When Chris Kelly '96, suggests in his column "Lessons to Learn From 'Spanking The Monkey'" (Jan. 30) that there should be more explicit and widespread campus discourse about sex, he champions a central, and deplorable, aspect of modernity: the replacement of the idea of love with the reality of sex. Kelly is not the first to revolt against love in the name of sex.
Twenty-five years ago this April, environmental leaders from across the country held the first Earth Day.
Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chechnya, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; all are places that have gained infamy in recent years.
To the Editor: Perhaps in his little corner of the Dartmouth world, everyone he knows is a "hyper competitive freak" ("Laser Tag -- More Than a Game" Jan.
Standing with my arms folded at last Friday's Dave Matthew's Band concert, my stomach began to churn and my mind to turn. The opening act, Ugly Americans, sung such eloquent lyrics as, "Marijuana.
I was convinced last week by a number of people that the best way to spend my Friday evening would be playing laser tag at Webster Hall. Upon consenting to the activity, a few things flashed through my mind.
After reading about the administration's newest effort in the "how to make more money off students" game, ("New Dining Plan is Finalized," Jan.
During the elections of this past Novem ber, many deep changes took place, not only in who is in office and who is not, but also in the area of what is accepted and rejected by a majority of our society. Particularly in the pro-life arena, both positive and negative changes came to light.

The proposal, to allow students to drop courses without professors' permission until two weeks before the end of each term, gives students greater freedom to judge for themselves whether or not they want to stay in a course.
To the Editor: After three plus years of casually watching as campus policy makers repeatedly ignored the voices of the students and more importantly, the voice of reason, I cannot let your story about the new meal plan ("New Dining Plan is finalized," Jan.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the Student Assembly. Is it obsolete? Is it an adequate representation of student opinion?
It was Tuesday night and I was up late tooling for a Psychology 26 multiple-choice mid-term, mindlessly memorizing the potentially disastrous effects of sleep deprivation on a student's retention of rote facts.
Sometimes I wonder if it's okay to be happy or content or pleased with where you are and how your life is going.
I am grateful for the opportunity to reach the college through Dartmouth's print media. It is through this forum that I had wished not to offend the Student Assembly, but to study it in a serious manner. Legislative and representative bodies are important entities, and they consume a great deal of their members' time.
To the Editor: There has been recent discussion regarding a proposal that I made to change the course drop procedures.
Charles Dickens wrote in the opening lines of A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." His first paragraph rings true for the status of race relations at the majority of Ivy League schools. Since the early 1990s, steps have been taken to further develop the quality of resources available to increase the overall satisfaction of students affected by issues pertaining to diversity.
In the face of events which deny our understanding, we often fall back on our paradigmatic beliefs in order to contextualize them, to explain the inexplicable. So when I read about Dartmouth Broadcasting's incomprehensible intention to replace the College's AM free-form radio station, 1340 WDCR, with a 24-hour news station, I turned to the paradigms which we at Dartmouth use to understand our world.
