WDCR censors conservative opinions

By Matthew Berry | October 11, 1993

Two weeks ago, I was invited to appear on On Target, WDCR-AM's hour-long public affairs show which normally airs Sundays at 6:00 p.m. Other invited guests included Student Assembly President Nicole Artzer '94, SA Vice President Steve Costalas '94, Class of 1995 President Tim Rodenberger '95, former SA Executive Committee member Jesse Russell '96, and SA Representatives Grant Bosse '94 and Jeff Bell '96. Costalas and Bell were unable to attend the taping on Sunday afternoon so the show was set to take place with Artzer, Russell, Bosse, Rodenberger, myself and moderator Bill Hall '96. The topics for debate were to include the formation of the Student Assembly Ad Hoc Committee on Procedure, the Student Assembly agenda for the year, and the future of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program on campus. At 12:30 p.m.

All of our social ills cannot be blamed on frats

By Brandon Del Pozo | October 8, 1993

Well, the decision has been made: I am an official Frat Boy. I was almost deterred by those well-thought out posters that were hanging around campus, as there message was very clearly reasoned: "Rush -- and become another f**king Dartmouth frat boy." Wow -- with persuasive arguments like that, I was almost tempted to join the poster-hangers! I'm sure you're all wondering what secret ceremonies go on inside the hallowed halls of frat row.

Early SA politicking is reprehensible

By Kishan Putta | October 8, 1993

After attending the most bureaucratic Student Assembly meeting I have yet to take part in this past Tuesday, my frustrations focused on two points. One involves the "ad hoc committee on procedure" which has been much publicized this past week in The Dartmouth.

We have better things to do

By Leanne Armano | October 7, 1993

Women of Dartmouth, throw down your beers, renounce your trust funds. Starch those aprons your grandmother saved for your wedding trunks and dust off your copies of Joy of Cooking.

Do not realign baseball

By Ethan Ostrow | October 6, 1993

Next year I suppose I will be waiting anxiously to see if my hometown baseball team can earn a wild card berth in the American League Central division.

Extend finals library hours

By Tyler Newby | October 6, 1993

Although finals are not something to look forward to, try picturing this scenario: It's late, you are tucked far back in the stacks of Baker Library, and you are trying to cram 10 weeks of reading into one night.

Michigan's Engler shows what government can do

By Matthew Berry | October 4, 1993

With the Clinton administration firmly ensconced in Washington D.C. and the Freedman administration entrenched in Hanover, as a conservative columnist, it is very easy to lapse into a pattern of only complaining about what is wrong in our nation and at our College. Not eager to become, in former Vice President Spiro Agnew's words, "a nattering nebob of negativity," this week I wanted to let you know about a place where government is actually succeeding.

'Rush terrorists' irresponsible

By Ryan Victor | October 4, 1993

Well, rush is over for the fall of 1993, and I couldn't be more relieved. I'm glad not so much because it is an exhausting experience, but because every year it seems to bring the worst out of Dartmouth students, just for a few days. During the days of rush, it is remarkable how little respect anti-Greeks show their fellow students and how poorly they regard the intelligence of their fellow students. I'm not talking about those (I apologize most sincerely for forgetting your name) who stand outside dining halls and attempt to engage students in informal dialogue about the pros and cons of the Greek system. I'm referring to the "rush terrorists," people who self-righteously proclaim the evils of the Greek system and then retreat into the shadows to congratulate each other's heroism in anonymity.

Rush questions

By Christopher Carson | October 1, 1993

I have some questions about the fraternity system. I am addressing these questions to the Dartmouth community with the hope that they will not be taken as a cynical stream of challenge, but as a voice in the dialogue that must be continued. First and foremost at this time of rushing, I question the need for a social system of exclusion.

Make weight room more accessible

By Tyler Newby | October 1, 1993

Physical fitness is becoming less accessible for the average Dartmouth student. A friend and I were recently on our way to the Kresge Fitness Center when we met two people returning from the fitness center.

A new social experience

By Amiri Barksdale | September 30, 1993

How many of you Dartmouth men wish that there was more to the social life here than getting drunk with buddies and going to the same old fraternities and meeting the same old 115-pound waifs with trust funds? If you are the least bit like me, there must be quite a few of you who have just about reached your limit with these women.

I depledged my sorority

By The Dartmouth | September 29, 1993

I depledged my sorority at the end of Summer term 1993. Although there a few other motivational forces, the reason I ended my membership was that as a woman of color I felt very uncomfortable in Dartmouth's mainstream sorority system.
