Clinton to Blame, Not ROTC

|

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?

|

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

|

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

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

|

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

|

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?

"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

|

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

Nirvana Mainstream, Not Alternative

|

To the Editor: I was motivated to write this letter upon reading Dan Glazer's column concerning the death of Kurt Cobain ("Cobain's music expressed fears of Generation X," April 12). I find it unfortunate that many people have seen fit to attach the "alternative" label to the music of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

Participate in Assault Awareness

|

To the Editor: I would like to say thank you to seniors Christine Carter and Nicky Schmidt for their courage and emotional strength, not just in taking on and completing their fellowship projects, but also in taking their written projects one step further and presenting them in person.

Where the Assault Problem Lies

|

In attempting to address women's needs on campus, Student Assembly candidates offered better lighting, escort services, even security cameras for A-Lot to "prevent" sexual assault.


Opinion

Suspicions Founded

|

To the Editor: I am writing in regard to Won Joon Choe '97's outspoken column against The Dartmouth Review ("The Truth of the Matter at The Review," April 11). Daniel Garcia Diaz '95's resignation as Editor-in-Chief is disappointing, as are the suspicious circumstances surrounding his doing so.

Tuesday, April 12th - election day. Today we will decide who gets the not-so-enviable task of taking the reins of Dartmouth's little U.N., the Student Assembly.
