In ROTC decision, Trustees Leant Support To Discrimination

By Sean Donahue | April 18, 1994

To the Editor: In their decision to allow the Reserve Officers' Training Corps to continue to exist at Dartmouth, the Trustees have leant their support not only to the Pentagon's hateful policy of discrimination against lesbians, gays and bisexuals, but to the basic philosophical tenet on which any culture of violence is based - the belief that human beings are not unique individuals of infinite intrinsic worth, but rather a collection of attributes each of which can be used to identify, categorize, and evaluate people, providing a rationale for violence against a person, people or class. In the case of the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, openly lesbian, gay and bisexual women and men are evaluated solely on the basis of their sexuality.

What now for Gays and ROTC

By Brandon Del Pozo | April 18, 1994

I have personally invested a considerable amount of time and effort in doing my part to ensure that the future of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps remains secure here at Dartmouth. Naturally many people including myself are happy that the Trustees have voted to keep the program on campus.

Stand for Morals Today

By House Editorial | April 18, 1994

The Trustees claim they were in a tight spot this weekend. But really, they were in a key spot. They had the chance to make a difference and instead gave the College the go-ahead to remain exactly as it is: fearful and hostile toward its own gay, lesbian and bisexual community. In their statement, the Trustees asked for sympathy because they were called upon to "make an unconscionable choice as to which students to disadvantage" - the gay, lesbian and bisexual students or those involved in the Reserve Officer's Training Corps.

Reality Bites?

By Brandon Del Pozo | April 15, 1994

"Reality Bites"- the saga of our generation- Generation X. A generation unprepared for the real world, unable to fend for itself.

Nirvana Mainstream, Not Alternative

By Bruce Sneddon | April 15, 1994

To the Editor: I was motivated to write this letter upon reading Dan Glazer's column concerning the death of Kurt Cobain ("Cobain's music expressed fears of Generation X," April 12). I find it unfortunate that many people have seen fit to attach the "alternative" label to the music of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

By Suzanne Rosen | April 14, 1994

To the Editor: I would like to say thank you to seniors Christine Carter and Nicky Schmidt for their courage and emotional strength, not just in taking on and completing their fellowship projects, but also in taking their written projects one step further and presenting them in person.

Where the Assault Problem Lies

By Claire Unis | April 14, 1994

In attempting to address women's needs on campus, Student Assembly candidates offered better lighting, escort services, even security cameras for A-Lot to "prevent" sexual assault.

Suspicions Founded

By Tim Mccann | April 13, 1994

To the Editor: I am writing in regard to Won Joon Choe '97's outspoken column against The Dartmouth Review ("The Truth of the Matter at The Review," April 11). Daniel Garcia Diaz '95's resignation as Editor-in-Chief is disappointing, as are the suspicious circumstances surrounding his doing so.

Review Should Not Be Factor In Assembly Race

By Vijay Marpero | April 11, 1994

To the Editor: This letter is in response to Claire Unis' column "For the Next Assembly President," (April 8), and her misguided comments about certain Student Assembly presidential candidates. In her column, Unis attempts to ridicule and even dismiss, with the notable exception of those of Danielle Moore, the ideas of all of the Assembly Presidential candidates, but she especially attacks those of Jeremy Katz. Katz, who has served the student body as a judge on the Committee on Standards, an Assembly member, and SAE President, was one of the few Assembly presidential candidates that presented clear ideas for the benefit of the Dartmouth community, as opposed to generalities.
