BlitzMail habits don't always fit in

|

As Dartmouth students, we are bombarded by technology. Amidst the granite of New Hampshire with its splendorous natural endowment and idyllic terrain we send blazing, state-of-the-art electronic mail messages to each other and other addressees around the world.

One Anthem for United South Africa

|

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.

Equal Opportunity, More Than Words

|

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.
