Don't Chug

By Robert Lendvai | April 19, 1996

One thing I know is that there is plenty of at Dartmouth is beer. None of the Student Assembly president or vice presidential candidates I've come across call for more beer at fraternities or for alcoholic beverages to be served at Full Fare.

How Private Is BlitzMail?

By Jennifer L. Parkinson | April 19, 1996

Dartmouth College is run by computers. No matter how many times I was told this as a prospective just about a year ago, I never fathomed the role technology plays on this campus until I became a part of it.

Johnson Off-track With Facts About Fraternities

By William Keating | April 18, 1996

To the Editor: Eric Newton '97 wrote a sorely needed and well-written response to Miranda Johnson '97's editorial about affinity housing at Dartmouth ["Dispelling Notions of Segregation ", April 16, 1996]. However, I would like to correct an error in Newton's letter.

China's Inexorable Transformation to a Democracy

By Kenji Hosokawa | April 18, 1996

Since the Clinton administration--arguing that trade most effectively transfers democratic principles abroad--delinked human-rights issues from those of trade, human-rights groups in the United States have denounced the government after every incident of the Chinese authority's abuse of its citizens.

Focus Should Shift From Categorizing By Race

By Jean Saunders | April 18, 1996

To the Editor: This is in reference to Debbie Carbornaro '97's op-ed ["The Shades of Multicultural Crayons," April 17, 1996].. In the same breath, Carbornaro both calls for "[the day when] multiculturalism is no longer a separate category to be found in a campus committee" and bemoans the dismantling of affirmative action, citing the University of California's recent decision.

The End of The Tobacco Road

By Matthew C. Nisbet | April 16, 1996

Out of the rubble of the recent negative coverage and legal action against the tobacco industry comes a little publicized government report that industry spinmeisters hope to employ on behalf of their legal and public defense.

Johnson's Depictions False

By Eric Newton | April 16, 1996

Vote for Heavey and Epstein

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 15, 1996

Student Assembly presidential candidate Jon Heavey '97 and vice presidential candidate Meredith Epstein '97 will give the Assembly a much-needed injection of creativity and competence. Heavey's innovative approach to problem solving, his insightful ideas about leadership and his candor distinguish him from the rest of the field. For example, while other candidates suggest polls, committees or nothing at all to promote campus tolerance, Heavey advocates a campus-wide dinner to mitigate racial tensions. Heavey is open to others' ideas, which will garner him the respect of the Assembly, the student body and the administration. Unlike other candidates, Heavey has been forthright in admitting his potential shortcomings.

"Your parents must be really proud," I said to the friend-once-removed. "Sure, C & G's all that," came the reply.
