No Parallel Between Unabomber and Anonymous Group

|

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.

To Hell With Humility

|

It is a fact that some men are more intellectually able than others. Some men are quicker than others, some are wittier, some remember more with less prompting than their peers.

A Piece of Fluff

|

All right. So this is going to be a little fluffy. But what do they have against fluff anyway? Fluff-bashing is what I call it.

New Dorms To Become More Desierable

|

To the Editor: Since ORL announced the decision to change the East Wheelock Cluster, making it an experimental "academic" dorm, I have heard countless students complain about what a horrible idea this is.

Flyer Represented Events Accurately

|

As most of you should know by now, in a flyer distributed last week, an anonymous group related a series of incidents that happened to me after I was quoted discussing Bob Dole's appearance at Alpha Delta fraternity earlier this term.

Green Noise

|

In his novel "White Noise" Don DeLillo observes the omnipresent static of modern life, the hum of refrigerators and microwaves and gargantuan shopping centers, all of which coalesce into an ineffable yet subtly oppressive atmosphere which lends the novel its title.

A Tribute to Amy

|

On December 30, 1995, Dartmouth lost one of its brightest alumni, and I lost my best friend, Amy Naparstek '95. Amy called me from Montreal early that Saturday morning so that we could arrange a time to meet later that day.

Men's hockey within reach of coveted ECAC playoff bid

One-On-One Education Ends Racism

|

Even after all that's happened this term, all the rallies, speeches, columns, flyers, manure dumpings, administration promises and BlitzMail announcements, even after the activists have spoken, some people still have their eyes closed to some bare, hard facts, which, whether you like it or not, need to be recognized. First of all, everyone has a right to hold whatever beliefs they want.
