Students' Right to Speak at Public Forum

|

To the Editor: I was disheartened to see the column by Allison Krasnow (Oct. 27, 'Listen to be Heard') criticizing Dartmouth students who spoke at a forum on sexual harassment charges at the elementary school in Hanover.

Change Dining Punches

|

This past weekend I traveled to Harvard to visit a friend. Since it was the first time we had seen each other since going off to college, we naturally conversed on the various positive and negative aspects of our respective schools.

Support for Victims, Survirors of Domestic Violence Sure at Vigil, Untested Beyond; Credibility of Accounts Unquestionable

|

To the Editor: While I appreciate the coverage The Dartmouth has given the Domestic Violence Awareness Week events overall, I would like to express my concern about the house editorial in Thursday's paper titled "Speaking Out?" To begin with, I'd like to emphasize and applaud the strength and courage of the survivors of domestic violence who shared their stories at the vigil.

18 Months for Murder

|

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

|

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

|

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

|

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

|

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.
