The Few, The Precious

|

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

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

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

|

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.

Self-Monitoring Part of the Solution

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.

On January 4, 1997, a date not too long before today's, I saw a rather interesting article in the New York Times. "A Shy Scholar Transforms Dartmouth Into a Haven for Intellectuals," read the explosive headline.

An Example of Poor Treatment of Facts

Will Taylor in his "American Policy and Attitude in Asia Must Change" [Thursday, January 9, 1997, The Dartmouth] attempts to portray the problematic American policy toward Asia by illustrating a few incidents that he thinks demonstrate America's parochial view of the world.

This Week at the Hop: Commencement

|

It was inevitable. I mean, how long could they put it off? June is only 6 months away. A depressing thought in itself, but to actually be sent a document informing one of the sad event is almost inhuman. I am speaking, of course, about Commencement.
