An Example of Poor Treatment of Facts

By Kenji Hosokawa | January 13, 1997

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

By Sander Schlichter | January 13, 1997

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.

Negative Sterotypes in Bear Bones Have No Place in a Campus Newspaper

By Frank Aum | January 13, 1997

To the Editor: I am writing with regards to the blatant, negative stereotypes that David Berenson uses in his daily cartoon strip, "Bear Bones." In the January 10, 1997 issue of The Dartmouth, the comic strip portrayed an androgynous Asian character with glasses as a nerdy, asexual student who is only concerned about his/her GPA. I also recall at least two other instances in the past where Berenson used similar geeky portrayals of Asians with glasses and "bowl-cuts" -- on one occasion calling a female Asian, "Kim Lee," and on another occasion calling a male Asian, "Lee Kim." The caricaturization of Asian people not only perpetuates negative stereotypes in an irresponsible way but also makes for poor, cliched humor.

Unfairly Split Up the Middle: The Median Way

By Aaron Klein | January 7, 1997

I will never forgot the summer before freshman year of college for a lot of reasons. One tiny one is the letter that the Math Department sent me which convinced me to take Math 18 (Honors Multi-Variable Calculus) my freshman fall.

Ah, Dartmouth in Winter

By Julie Sloane | January 6, 1997

Over the break I "took Dartmouth home" and visited four high schools in my area, handing out pamphlets from the admission office, preaching the Dartmouth gospel, and fielding a number of interesting questions. "So do you need like, y'know, like good grades to get into Dartmouth?" inquired one poor soul. "Well..." I bit my lip.

And Then the Party Began

By Carolyn Wachsman | January 6, 1997

Picture this: It's New Year's Eve. P and C are sitting in front of the TV with Pillsbury frozen pseudo-EBA's breadsticks and chunky Ragu Homestyle Tomato Sauce in Warren, New Jersey contemplating the meaning of New Year's and what this year has in store for them in Hanover, New Hampshire. By the last breadstick the two of them have almost succeeded in convincing themselves that it is totally cool not to have any plans for New Years and that staying home and ringing in the New Year with Dick Clark is better than any party they could possibly go to ... C Says: Well, P, as much as I love you and Dick Clark, I heard my acquaintance, D, is having a party in Manhattan.
