Haveyou ever wondered why certain parts of the body haven't evolved out of existence? Well this past Tuesday, I stood pondering such a physiological question.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to Dan Richman's column "Frats Must Change to Survive," (April 13, 1995). As a member of a Greek house and the Coed, Fraternity, Sorority Council, I think that we are all aware of the danger the Greek system faces.
To the Editor: Although Christopher Houpt '98 raises some valid points in his column "How Not to Get Into College" (April 25, 1995), we would like to point out that he unfortunately uses inaccurate information to validate some of his arguments.
Ashundreds of prospectives descend on Dartmouth this week, we should recall our own senior years in high school.
Whatkind of school is Dartmouth? Is this the kind of place where I would like to spend the next four years of my life? These are the kinds of questions that the many prospectives who have flooded the campus this past week have been asking.
To the Editor: I am writing to respond to Dan Richman's patronizing and ignorant commentary ("Awareness Awareness Week," April 21, 1995) regarding the "plethora of advocacy" by certain groups.
Thursdaynight, I participated in the "Take Back the Night" march for Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
Ifnothing else, the events of the last two weeks have shown that Sexual Assault is a complex issue.
Inthe spirit of Earthday, I've compiled a list of the top 10 things that you can do for the Earth right here at Dartmouth. Bring your own Enviro-mugs, silverware and reusables to Collis and the Hop.
To the Editor: A couple of weeks ago I wrote a letter to this newspaper because I had lost my pocketbook during Winter Carnival weekend and it was returned by an unknown person with everything in it.

Backin the late 19th century, publishers William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer discovered the value of shocking the public.
Youprobably noticed something unusual in front of Collis yesterday: piles of trash abounding on the front lawn.
To the Editor: The usual monotony of my Full Fare shift was interrupted this evening by a pleasant surprise visit from the women's theatrical group, the Untamed Shrews.
SexualAssault Awareness Week stands out as a significant time in my mind when many women come together on campus over an issue that affects us all.
Earlylast week seniors received a letter from Acting President James Wright stating, "After considering a whole range of factors and possible options, we have decided that the 1995 Commencement will be held in Memorial Stadium." Graduate on the football field?
To the Editor: The kindly attempt of Michael Beckley '96 to inform the world that The Dartmouth Review was a bastion of "tabloid journalism" surprised me.
To the Editor: The Student Assembly's Executive Committee should be ashamed of itself.Its resolution calling for Commencement on the Baker Lawn shows a clear lack of effort at gathering information about the College's decision to move the ceremony to Memorial Field. Although, like many seniors, I was upset at the announcement, after examining the College's reasoning I became convinced the decision is a logical one.Based on the statements made by Assembly President Rukmini Sichitiu and VicePresident John Honovich in The Dartmouth, the SA Execs apparently did not take any steps to become more informed about the issue before making their resolution. I had the opportunity to discuss the change of venue with Director of News Service Alex Huppe and Senior Advisor to the President Peter Gilbert, along with a group of concerned students.
To the Editor: Lest Aaron Klein's April 17 letter ("The College should have higher priorities than relocating the WRC") create any misconceptions about the Women's Resource Center's need for a larger and more centrally located physical plant, we would like to make a few points.
