Lendvai '99 Depicts Free Speech Inaccurately

|

To The Editor: It is so ironic that liberals are often the most intolerant people around. Robert Lendvai's diatribe against free speech ["Limit Free Speech," The Dartmouth, April 3] was the best proof of this phenomenon I've seen in a long time.

Multicultural Mayhem

|

To The Editor: I recently received a blitz from the "Multicultural Project," an organization created by the Tucker Foundation in conjunction with several local elementary schools, which is apparently seeking to "expose area public school students to cultural education which they might not be exposed to." Hoping to recruit student volunteers, I was asked if I would be interested in participating in this program.

On Exercising Free Speech

|

So I read in yesterday's paper some freshman wants to suspend me from writing for The Dartmouth. As I looked closer at his column I realized he is satirizing the notion of speech codes.




Opinion

Limit Free Speech

|

The College's decision not to institute a speech code is the result of a misguided liberalism that endangers the welfare of the college community. While free speech has its virtues, those virtues must be weighed against the numerous disadvantages that the doctrine engenders.

|

To the Editor: There was an incident that took place Thursday Feb 23 involving a physical altercation between two female students (a third student was present) at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Dartmouth, Prospective Style

|

You race over to McNutt, breathless. There she is, your prospective, your very own! It reminds you of the time your mother let you get a hamster at the pet store -- you knew right away which one was meant to be yours.

Re-examing Human Rights

|

At about the same time I was looking for a date for my high school sophomore formal, soldiers from the Guatemalan army came to the home of 15-year-old "Enrique" to forcibly recruit him into service.

Following the Trail of Bandwidth

|

Strolling through the Hop on a fine Thursday afternoon with a couple of good friends, perusing the form letters from the College that comprise the day's Hinman box content, wondering if, in fact, I should join the Sub-Committee on Intra-Campus Interrelational Human Affairs, one of my companions suddenly stops in his tracks. "Gotta go check the BlitzMail machine," he announces. My point in relating this mildly charming anecdote is not to deride those who refer to computers as "BlitzMail machines." Well, actually it is.

Fusing Systemic and Holistic Philosophy

|

Kenji Hosokawa's column "On Women and Philosophy" [March 26, 1996] shows a confused attempt to understand why, as a generalization, men and women define and discuss life's most profound questions in different ways.




Opinion

Intellectual Pong

|

A column was run last term ["College Should Promote Intellectualism," Feb. 1, 1996] which examined intellectualism at Dartmouth in light of the proposed additions to the East Wheelock cluster.


Opinion

Gender Equity and Philosophy

|

I was appalled by Kenji Hosakawa's column "On Women and Philosophy" [March 26, 1996]. He says he has yet to "encounter a woman with an intriguing philosophical insight." Has he bothered to communicate with any women at Dartmouth?
