College loans are an investment for the future

To the Editor: I applaud the op-ed on student loans ("Owing an Arm, a Leg and a Future," March 29) for its compelling arguments regarding the seriousness of the debt burdens many college graduates face upon receiving that mighty diploma, and the need for increased transparency to assure the best ethical compliance.

I believe the point being contested here is whether a new system supercedes or coexists with the old.

Trustees Need to Show More Understanding

To the Editor: In reading your article of April 19th, 1999 on the Trustees' next move in the social initiative, I noticed Trustee Dentzer stated, "The Board of Trustees owns the College." I have to question both the legal legitmacy and the tact with which this statement was made. First, I am not familiar with the charter of Dartmouth College, and I should be.

House Editorial Displays Hypocritical Intolerance

To the Editor: I am writing in response to your editorial piece on April 6. You stated that, and I quote: "Hate and intolerance have no place at Dartmouth, and those who feel the need to force their beliefs on others need to get the picture that such behavior is not welcomed here.
