Put A Leash On It

You can never quite predict which minor events will change your life. We'd like to think that the one dollar lottery ticket or resume sent to a huge company will have an impact, but more often than not, it is something unplanned, something trivial, even something from a very early age.

Where is the Women's Resource Center?

Walking past Kiewit, back to the Green, I passed a friend of mine who greeted me with "Hey, where are you coming from?" Not an abnormal greeting, especially by Dartmouth fast-paced-tunnel-vision-busy-students' standards.

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.
