Evidence Against Political Apathy

|

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

|

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'

|

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.

Toward Better Campus Publications

|

It's great to see a discussion taking place at Dartmouth about student publications. No campus can be considered fertile ground for intellectualism without the support of those publications, insofar as that it is the publications themselves that attract, highlight and promote intellectualism.

Dartmouth's Lost Weekends

|

There's an unusual new movie playing in a handful of American cities right now called "Mrs. Parker and The Vicious Circle." It chronicles the lives of the writer Dorothy Parker and her intellectual circle of friends that comprised the famous Algonquin Circle -- a group that pretty much sat around in their hotel lounge and drank themselves silly.

College Must Stop Supporting Frats

|

No law prohibiting underage drinking

|

To the Editor: In your article ("College tops Ivies," Feb. 7) about Dartmouth having the highest number of alcohol arrests, you say that College Proctor Robert McEwen "said the increase in underage drinking and public intoxication arrests could be due to better enforcement." Surely you incorrectly paraphrase McEwen; there is no such thing in New Hampshire as an arrest for underage drinking nor for public intoxication, as there is no law prohibiting either of these.
