Opinion

A magazine in need of a new direction

|

The Dartmouth community tries to cultivate an atmosphere conducive to education. It offers an objective, liberal program constructed with a sense of maturity and equanimity suited to such learning.

A whitewater whitewash quiz

|

As hard as it may be to believe, the Clinton White House is under siege once again. Allegations of criminality, corruption and cover-up are being levelled almost as often as requests for the appointment of a special prosecutor.

Real Expectations for Student Center

|

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

Editor's Note

|

The Dartmouth received nearly 80 letters in response to Matthew Berry's column "Soft-porn in Spare Rib was offensive to me."

Advertising in Spare Rib

|

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

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.
