Students Use Methods They Condemn
By Dave Hemmer | February 27, 1996Apparently hatred, slander and destruction of private property are the newest means of building community at Dartmouth. The distribution of the anonymously written publication "The Shit You Don't Hear About" late Sunday night represents the second hate crime at Dartmouth in less than a week. How dumping manure on fraternity lawns and dumping libelous trash on people's doorsteps can possibly build community is beyond me, but the authors of this trash had the audacity to call their work "An Informative Publication By and For the Dartmouth Community." How dare these anonymous, gutless authors claim to speak for the Dartmouth Community? These two acts of hatred should send shivers down the spine of any student who is serious about building a community on this campus, as they represent a far greater threat to community than racial slurs scrawled on a door or mud slung at a window. Those incidents, while vile, represent the isolated acts of individual bigots.
