Confronting Reverse Racism

By Adam J. Siegel | May 6, 1996

In California's race to become the first state in the nation to abolish all state-sponsored affirmative action programs which give preferential treatment to minorities and women in areas of education, contracting, and hiring, a single man is leading the crusade against these unjust practices.

A Question of Purpose

By Abiola Lapite | May 3, 1996

The problem with Dartmouth College today is that the administration has not clearly and forcefully laid out exactly where it wishes the College to go.

The Priveledged Position of Business

By Mattew Nisbet | May 3, 1996

Money in politics is not new. After John F. Kennedy won his first congressional election, Joseph Kennedy bragged that he could have elected a laborer off the street for the amount of money he had spent on his son's campaign.

Being Pro-Choice and Anti-Abortion

By Ellen Wight | May 3, 1996

I'm about to do the unthinkable. I'm about to write a pro-choice column ... against abortion. A few weeks ago, I went to see the pro-life documentary, "The Silent Scream." As I expected, I left the film horrified at the brutality it represented.

The Roots of Faulty Reasoning

By John Strayer | May 2, 1996

There are two common mistakes that we Dartmouth pundits make in our various arguments. These two elements are so pervasive in the bad reasoning that goes on at this place that someone really must do something. First of all, if I hear one more argument that starts with the following phrase I am going to scream in violent pain: "Well we are all smart enough to get into Dartmouth, so ..." This goes wrong in a bunch of directions, including the fact that among Dartmouth students, intelligence is not universal.

SAGE's Role on Campus

By Janet Lieberman | May 2, 1996

Last week Jeffrey Botelho '96 wrote a very enlightening column ["Addressing Sexual Assault," The Dartmouth, April 25]. Botelho wrote, "I think group education to combat against this type of behavior is in order, requiring the full attendance of fraternity members, not just the new members ... with the cooperation of rape educators and survivors, the administration, and fraternity members, I think we can start fighting a winning battle against sexual assault." Sexual Awareness through Greek Education (SAGE) believes that his column has captured the essence of how sexual assault and the Greek system should be addressed at Dartmouth. SAGE is an organization made up of active members of Dartmouth's Greek system.

Welander Portrays Assembly Inaccurately

By J. Brooks Weaver | May 2, 1996

To the Editor: I am responding to Matt Welander '97's column titled "The True Identity of the SA" [The Dartmouth, April 24]. Mr Welander: and I use the term loosely, I am indeed touched by the amount of thought and time you invested in utterly failing to grasp the point of my original article.

Real Problems Can't be Glossed Over

By Sean Donahue | May 1, 1996

To the Editor: Garrett Gil De Rubio '96 and Kimberly Koontz '96 seem to think that if we all just stop arguing about institutional racism and institutional sexism Dartmouth will somehow become a real community.

Community at Dartmouth

By P. K. Tengan | May 1, 1996

Community at Dartmouth sounds like a nice concept, but somewhere along the way, between forgotten charters and intractable bureaucracies, the spirit of community appears to have been neglected. My first impressions of Dartmouth led me to believe that this sense of "community" was all-inclusive.

The Perfect Body

By Katie Shutzer | April 30, 1996

Returning from a job interview in New York City, I swung by the Hinman Boxes to get my mail and opened up last Friday's The Dartmouth.

Decline Part II: The Role of Physics

By Sam Bonderoff | April 29, 1996

Down at the smallest, tiniest, most infinitesimally diminutive level of existence, way down past the flies and the crumbs, past the amoeba and the blue-green algae, past the cell and the molecule, past, even, the beloved endoplasmic reticulum, there dwell the mighty elementary particles. Yes, the elementary particles, whisking little dandies with some charge or other and nothing better to do than enhance the ever increasing sketch factor of quantum physics. The electron, for example.

The Lark Ascending

By Abiola Lapite | April 26, 1996

The act of writing about intellectualism (and the lack of it in certain unmentionable places) naturally leads to a consideration of just what it is that fuels a person to whom the label "intellectual" applies.
