College Departments Discriminate Against Non-work-study Applicants

By William Guerin | October 12, 1994

To the Editor: I would like to call attention to a policy held by many employers at Dartmouth which I feel to be a contradiction of the College's policy of Equal Opportunity, as well as an abuse in spirit of federal grant money. Namely, the common non-acceptance of applications for employment from students who are not eligible for federal work-study subsidies. Under the federal program, Dartmouth receives "a grant from the federal government for the purpose of subsidizing part-time and full-time jobs for financial aid recipients" (Student Handbook, p.

Finding the Right Credit Card

By Jeff Morganstern | October 10, 1994

It sure is a great feeling to see your Hinman Box stuffed with mail. What a lousy feeling when everyone who writes to you is trying to sell something! Banks send mass mailings about their credit cards to every mailbox on this campus.

Why Welfare Reform is Necessary

By Claire Unis | October 7, 1994

Welfare frightens me. I almost cannot fathom living on welfare-- not just because of the material goods and security I know I take for granted, but because I cannot imagine living without hope of something better. This year the California State Legislature cut welfare funds again.

Make the Best out of Rushing the Field

By Matt Cooperber | October 4, 1994

To the Editor: A "hollow and spurious tradition?" "Hazing?" "Hitler Youth?!" I'd like to clarify a few facts about the much-maligned "rush" at football games. I went to a number of Dartmouth football games with my father in the mid '80s.

Disillusionment Over Haiti

By Rebecca Liddicoat | October 4, 1994

In Sunday's New York Times, the lead paragraph on Haiti read "Confusion over exactly what it is that American soldiers are supposed to be doing on Haiti's streets is growing almost as fast as the number of troops pouring in by air and sea." Reading about the floundering of our foreign policy in Haiti over the last months, my mood regarding it has gone from surprise to disappointment, to disillusionment, and finally to outright revulsion. That we would attempt to "restore democracy" to a nation that has never experienced it was ridiculous enough.

Insensitive Headlines

By Dana Brenner | October 4, 1994

To the Editor: Two recent headlines appearing on the front page of The Dartmouth warrant criticism for their insensitivity and inappropriateness. The first headline, from Tuesday, Sept.

Panarchy Free of Political Advocacy

By Sean Donahue | October 4, 1994

To the Editor: In your article, "Some flock to rush while others oppose," (Sept. 29), you wrote "Sean Donahue '96 and other members of Panarchy, an undergraduate society, began distributing pamphlets asking women and men interested in rush to reconsider their position." This is misleading -- not all of the people involved in making and distributing the flyers were members of Panarchy -- in fact, at least half of the people involved were not Panarchists.

A Conversation on Campus Community

By David Boldt | October 3, 1994

The warm ovation for Donna Shalala had just subsided, and all that remained of Dartmouth College's convocation program was the address by the student assembly president, a segment often noted mainly for its rich trove of treasured cliches. But today's speech was to be something different, something more along the lines of, well, a conversion experience. "Before I begin my speech," Danielle Moore told the audience of students and faculty, "I think it's important you know the changes that have taken place in my opinions and attitudes." She then sketched her student career.

Support and Judgement

By Claire Unis | September 29, 1994

I saw a swarm of '97 women leaving one sorority and heading for another a few nights ago. There was nothing particularly striking about them, except perhaps that they all looked so similar to me.
