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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ORL's Steam Room

By Steve Fagell | April 18, 1994

Have you ever lived in New Hamp? Have you ever lived in a room in New Hamp that faces the heating plant as opposed to the street?

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.

Why ROTC Must Go

By House Editorial | April 15, 1994

The Board of Trustees will decide at its meeting this weekend to bolster the College's Principle of Equal Opportunity, or undermine it.
