Voters Should Get To Know Candidates

By Jennifer Parkinson | April 12, 1996

To the Editor: It's Tuesday night. I've just returned from Collis Common Ground, where the candidates for Student Assembly president and vice president presented their views and themselves to a pathetically small gathering of students.

Experience Is Crucial to the Assembly

By Scott Rowekamp | April 11, 1996

The first issue I would like to talk about is race relations at Dartmouth. Because of the racial incidents of last summer and last term, there is a growing concern among the Dartmouth community about how we interact with one another as students who come from an incredibly diverse ethnic background.

Take Ownership Of Dartmouth

By Unai Montes-Irueste | April 10, 1996

Joan Baez, an alumna from my alma mater, Redlands High School, once said, "As long as one keeps searching, the answers come." These words seem obvious in minor everyday applications of them, but the answers don't come as easily when the questions concern larger, societal dilemmas such as prejudice and intolerance.

A Surreal Return to Planet Dartmouth

By Debbie Carbonaro | April 10, 1996

Staring wholly uninspired at a blank Microsoft Word screen is a writer's most dreaded nightmare. After spending seven months away from Planet Dartmouth, how could I have absolutely nothing to say? What happened to the amazing world perspective I took away from Rome?

Of Moose And Men

By Ellen Wight | April 10, 1996

Think back to that late summer day just before you plunged into freshman fall, when you staggered into the Ravine Lodge at Moosilauke with leftover cucumbers rotting in your backpack and a week-old enviromug encrusted with oatmeal and cocoa.

Dartmouth In Pieces

By Sam Bonderoff | April 9, 1996

Have you ever noticed that all words are defined by other words? There is not a single word in any language whose meaning can be expressed without the deployment of other words that are subject to the very same linguistic limitation.

On Segregated Housing

By Adam J. Siegel | April 9, 1996

Once again, the radical and anti-intellectual movement here at the College has reared its ugly head in the form of a new faction of the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance that ironically labels itself with a self-demeaning title, the "Political Queers." This group's agenda is not only in direct contradiction with their most fundamental goals of integrating the Dartmouth Community and promoting campus-wide tolerance of the gay/lesbian community, but their proposal to obtain affinity housing for gay/lesbian students is both socially and intellectually destructive to the well being of our campus. The beauty of Dartmouth's current housing policy is that from the start, an attempt is made to integrate first-year students with as diverse a group of upper-class students as possible.
