By Miranda Johnson | January 19, 1996

This past weekend, the College paid tribute to a man and a movement that changed America. The Civil Rights movement and the many thousands of people who organized and participated in its protests, marches and demonstrations were instrumental in creating a second emancipation for African-Americans.

Are You High Maintenance?

By Katie Shutzer | January 19, 1996

Dartmouth students can easily be divided into two types: those who are high maintenance and those who are low maintenance. First there's the "High Maintenance Dartmouth Man." You are probably wondering how anyone at Dartmouth could be high maintenance, man or woman.

Hanover Cars Just Aren't Stopping for Pedestrians Anymore

By Sam Bonderoff | January 18, 1996

I'm standing on the edge of the Green across the street from the Hop. Stretching out before me in frayed white paint is the crosswalk, that pedestrian haven, that relaxing free zone, assuring me that although I am crossing a well-trafficked street right now, I can still continue at my leisurely collegiate pace without fear of automotive onslaught.

It is pleasant to look at girls if they are pretty. They would help to keep the faculty more alert." And so goes one faculty member's argument for coeducation in 1965.

Clinton Kowtowing to Demands of Abortion Advocates

By Kevin Walsh | January 17, 1996

Even more lamentable than President Clinton's apparent inability to pick a policy and stick with it is his allegiance to certain extreme elements within the Democratic party.

Life After the Teenage Years

By Rachel R. Gilliar | January 17, 1996

I have never given much thought to the idea of aging. As much as I bemoaned the idea that someday I would be 35 or, gasp, 40, getting older was something I just did not have time to worry about. When I did picture myself older, it was as a ripened woman, elegantly attired in a designer suit.

Dartmouth Needs Undergrad Houses

By Ben Mathew | January 16, 1996

By Nathaniel Fick | January 16, 1996

Media's Ability to Influence Requires Responsible Action

By Laura Dupont | January 16, 1996

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the Tim Young editorial, "You Can't Blame The Weatherman" [Jan 11]. The juvenile ramblings, mostly about Senator Dole's film preferences, tell me the writer needs some serious time on the analysis couch, right next to Oliver Stone. Bob Dole and Bill Bennett are trying to make a very basic point which is that motion pictures and other mass media are powerful influences on the public, particularly children, and that the managements of the large entertainment companies -- Time Warner, Disney and others -- have an obligation which goes beyond the very important one of earning top dollar for their shareholders. In spite of being bombarded by reporters' questions about which films or performers they favor and which they do not, Dole and Bennett have no desire to micro manage particular companies or an industry.

Absorbing the Costs of Diversity

By Martin Davidson And Joseph E. Cooper | January 15, 1996

Dr. Martin Luther King said, "There is no easy way to create a world where men and women can live together, where each has his own job and house and where all children receive as much education as their minds can absorb.

Affirmative Action Perpetuates Racism

By Kenji Hosokawa | January 15, 1996

The recent surge of anti-affirmative action sentiment has given me much joy. I hope that this trend will continue, for there no longer exists today -- more than three decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act -- any intelligent justification for affirmative action as part of U.S.

Sometimes Classes Are a Gamble

More Debate, Fewer Insults

By Kevin Walsh | January 12, 1996

Yale Law Professor Stephen Carter writes, "Too many commentators in the media, in politics, and in the academy, make a casual habit of insulting their religious opponents instead of debating with them," in the paperback foreword to "The Culture of Disbelief." What is most unfortunate about Carter's statement is its accuracy. Last Friday's edition of the Valley News ran a front-page story on the defeat of an assisted suicide bill in the New Hampshire State Legislature.
