18 Months for Murder

By Kevin Walsh | October 31, 1994

Human life is worth less and less in the world we live in. We hear about murders and deaths almost to a point of comfortable numbness.

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.

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

By Jim Brennan | October 21, 1994

I went to lunch this past Tuesday at the Rockefeller Center. It was one in a series of lunches in which some of us here at Dartmouth meet with some residents from Kendal, a retirement community on Lyme Road, and discuss political and social issues.

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.

Battling Eating Disorders

By Dan Richman | October 21, 1994

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.

Who Are the Feminists?

By Suzanne Rosen | October 19, 1994

Sometimes I feel like the air in the room gets tigher everytime I hear the word "feminist" or "feminism." It's as if every person in the room is taking a deep breath, and silently sucking in the last breath of fresh air before they get the smoke of another bra-burner. Then I think, "I must be imagining this tension because today's women don't burn their bras, but wear 'sportier' ones." Then why is that tension there?
