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.

Re-building the Community

By Sarah Cho | April 8, 1996

Dartmouth is changing. The student body as a whole is recognizing the undercurrents tugging at the community and we are facing up to the challenge of pulling together on individual and group levels.

Lendvai's Development of Satire Asymmetrical and Hasty

By Jean Saunders | April 8, 1996

To the Editor: I realized my mistake yesterday concerning Robert Lendvai's article [April 3,] after reading John Strayer's rebuttal [April 4,] the following day. I can only point out that Lendvai's article is a poor example of the "classic slippery slope" that he must have intended and a perfect example of a straight and sudden drop. The last several paragraphs are, I assume, supposed to be the satirical revelation of his article. The extremist points Lendvai includes in his last comments are his entire argument; however, they are not mentioned anywhere in the previous paragraphs, thus making his attempt at satire asymmetrical and unparallel. Satire should be developed carefully throughout a piece, not hastily tacked onto the end.

Standing Up For Injustice

By Abiola Lapite | April 5, 1996

There are few phrases more abused today in the English language than the line in the constitution which goes "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal." These words, born of the desire to secure for the citizens of the new nation of America freedoms which had been lacking in the Old World, have today been pressed into the service of all those who would seek to subvert those freedoms. Who are those of whom I speak?

Extortion in Cancun

By Matt Nisbet | April 5, 1996

In a boomtown, money flows like a raging river. During the 1880s, young entrepreneurs flocked west to legendary boomtown destinations like Tombstone, Arizona.

Opinion

Regarding Phyliss

By Kyle Teamey | April 5, 1996

To the Editor: Full Fare: without a doubt the best eating establishment on campus. With the best food, (none of that non-meat meat substitute like Collis), the best seating, (no crossbars on the tables that you hit your shins on like at the Hop and none of the noise or confusion of Food Court), great conversation, and that special Full Fare ambiance, it outshines the rest by far.
