Complete Assimilation Often Impossible for 'Modern' Immigrants

One Anthem for United South Africa
After the first free South African elections, as a sign of the beginning of the "New South Africa," we now have two national anthems -- "Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika" and "Die Stem."

Forum Magazine Brings New Perspective, Chance for Dialogue
Since that memorable August, when I first arrived at Dartmouth and began writing for The Dartmouth Review, the question in my mind has been: Can Dartmouth students, who seem to be so robust in body and indolent in mind, deal with intellectual diversity and depth in a campus publication?
