Voting Record In Balance

|

Now that I have been elected to the Student Assembly, I can only assume that with my position comes a staggering power and a weighty responsibility - at any moment I could be called upon to impeach Danielle Moore '95 or boycott a cafeteria. Because of this, I have done much thinking about the issues that affect us, and for the benefit of my constituents - those six guys who have rifled through the recycling bin at the Hop for a D and are reading this as we speak - I present a clip-and-save version of my stance on the issues: Freshman dorms: This is a great idea.

Remember Los Angeles, Aril 29

|

April 29, 1992 ... everyone remembers the controversial verdict in the case of Rodney King and the awful symbolism it represented to the black community. Everyone remembers the civil unrest and rioting that ensued in South-central Los Angeles as a result of the court decision.

Confessions of a Crybaby

|

If you ever went to camp, you were probably asked at some point to sit down with your tent or cabin group and make a list of rules: don't hit, don't steal, don't say mean things, do your job on the job wheel, be nice to everyone, etc.

Why Suicide?

|

It has been almost two weeks since I first heard about the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, and something about it continues to bother me. I considered myself a fan of Nirvana in only the most casual way; I own both "Nevermind" and "In Utero," and I think they're both terrifically accomplished records.

Legacies, NO Longer

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

|

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

|

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

|

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.
