Actions of Hanover Police are Breach of Rights, Cause for Concern; Arrests Made Without Probable Cause

By Russell Dalferes | October 31, 1994

To the Editor: The Dartmouth seems to have missed the point about the whole uproar over the Hanover Police policy. The editorial in Wednesday's issue of The D ("A Cause for Outrage?") states that the whole blitz barrage and discussion of the situation at hand is geared at protecting the underage "'right' to party." This is not the case.

Actions of Hanover Police are Breach of Rights, Cause for Concern; Arrests Made Without Probable Cause

By Mark Shahinian | October 31, 1994

To the Editor: Your editorial last Wednesday ("A Cause for Outrage?") was way off base. When trying to point out student political apathy, blaming students for reacting to civil rights violations does not help your argument. The Constitution protects our right to atheism, our right to revolution, and yes, our right to party.

Alcohol Can Kill; Has Killed Dartmouth Students

By Alex Huppe | October 28, 1994

To the Editor: As the person who is too frequently called upon to write obituaries for Dartmouth students, I'd like to make a small protest about the easy assumption that drunken students pose no harm to themselves when they walk from a party to a dormitory room. We could wish that were the case, but it isn't.

Take Control of Debate on Alcohol

By Danielle Moore | October 28, 1994

Dialogue and debate over alcohol are gaining momentum across the nation, somewhat in response to a report released by Columbia's Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse. This report is on the agenda of our very own Trustees, who will spend two hours of their November meeting hearing a presentation about the Columbia Center's report and discussing the issue of alcohol use at Dartmouth.

Deans' Advice to Trips Leaders Aimed for Informed Discussion

By Peter Goldsmith | October 28, 1994

To the Editor: Rebecca Liddicoat ("Allow Us Our Own Social Experiences," Oct. 24) appears to have adopted a view of deans which does not correspond with my experience of the work that we perform. Our primary charge is to see that students make the best possible use of the academic opportunities afforded them at Dartmouth and, to that end, we function as advisers and counselors to individual students throughout the day.

Listen to be Heard

By Allison Krasnow | October 27, 1994

Tuesday afternoon, as I sat watching a public forum at the Bernice A. Ray Elementary School in Hanover concerning an accusation of sexual harassment, I was confronted with a new challenge to my ideas of community. As an active volunteer working with children in the Upper Valley through several programs at the Tucker Foundation, I am continually re-evaluating the idea of community in my life and how this concept of community affects my presence and the kind of work I do.

To highlight our societal ills and to engender change, many groups have co-opted speakouts/vigils as modes of publicizing and politicizing communities.

A Cause for Outrage?

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | October 26, 1994

Once college students took risks to speak out about their convictions. Our predecessors protested Vietnam and fought for divestment because they believed in human rights, and they sacrificed their convenience to demonstrate the depth of their commitment.

Challenges of an Aging Population

Image, Infighting and Student Government Progress

By John Honovich | October 21, 1994

To the Editor: I am writing in response to Tim Young's column in the Oct. 17th issue concerning the Student Assembly ("Assembly Critics Wrong...") Young states,"The inevitable media war has already started and will go on nonstop throughout the campaign." This is ridiculous and implies the Assembly is going to be a circus. When published columns and letters advance viewpoints in a manner that disparages the Assembly in a public forum, members relegate the needs of students below political agendas.

Last summer I had a friend with an eating disorder. It took me a while to realize it, but after a while I noticed that even though she was probably the thinnest person I knew, she still always seemed to be concerned about gaining weight.While I was extremely concerned about her, I felt handcuffed.

Course Guide, the Best Ever

By Mike Corierre | October 20, 1994

To the Editor: No matter how well you do something at Dartmouth, you're going to be criticized. Dartmouth's political pundits are notorious for wanting it all, no matter what the facts are, and the 1994 Student Assembly Course Guide is no exception.
