To the Editor: It seems that Allison Sciortino has not learned completely from her Florida vacation (March 31). If she did, then she would not have glorified her first-wave immigrant ancestors and condemned "modern" immigrants. Assimilation is a process that takes several generations.
After the first free South African elections, as a sign of the beginning of the "New South Africa," we now have two national anthems -- "Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika" and "Die Stem." While I believe that both hymns are beautiful in their praise of Africa and its people, they have, over the years, come to represent the plight of the oppressed and the cry of the oppressor. During the African National Congress' thirty year exile, "Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika" became one of the few permissible resistance songs to oppressive white rule.
There was a time when discrimination was the rule at Dartmouth. Admission here was contingent upon being male and white, and once you got in, many social organizations were only open to people of the same religion.

If there is one thing more frustrating than playing a game you can't possibly win, it's playing when the referee isn't paying attention to the game. A smart team adjusts quickly to a bad ref.
Since that memorable August, when I first arrived at Dartmouth and began writing for The Dartmouth Review, the question in my mind has been: Can Dartmouth students, who seem to be so robust in body and indolent in mind, deal with intellectual diversity and depth in a campus publication?
This is not a pipe dream. It's a Green Key manifesto. Roll away ...A solar eclipse, people wearing shorts, rumors about cancelled classes.
It's spring and love is in the air. The birds and the bees are making merry and you're in the prime of your life.
Although I am certain they do not realize it, certain students at Dartmouth, especially those in Bones Gate fraternity, have forever altered my conception of Cinco de Mayo.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article entitled "Stewart '96 in intensive care" in the April 18 issue of The Dartmouth, concerning the injury that Jonathon Stewart received last weekend after his apparent fall from the second floor of his fraternity.
To the Editor: I just downloaded the residential floor plans available on PUBLIC from the Office of Residential Life.
To the Editor: Tuesday's eclipse provided me with an epiphany. Ignoring the advice of those ignorant scientists who warned against looking straight into the sun, I did exactly that.
Over the past few weeks a number of students have advocated changes in the housing structure, discussing issues such as freshmen dorms and the housing shortage.
In his column in The New York Times a couple of weeks ago,Russell Baker summed up quite well how the press of late has been reluctant to seize upon real issues and instead has indulged in feeding frenzies on whatever the trash of the day happens to be. Particularly in the case of the Clintons, he contended in "The Politics of Hate," the attacks have been quite vituperative and very often below the belt, both literally and figuratively. Bill Clinton's sexual life should not be a matter of public discourse; nor should any President's, for that matter. At any rate, plenty of presidents have indulged in extramarital affairs, including none other than Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom many have deemed a great president.
