An Argument Against Assisted Suicide

By Kevin Walsh | February 27, 1995

According to Luis Gallop, director of the New Hampshire chapter of the Hemlock Society, "Death with dignity is the coming thing." He was referring to assisted suicide, which was examined at a panel discussion this past Thursday. If Gallop has read the signs of the times correctly in coming to his conclusion, this does not augur well for either our individual or our collective future.

Reactions to 'Higher Learning' were disturbing

By Alexander Vogel | February 27, 1995

To the Editor: Having just returned from Thursday night's screening of John Singleton's "Higher Learning," I found that I was not nearly so disturbed by this poignant (albeit heavy-handed) film as I was by the reaction of the audience -- a group made up of my friends and classmates. Throughout the movie, which focused on issues surrounding the understanding (or lack thereof) of differences on America's college campuses, a small but vocal group of those in attendance saw fit to make public their reactions to it.

Senate Bill 85--The Right to Safety

By Deb Baltzer | February 27, 1995

In Concord last week, a hearing was held in front of the State Senate Judiciary Committee regarding New Hampshire State Senate Bill 85, or the "Free Access Bill." This bill was designed to ensure safe access for women to reproductive health services.

SA Resolution Is A Step Forward

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | February 23, 1995

The Student Assembly has made the right decision by supporting the motion to hire a full-time health care professional to serve the needs of Dartmouth's gay, lesbian and bisexual students. The new position would create "a health professional at Dick's house with special training on gay, lesbian and bisexual psychology to provide counseling and guidance." The creation of this position would not give gay, lesbian and bisexual students any special privileges.

Housing Policies Inconsistent

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.
