By Nathaniel Fick | October 31, 1995

Like the pond, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled." Thoreau's words from Walden danced through my head as I gazed through the pines at Storr's Pond.

To the Editor: In response to Sarah Johnston's '97 column "Years Later -- Have Greeks Changed?", I would like to share some of my thoughts. My answer to the above stated question is a resounding yes -- Greeks have changed since the days of Alpha Chi's 1988 Hell Night, and for the better.

'Sleazy' need not fear the treatment at Dick's House

By Jack Turco | October 27, 1995

To the Editor: In response to the October 18 issue of The Dartmouth, I wanted to reassure Sleazy the Wonder Squirrel that if he did come down to Dick's House for a cough, I would put away any slings and arrows from our battle during the spring term.

Years Later--Have Greeks Changed?

By Sarah Johnston | October 26, 1995

Like many other people on this campus, I have been following the Hell Night tapes controversy. I am neither a "flaming liberal" that Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity President Jeff Botelho could threaten to stigmatize, nor a member of the Greek system, wearing my "agenda" on my head.

Non-majority students were descrived as 'students of color,' not 'colored students'

By Rique Feaster | October 26, 1995

To the Editor: I was quoted in the Oct. 24, 1995 issue of The Dartmouth as having termed students of color "colored students," ("Women discuss diversity in sororities"). This was a foolish mistake because a) I didn't say that; I only described non-majority students as "students of color" and b) because "colored students" only applies to black students; the two terms have totally different meanings. Additionally, I was misquoted in referring to most students of color who are members of the Greek system as "mainstream", when I actually said that many of the values and experiences of students of color in sororities are more common to "mainstream" America but does not necessary put them outside of their respective communities. I was insulted by what was written in the article and even more upset that these gross misquotations were attributed to me.

Some possible answers to the frisbee question

By Robert H. Nutt | October 26, 1995

To the Editor: On Oct. 13, 1995, The Dartmouth asked the question "Is Dartmouth home of the frisbee?" Here's a partial answer. While many universities, big and small, as well as some individuals and companies--most notably a pie company--claim the invention of the frisbee, only Dartmouth can point with pride to Levi Frisbie of the class of 1771.
