Oops
08 April 2001
t reminds me of the people news magazines and talk shows love to interview. Did you know your next-door neighbor was a serial killer? "Oh no. But he was such a nice young man. Who would’ve thought?"

Socially Responsible Investing at Dartmouth
08 April 2001
s members of the Dartmouth community, we all share the responsibility for upholding the "Principles of Community."

Dartmouth does not operate according to the [...]

The Next Day and After
08 April 2001
Imagine the possibilities: A whole bunch of students sitting around in the same room discussing common academic interests. Oh right, you’re in class. Imagine a whole bunch of similarly socialized students spending lots of quality time with each other in the same house. Oh right, you’re in a fraternity. Now imagine you’re sitting around with [...]

Letter from the Editorial Board

ast fall, we began publishing The Dartmouth Free Press in order to initiate and support reform and activism at Dartmouth.

The Psi U incident is no plea for social equality, nor is it some telling tale about how underlying racial and gender tensions permeate the Dartmouth community. [...]

Scalping Racism
07 March 2001
Racism is a serious problem at Dartmouth, and racially motivated incidents will continue to occur until the Dartmouth community challenges that racism.

But when they manifest as concrete incidents, these events are an opportunity for us [...]

07 March 2001
Dartmouth isn’t the only college where Native American mascots are a hotly debated subject. Students at the University of North Dakota have begun a recent push to eliminate the "Fighting Sioux" as the school’s mascot.

In Defense of Cultural Sensitivity
07 March 2001
I am not defending political correctness as we commonly see it. I have never met anyone who openly advocates that we should all be "politically correct." Rather, "political correctness" is a derogatory term used to cast doubt upon the idea that we should be sensitive about offending cultural minorities and other oppressed groups in our [...]
