To the Editor: I wish to comment on the current debate over the "exclusivity" of Dartmouth's sororities (and, by extension, the Greek system as a whole). Those who decry the Greek system because of its "exclusivity" do so at the peril of a fundamental right that should not be abandoned lightly -- the right to free assembly.
To the Editor: In his letter to the editor on Friday, August 10 ("Not Everyone Has Privilege"), Jason Spitalnick contends that my suggestion to let one's dollars speak to the Administration is "narrow-minded, petty and largely misinformed". Mr. Spitalnick has drawn an innacurate impression of my suggestion.
To the Editor: In his August 6 editorial "Fascism at Dartmouth?", John Haskell bemoans the fact that Dartmouth students have no redress against the rampant betrayal of our rights by the College.
To the Editor: Dean of the College James Larimore was quoted as saying "It's clear to us from research that the most academically qualified students in the country are students who have an interest in being in a diverse educational community." This I find to be completely ludicrous.
To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article by Kathleen McDermott and Sabrina Peric in Monday's edition of The Dartmouth ("S&S Checks Routine for Some").

The first consideration is that, unlike Greek houses, affinity houses are owned and operated by the College, and are conscientiously administered like dorms.
To the Editor: I was one of the sponsors of the resolution on the Psi Upsilon incident that the Student Assembly passed Tuesday night.
