'Independence Day' -- A movie worthy of praise, not insults

By Michael Ellenberg | July 9, 1996

To the Editor: Your article on Friday about "Indepedence Day" ["'Independence Day' free from intelligence," The Dartmouth, June 5] wasn't so much a review of the film as it was a litany of insults.

Why Men Ought to Be Unequal

By Kenji Hosokawa | July 5, 1996

When Dartmouth's most prominent student philosopher Mr. Won Joon Choe mentioned to me last term that he was working on an interpretative essay of Francis Fukuyama's widely controversial article "The End of History," I was surprised to learn that Fukuyama's article was profound enough to invoke Mr. Choe's serious reading.

Oh, the places you should go!

By Robinson Hall | July 5, 1996

One of the most popular criticisms of Dartmouth is that there is nothing to do here. Although Hanover's bar and club scene may be limited, there is much more to do at the College than study in a library or party in a fraternity basement. Dartmouth is not located in New York City or Boston, and it is unfair to expect it to offer the same kinds of activities as a major city.

Some Physical Education Fines Are Inappropriate

By Michelle Kraemer | July 3, 1996

Until recently, I had imagined the College's physical education program director as a man sitting on a Caribbean beach, ordering tropical drinks and tipping the waiters with fists full of fifties, freshly garnered from some poor sophomore who'd failed skiing class for the second year straight.

Summer is for Road Trips

By Greg Nicholson | July 1, 1996

The perils of a road trip are many, but the advantages of a road trip far outweigh the dangers. This is especially true if one's road begins and ends in Hanover.

Summer limits campus dining options

By Robinson Hall | July 1, 1996

Although sophomore summer demands that students make many adjustments, there are some sacrifices that should not have to be made regardless of the size of the student body.

Summer Lovin'

By John W. Ferrie | June 27, 1996

Finding love at Dartmouth, a wise man once said, is like finding a diamond in a cow patty. The question is not whether it exists, but if it's worth searching through all the crap to get to it.

Summer Term Blues

By Ben Mathew | June 27, 1996

Sophomore summer is here. It seems the College has done all it can to make this summer which I'm going to spend improving the mind in Baker instead of surfing in Hawaii as pleasant as possible.

Committee Advisory to the President has important voice in tenure decisions

By John S. Winn and John S. Winn | June 19, 1996

To the Editor: I am writing regarding the article titled "Departments grant tenure to professors" [The Dartmouth, May 28]. I am correctly quoted in the article, but the article and its title give an impression that is wrong and should be corrected. Departments neither grant nor deny tenure to professors. This responsibility rests ultimately with the Trustees, who act on recommendations made by the President, who, in turn, acts on recommendations made by the Committee Advisory to the President.

Sophomore summer is a time for taking risks

By Editorial - Robinson Hall | June 19, 1996

Sophomore summer is unlike any other term at Dartmouth. With sports teams in the off-season and extracurricular activities relaxed, students will have unprecedented opportunities to meet new people, try new things and see new places. But new opportunities always bring new risks.

Women worked in the Admissions Office before co-education in 1972

By Alfred T. Quirk and Alfred T. Quirk | June 19, 1996

To the Editor: In Tuesday's Dartmouth ["Ups and downs of history are reflected in admissions policies," The Dartmouth, May 21] , an otherwise excellent article was seriously in error when Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco was quoted as saying that: "They had no female admissions officers when they launched the co-ed program." One might infer from that quote that in 1972 there were no females on the Dartmouth admissions office staff.
