In response to the Editorial Board’s call for more right-leaning writers, Unai Montes-Irueste ’98 argues that The Dartmouth should instead spotlight “more directly impacted voices.”
Dartmouth’s administration deserves to be scrutinized more than it is.

Re: Swastika drawn on floor outside Jewish student’s dorm room Swastikas, nooses or burning crosses should never be allowed. These symbols are used to inflict harm, not communicate.

Dartmouth alumni from three different decades demand responsible leadership from College President Sian Leah Beilock.
The article "College allocates campus space" [The Dartmouth, May 22] frustrated me tremendously. This article discussed the Facilities Advisory Committee, described the plight of the Women's Resource Center to move to a larger more central location, talked about Alpha Xi Delta's recent occupation of the Beta Theta Pi house and even managed to mention newly recognized Lambda Upsilon Lambda fraternity's desire to one day attain a permanent space for their organization.
I am a very prejudiced person. Far be it from me to pretend as if I do not emit racism, sexism, homophobia, ethnocentrism and classism into the Dartmouth environment on a regular basis; and while I blame a society that does not care for its children for most of my acculturated bigotry, I do not absolve myself of the responsibility of perpetuating jingoist attitudes, nor do I deny my greater obligation to attempt to prevent the transmission of my narrow-mindedness to my children. Recently a friend of mine called me a "hypocrite" because she perceived that I had a very harsh attitude towards whites which was incongruous with the highly-tolerant/anti-discriminatory image that I projected as a "campus-activist." To say the least I was very shocked and quite hurt to be accused of the greatest sin in the hierarchy of Dante's inferno (the two obvious hypocrites from the tradition of the Western canon--Judas the two-faced betrayer of Christ and Brutus his counterpart in Caesar's kingdom--are forever being consumed in Dis' mouth in the ninth circle of hell). My immediate reaction was of course to deny the charge as well as to try and contextualize any and all statements I may have made in my Dartmouth career alluding to individuals or groupings of them in which I used the word "white" as a qualifier or an indicative of a behavior, pre-disposition, temperament, et cetera.
Censhorship has never resolved any problem of human miscommunication or misunderstanding. Language and ideas only truly belong to those who put them upon printed pages, or utter them into the audible air, when both the transmission of the message and the manner in which it is received can be controlled; otherwise, words and concepts are subject to multiple meanings, implications, interpretations and project disparate moral and ethical intentions.
Like many Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents I recently attended the viewing of Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life and was instantly reminded of the controversy incited by this author's life and works.
