By Brian Sung | February 23, 1995

Lately, a lot of conversations, community meetings and even newspaper editorials on this campus have centered on the recent report of the Committee on the First-Year Experience.

Missed Connections

By Chris Kelly | February 22, 1995

Probably the most pleasant surprise in last week's Oscar nominations was the inclusion of the superb Polish director Krysztof Kieslowski in the Best Director category for his film "Red." Kieslowski has been making films for more than 20 years, but he has just begun to receive recognition outside of Europe, which is a shame because each of the five Kieslowski films I've seen is hugely impressive.

'Constituency by class year is a fallacious assumption'

By Brandon Del Pozo | February 22, 1995

To the Editor: The editorial board of The Dartmouth, in its effort to tell the community what changes the Student Assembly should enact, made a glaring though common mistake in suggesting that individual classes elect at-large members only from within their class in order to create a feeling of constituency. Distinction by class year is purely arbitrary, as individual classes do not have individual needs.

'Hatred and bigotry under the cloak of cowardice'

By M. Lee Pelton | February 21, 1995

To the Dartmouth Community: On Thursday, Feb. 16, the undergraduate co-chair of the Dartmouth, Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Organization (DaGLO) received in the DaGLO Hinman box a flier announcing a meeting scheduled for Saturday evening, entitled "Let's Talk About Faggots." Included among several topics for discussion were "Is it OK to shoot gays?" Additionally, while the flier commented that "homosexuals have an agenda aimed at earning complete tolerance and equality in America," it promised that "on February l8, we will talk about why gays do NOT deserve special rights." The purpose of this flier appears to have been to provoke and hurt members of the Dartmouth community through its overall invective tone and, especially, through its references to inflicting violence upon gay men and lesbians.

Virtual Cow-Tipping

By Kevin Walsh | February 21, 1995

Pondering what to write about this week, I first decided that I would check out the paper and see what was going on in the world outside of Hanover.

C&G - Divisive & Selective

By David Siff | February 21, 1995

I had my heart set, as a freshman, on joining Casque and Gauntlet when I became a senior. I saw this as the recognition of my yet-to-come contributions to Dartmouth.

Shopping for A's on Public

By Brian Deaner | February 20, 1995

The administrators of Dartmouth undoubtedly want to improve the Big Green's academic reputation. In fact, the Class of 1998 has seen the unveiling of a new academic program that requires a more diverse array of liberal arts courses as well as a culminating experience before graduation. Part of this intellectual grooming includes a plan that will list the median grade given in a course next to the grade students receive.

Evidence Against Political Apathy

By Jim Brennan | February 17, 1995

I'm glad that I deciided to take Speech 25 this term. The class is on persuasive speaking, and all of us in it pick a topic or issue in which we're interested to look at in depth over the term.

Greek System Benefits Community

By Lee Grinberg | February 17, 1995

The Presidents of Dartmouth's fraternities, sororities, and coed houses feel that it is time to address certain misconceptions about the Greek system and relate many of its positive contributions to the Dartmouth and Hanover/Lebanon communities.

'Evil Face of Prejudice'

By William Summers | February 17, 1995

To the Editor: Once again the evil face of prejudice reveals itself in the Upper Valley. Your piece on the program at the Ray School should have sought out individuals like me who have children in the school for an alternative and positive correcting opinion to those expressed by Ms. Whitney et al. Our foster daughter loved the program by the Flirtations, and I and my wife were thrilled by the initiative of the committee on diversity at the Ray school to bring them there.
