Real Expectations for Student Center

By Amie Rappoport | January 6, 1994

To the Editor: Having served as a student member on the Campus Center Building Committee since 1991, I feel that the Dartmouth Community may have set standards and expectations for Collis higher than any building could ever live up to.

The loss of the Hungary FSP is a Loss for Dartmouth

By Andras Petery | January 5, 1994

To the Editor: As a recent participant on the Budapest Foreign Study Program, I think it necessary that the Dartmouth community realize the significance of the discontinuance of this FSP. Social science majors are deprived of an incredible opportunity to experience Hungary and the rest of East-Central Europe, but the real loss is back in Hanover.

ORL's Graduates in Residence, Needed and Worthwhile

By David Gonzalez | January 5, 1994

To the Editor: In his critique of the Graduate Associate pilot program, Ethan Ostrow '96 has some valid arguments (Graduate students not needed in dorms, The Dartmouth, November 18, 1993). I fully agree that "Dartmouth's attention is primarily fixed on the development of undergraduate life, both academic and residential." But I don't understand Ostrow's complaint that graduate students in the dorms don't further these goals.

CUaD's actions are not analogous to those of Luxon

By Thomas Luxon | November 24, 1993

To the Editor: I write to offer corrections to a misperception which The Dartmouth has perpetuated in its latest issues, once in a report on the Conservative Union at Dartmouth's crusade against Spare Rib ("Conservative Crusade," The Dartmouth, Nov.

Editor's Note

By The Editor | November 24, 1993

The Dartmouth received nearly 80 letters in response to Matthew Berry's column "Soft-porn in Spare Rib was offensive to me." Of these, the vast majority supported Spare Rib and/or its right to publish the "Sex Issue." Two of the letters supported Berry and the Conservative Union at Dartmouth and two discussed the issue without expressing an opinion.

Advertising in Spare Rib

By Courtney Murphy | November 24, 1993

In response to the controversy surrounding the latest issue of Spare Rib, I would like to clarify and discuss the stances taken by our advertisers. Although every business had a different response, they all agreed that they would not let anyone influence them in deciding whether or not they would advertise.

Answer the question

By House Editorial | November 24, 1993

Are things at Dartmouth College better than when you first got here? Students and professors, employees and administrators, alumni and the Board of Trustees should all pause for a moment or two of introspection. How is Dartmouth College doing these days? The question is asked often by college guide books and national media surveys of American schools, by prospective students and their parents. In a discussion about his years as College President, James Freedman said, "You go to bed thinking they may not say anything about you 25 years from now.

CUaD should grow up

By Tyler Newby | November 24, 1993

Dust off the ankle-mirrors and bring out the wrist-length dresses again. It seems that some students at Dartmouth wish for a return to Victorian society. I am writing in response to certain members of the Conservative Union at Dartmouth's reaction to the Spare Rib's recently distributed "Sex Issue." They charge that the issue is everything from filth to soft-core pornography. I charge that these reactions are from people who are uncomfortable with the thought of one of nature's most natural acts: sexual intercourse. It seems that Matthew Berry '94 and his cohorts regard anything that mentions S-E-X pornographic.

A sad state of affairs at the AAm

By Will Griffin | November 23, 1993

These are very sad times for the organization we know as the Afro-American Society. Unabated self-interest, envy, psychological insecurity and a petty quest for some sense of "control," have become the order of the day. Since this present Executive Committee took control last Spring, the AAm has been on a steady decline.

Misguided crusade

By House Editorial | November 23, 1993

Let's not talk about sex. Let's talk about constructive discourse and about dissent and debate in an Ivy League college community. A conservative crusade is being mounted against Spare Rib, a student-run women's issues publication.

'Soft-porn' in Spare Rib was offensive to me

By Matthew Berry | November 22, 1993

After reading last week's issue of Spare Rib, I thought of my childhood. I remembered when my parents would go out for the evening and hire a baby-sitter to watch my younger sister and me. The minute my parents left the house, my sister and I would begin to misbehave.

Cast off the shackles of daily planners

By Tyler Newby | November 22, 1993

It is no secret that Dartmouth students have an addiction to time. Everywhere you look, students, and occasionally professors and administrators, are stumbling around campus running into stationary objects and tripping down stairs.
