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.

Graduate students are not needed in dorms

By Ethan Ostrow | November 18, 1993

Dartmouth dormitory life has been disturbed by the nuisance of uninvited guests. The Office of Residential Life's pilot program to house graduate students in undergraduate dorms has stealthily infiltrated the domain of students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. What was a contested proposal last year has quietly become a reality, and in the process Dartmouth has lost some of that celebrated collegiate ambiance. The personality of this school is derived from the notion of undergraduate education itself.

Opinion

Referendum is the beginning of debate

By Nicole Artzer | November 16, 1993

Ever since Student Assembly announced the eferendum on single-sex houses in the Greek system, there has been a renewed debate about the best approach in discussing social options. I think this is a good thing.

Separate is unequal

By The Dartmouth | November 15, 1993

Members of the Board of Trustees told students this weekend that they are not interested in making any decisions about the College's single-sex social organizations.

Merchants: help students

By Nina Mcadoo | November 11, 1993

I have heard enough from the Hanover merchants about how Topside violates zoning laws, and that the College is trying to put them out of business.

Opinion

Take direct action

By The Dartmouth | November 11, 1993

Today the Student Assembly is conducting a poll to gauge student sentiment on whether single-sex Greek organizations should remain on campus. The poll is not constructive, because the question is weighted in a way that ignores the grey areas of a complex issue, seeking instead an artificial determination of black or white.

Opinion

SA question doesn't get at problem

By Brandon Del Pozo | November 11, 1993

Regardless of how the referendum turns out, the debate over the Greek system will not end as long as there are drunken students vomiting up their guts in basements and on the street and stealing each other's furniture for fun. We lack a clear analysis of what the problem is, in simple English.
