The Folly of First-Year Dorms

By Nina Mcadoo | April 28, 1994

The Committee on the First-Year Experience is due to make its recommendations at the end of the term.

Opinion

If you ever went to camp, you were probably asked at some point to sit down with your tent or cabin group and make a list of rules: don't hit, don't steal, don't say mean things, do your job on the job wheel, be nice to everyone, etc.

Affirmative Action Integral to Meritocracy

By William Eckhert | April 27, 1994

To the Editor: It is a regrettable fact of human nature that the most casual and sophistical minds are all too often the most outspoken.

Treat Accident with Respect for Victim

By Brian Boynton | April 25, 1994

To the Editor: Lately, the Trustees' decision to keep the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program has made a lot of news.

Why Suicide?

By Christopher Kelly | April 25, 1994

It has been almost two weeks since I first heard about the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, and something about it continues to bother me. I considered myself a fan of Nirvana in only the most casual way; I own both "Nevermind" and "In Utero," and I think they're both terrifically accomplished records.

Freedom For Gay Identity Hangs in Doubt

By Schuyler Henderson | April 25, 1994

To the Editor: The reason why it is important to keep the ROTC issue alive within the Dartmouth journals is very simple.

Legacies, NO Longer

By Matthew Berry | April 25, 1994

Admissions decisions should be based on individual merit alone. That simple slogan, while nice in theory, would be quite messy to implement in practice.

U.S. Military Better Off with Liberal ROTC

By Mike Pevzner | April 22, 1994

To the Editor: Now that the Trustees have given their approval to retaining the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program on this campus, it is my sincere desire to restore a balanced relationship with the Dartmouth community, and especially with the Dartmouth Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Organization and those faculty members who voted to oust the program. Army ROTC has throughout its short recent history at the College (it had only returned to the campus in 1985) endeavored to maintain a low profile at Dartmouth.

ROTC Matters in Fight against Homophobia

By Heather Searles | April 21, 1994

To the Editor: I really must express my gratitude to Dan Richman '95 for his column ("The True Problem for Gays and the Military," April 20). Here I was thinking that the reason that my father has warned me that if I'm queer I'm not welcome home and the reason that I have to worry each time I "come out" that I might be losing a friend is because ROTC is on this campus.

Three Lines that Hold Us Together

By Claire Unis | April 21, 1994

There's nothing like breakfast with a Trustee of the College to get you thinking about how very temporary we are.

The Real Problem for Gays and the Military

By Dan Richman | April 20, 1994

Last Saturday, the Trustees voted to continue the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program and by Monday morning, I found a copy of The Dartmouth in my Hinman Box with three stories and three editorials about ROTC.

Thank Thornton, Native Studies For Contribution to College

By Mollie Heath | April 20, 1994

To the Editor: After hearing Cherokee Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller speak about issues concerning her nation and other groups of Native People in the United States, I wish to express my gratitude to her for coming to Dartmouth.

Opinion

Food Court Incompetent

By Linda Brewer | April 20, 1994

To the Editor: In your April 8, 1994 issue of The Dartmouth, you published an article entitled "Dining Services Delivers Here." Well let me tell you, it didn't deliver here.

Opinion

Others Disqualified for Military Service

By Adam Medros | April 20, 1994

To the Editor: Lest we forget, Dartmouth is an educational institution. Its purpose is to provide an education, and ROTC is one way someone might be able to afford that education.

Opinion

Clinton to Blame, Not ROTC

By Brian Sung | April 20, 1994

While running for president, Bill Clinton was able to win the support of gay-rights activists by pledging to remove the military's long-standing ban on homosexuals.

Opinion

College Should Join Plaintiffs Against Pentagon

By Charles Stinson | April 19, 1994

To the Editor: Their excellencies the Trustees lament that they have been forced to "an unconscionable choice" between justice to gay people and justice to ROTC cadets.

Opinion

Why the Anger?

By Shimi Subramaniam | April 19, 1994

To the Editor: I will not debate the Trustee statement with Brandon del Pozo '96, which I have already described as a huge insult.
