On Women and Philosophy

By Kenji Hosakawa | March 26, 1996

I shall make a polemical statement because I find it unfortunately true: compared to men, a vastly smaller percentage of women are philosophical intellectuals -- those attempting to discover the meaning of life.

The Registration BLues

By Katie Shutzer | March 26, 1996

Registration, what a pain! Everybody lines up three hours before it even begins, just to sign up for some Miniversity class like ballroom dancing or healthy cooking, only to find out three days later that they have Orgo lab and can't even take the class. And, of course, they have to fill out 6 million forms to get a refund.

By Ben Mathew | March 25, 1996

Greeks, Opponents Mutually Dependent

By Ethan Ostrow | March 6, 1996

Dartmouth College in its present incarnation is, in a social sense, a static institution. The Greek system exists, and so too do those factions on campus arrayed in opposition to it.

No Parallel Between Unabomber and Anonymous Group

By Alexander R. Edlich | March 6, 1996

To the Editor: Yesterday's letter to the editor criticizing The Dartmouth for reporting on the dumping of manure on two fraternities' lawns written by Joshua Graubart '98 and Joshua Marks '96 is based on a totally fallacious parallel. The writers compare the printing of the article in The D to the printing of the Unabomber's manifesto by The New York Times and Washington Post last year.

By Joshua Graubart | March 5, 1996

To the Editor: One year ago, The New York Times and The Washington Post bowed to threats from the terrorist known as the Unabomber and printed his fringe political tract, ostensibly in the interest of public safety.
