Gone Before You Know It

By Kevin Walsh | May 15, 1995

Day unto day uttereth speech. The clouds change. The seasons pass over our woods and fields in their slow and regular procession, and time is gone before you were aware of it." --Thomas Merton It seems as if Dartmouth College is a different school each term.

Playboy photographer's work is art-mediocre art

By Timothy Horrigan | May 15, 1995

To the Editor: I have no affiliation with the College, aside from living here in Hanover, working at an organization which occupies Dartmouth-owned real estate and knowing some people who are affiliated with the College (including some of the individuals who have taken it upon themselves to protect Hanover from the scourge of nude photography.) Therefore, I have no reason to care if Dartmouth's reputation would be besmirched by having a few of its students disrobe for Playboy's cameras. I have been following the controversy in the pages of The Dartmouth for a variety of reasons, the most important of these being that this whole business is a nice break from our community's usual stuffiness.

Anti-Playboy protest should focus efforts on male consumers

By Cate Avoes | May 15, 1995

To the Editor: I would like to respond to the column in The Dartmouth ("Playboy Models Will Represent Dartmouth," May 11, 1995) which outlined the ignominy that we, as noble Dartmouth students, should feel on behalf of the morally corrupt harlots who pose naked for Playboy. Now, I myself do not find Playboy's pictures appealing.

Playboy Debate Misses the Point

By John Strayer | May 12, 1995

I'llbe glad when Playboy is long gone from our campus. Not out of any strong moral conviction about the implications of its presence, but because I have grown tired of a debate that misses the fundamental point. For the sake of this argument, let us start by simply granting the anti-Playboy argument.

A different photo please

By Dr. John H. Turco | May 12, 1995

To the Editor: Give me a break! I know that I am not a Hollywood poster pin-up candidate; however, the picture that was printed in the May 3 issue of The Dartmouth did not do justice to me.

Playboy Models Will Represent Dartmouth

By Kimberly Koontz | May 11, 1995

Ihave been thinking a lot about this issue of Playboy coming to campus lately. I thought about how much fun it would be to cover myself in papers and exams to prove a point, and I thought about how flattered I would be if someone thought that I had a nice enough body that men would want to drool over it.

Anti-Playboy protesters did not 'force' women to not pose

By Susan Zieger | May 11, 1995

To The Editor: Dan Richman '95 grossly misunderstood and misrepresented the arguments of the anti-Playboy protesters and those of the pro-choice movement in his narrow-minded comparison of the two ("The Double Standard of 'Choice,' " May 10, 1995). The purpose of Monday's protest was not to prevent women from posing for Playboy, but to persuade them not to.
