In Defense of Hillary

|

Is anyone out there trying to pay as little attention to Whitewater as possible? For those concerned about the First Lady's role, disregard of the matter might be the most worthwhile position to take. Americans should be uncomfortable, to put it mildly, with the way the media, campaign handlers, politicians and the general public have treated Hillary Clinton from the very beginning.

Where do our tuition dollars go

|

To the Editor: Do you ever wonder what your tuition money actually pays for? If you're anything like me, this question must cross your mind quite often, in light of annual tuition hikes and constant campus debate over what to do with the College's money.

Housing Crunch Hits Home

|

Inadequate housing is a problem that is beginning to consume our campus. When the Office of Residential Life sent out our 1994-95 housing priority numbers last week, Dean Bud Beatty enclosed a letter detailing the overcrowding we will experience in the fall and explaining, quite simply, some of us will be denied dorm housing.

Odds On Assembly Vote '94

|

A year ago, Dartmouth students went to the polls a discontented lot. Angered by a ridiculously left wing and anti-Greek, do-nothing Student Assembly, voters "threw the bums out" and elected candidates of the center-right. This year's Assembly proved to be a mixed bag.

Need-Blind Admissions Not Provided by ROTC

|

To the Editor: In your article about the Student Assembly's report on ROTC ("SA drafts report backing ROTC," March 30), you write that the SA report states: "To remove ROTC would run contrary to the College's 'need blind' admission policy, and would fly in the face of any ideology which bars discrimination based upon economic status." Even though this is only a draft, it is important to correct a common misconception. What the Assembly report fails to realize is that the U.S.

You Knew It Coming In

|

I am not a syndicated columnist. I am really not all that opinionated. But I felt that after four years of lying back and complaining about everybody else complaining, I would do some complaining of my own. As my fellow countryman Mr. John Cleese so eloquently expressed, I am sick and tired of everybody complaining how sick and tired they are about being sick and tired Dartmouth is an isolated community.

The Good, The Bad and The NRO

|

We're all back in Hanover now and facing the somewhat unpleasant notion of three new classes. Many of you undoubtedly find yourselves scrambling to choose that third class each term and, to make your life easier, I have compiled a modest list of courses which I have found to be quite palatable, and others which are a bit less so. I have slaved for almost three years here in Hanover to bring you this valuable information.




Opinion

Vox Clamantis

|

To the Editor: I would like to correct an erroneous statement printed in The Dartmouth on Tuesday, March 8th ("Women's Health Services support pregnant students; condoms, pill most popular") that concerns RU 486. RU 486 is the French abortion pill and is very different from "the morning after pill." RU 486 is not available in the United States; it is a pill that induces spontaneous abortion up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy.

Visions at Four

|

Four o'clock in the morning and the paper is going nowhere. Slams and creaks and rattling panes provoke hallucinations about dreams you had or dreams you never had or things that happened and you forgot that they ever did.

Services of Facilities Operations and Management Vital

|

To the Editor: On February 3 The Dartmouth printed an interview with me concerning the reasoning behind our name change from "B and G," Buildings and Grounds, to "F,O and M," Facilities Operations and Management ("B and G changes name"). The reporter captured our interview accurately.

Two members of Beta Theta Pi fraternity were arrested a week ago by Hanover Police for violating New Hampshire's hazing law.
