Create a New Sorority

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 24, 1995

The College should commit itself to establishing gender equity in its social system and creating a new sorority would be a good start. Dartmouth's social system, in particular the Greek system, currently offers more opportunities to men than women, while membership in sororities is bursting at the seams.

Article stereotyped Hanover High students inaccurately

By Siri Baschnagel | May 22, 1995

To the Editor: In response to The Dartmouth's article, "Hanover High students: More than just baggy pants and skateboards," (May 18, 1995) the reporter stereotyped the students of Hanover High with the idea that [they] are "invading Dartmouth territory."

Report on Asgard's becoming an undergraduate society is still in the works

By Emmie Jones | May 22, 1995

To the Editor: On behalf of the alcohol task force, I would like to clarify the situation surrounding the discussion about Asgard's becoming an undergraduate society ("Asgard may become an undergraduate society," May 18, 1995). At this point, the committee has not yet voted on any of the many proposed recommendations, and thus it is premature to say that the task force has "recommended" any specific action.

Approve Assembly Reform

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | May 18, 1995

TheStudent Assembly should pass the recommendations of the Student Assembly External Review Committee as a vital first step in bringing some legitimacy back to student government at Dartmouth. The committee's well-thought out and well-researched report, released Tuesday, is properly titled "Undergraduate Council: Toward a More Responsible Student Government." The word "Assembly" to students is synonymous with "infighting" and "incompetency." Changing the name would be a symbolic break from the Assembly's troubled past. But the recommendations are about more than just a name change -- they address several fundamental problems that have plagued the Assembly for years.

Blood and Iron

By Abiola Lapite | May 17, 1995

Thepast few weeks have seen the marking of the end of the Second World War. Thus it seems timely to examine one of the chief causes of this war, as well as of the Great War which preceded it: The creed of militarism. The word "militarism" has acquired in our age quite negative connotations, and its very mention is enough in some circles to bring on uncomfortable silence.
