservatism and feminism are not so narrowly defined that people who consider themselves as supporters of both fall into contradiction. I hold conservative and feminist values.

To the Editor: In her column "No Substitute for an Open Mind" [Jan. 16, 1997, The Dartmouth] columnist Jen Parkinson '99 makes several highly questionable statements regarding a forum on feminism that was sponsored by the Conservative Union at Dartmouth.

Ticking to Twenty

By Julie Sloane | January 17, 1997

When most people remember childhood birthday parties, they remember things like tearing through endless wrapping paper, pleading over who would get the icing roses from the cake, and rubbing balloons on their heads to generate static and make them stick to the wall.

Career Services Provides Students With More Options

By Skip Sturman | January 17, 1997

To the Editor: At the tail end of a hectic first week of the term for staffers and students alike in Career Services, it was refreshing, then disconcerting, to see the headline: "Career Services Aids Job-Hunters." [January 10, 1997, The Dartmouth] The headline appeared at a pivotal time of year for student job-hunters, especially seniors, but the article that followed contained factual inaccuracies and, more importantly, missed a golden opportunity to provide a great deal of information which could have truly aided job-hunters. Instead of dwelling on perceived inadequacies, we wish the article could have revealed our full array of entry-level job-hunting resources in Career Services: job postings on the Internet (JobTrak); a CD ROM data base of 260,000 public and private employers (Career Search); a web site (Career Services' Home Page); job newsletters in the arts, not-for-profits and the environment; off-campus career fairs and more. We also wish the article could have discussed the availability of career and job search counselors ready and willing to offer individualized job search guidance.

By Christ Swift | January 15, 1997

As a CFS alcohol monitor and an active member of the Greek system, I am somewhat perplexed by the tone and purpose of one of the Principles for Discussion which were recently circulated among members of the community by the College Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs.
