To the Editor: Regarding Kelley Connolly's comments in Friday's edition of The Dartmouth ("We wanted to create an event for reducing the stigma about mental health issues on campus"): I am always amused by people who want to reduce the "stigma" of some other group, and who assert its existence in the process. Perhaps someone would like to address the "stigma" of Jews, or African Americans, or rape survivors at Dartmouth.
To the Editors: There is no "stigma" to mental illnesses (The Dartmouth, "Arthur '06 struggles with stigma of mental illness," May 18). Your employment of the term is unconscionable.
