Students concerned with sexual assault and COS process are working together

By Emily Stephens | May 8, 1995

To the Editor: In The Dartmouth's May 5 issue, the editorial board criticized Rukmini Sichitiu '95 and Yvonne Chiu '95 ("Research Must Precede Reform") for forming a coalition of students who are attempting to take action on the current sexual assault/Committee On Standards debate without first adequately researching these issues. Ah, the irony is that much thicker. By expressing their views in the editorial, The Dartmouth became guilty of the same misinformed action they were condemning. The Dartmouth, by choosing to make this a "side" issue, is simply miring the concerns of students in a mass of political goo.

Sorting Out What Went Wrong in the Stephens Case

By John Strayer | May 5, 1995

The events in the last few weeks surrounding Emily Stephens '97 and her attempts to seek justice in a case of alleged sexual abuse have everybody talking and many students asking, "What the heck went wrong?" This question is completely justified, but the most frustrating thing about this case is the fact that we will probably never know the answer.

College should let courts handle nonacademic cases

By Gerald Martin | May 4, 1995

To the Editor: Senior Associate Dean of the College Daniel Nelson makes an astute and worthwhile observation in his letter to the Editor of The Dartmouth on May 2, 1995, when he writes that "Difficult matters are often difficult to discuss, but they deserve the benefit of accurate information, integrity and a willingness to learn from one another." However, even the therapeutic disciplinary process [Dean Nelson] describes is a pale imitation of the justice system as it exists outside sheltered campus communities.

Review Failed to Focus on Cover-up

By Dan Richman | May 4, 1995

There'sbeen a lot of talk in the past couple of weeks about The Dartmouth Review and their latest flirtation with what some have called "tabloid journalism." While such a label is little more than a knee-jerk reaction, one must certainly question the motivation behind The Review's most recent expose. In its now infamous April 19 issue, The Review sought to bring to light a supposed Parkhurst cover-up by exposing the "hidden stories" of four campus leaders: Hosea Harvey '95, Earl Plante '94, James Hunter '95, and Jim Brennan '96. Reaction to the story has been somewhat mixed; some have praised The Review for breaking the story and others have accused the off-campus weekly of mudslinging.

Resources regarding sexual abuse are available

By Liza Veto | May 3, 1995

To the Editor: Due to recent articles and columns in this student paper and others, and posters seen around campus, I feel that it is important for the Dartmouth community to understand what resources are available with regard to sexual abuse.

Dartmouth Needs a Diversity of Individuals

By Doug Shen | May 1, 1995

Sometimesit seems that Dartmouth is a breeding ground for doubles. How many times during the course of a day do we wave to someone, only to realize on closer inspection that we waved to the wrong person and then try to pretend that we were waving to someone off in the distance?

Blitzes to Beware of

By Suzanne Leonard | April 28, 1995

Thestory had all the makings of a juicy spy novel -- espionage, modern technology, national security and the impending visit of the President of the United States.

Proposal for a Commencement Speaker

By Chris Kelly | April 28, 1995

Dartmouth is finally excited about something, it seems, and his name is Bill Clinton. Who would have guessed that Clinton's arrival and the relocation of Commencement would have caused such an uproar, so much ill-will amongst the '95s? I can see their point though.
