Racial Divisions
07 March 2001
Self-segregation. The term suggests a group of people who willingly choose to separate themselves from the rest of the community. Using the term makes the assumption that those "self-segregationists" have consciously made a choice to remain closed within their own respective communities, that they have chosen to create divisions between people like them and not [...]

The Factions of Familiarity
07 March 2001
In an era that introduced affirmative action, our country has become increasingly concerned with diversity. Every major institution has moved toward integration. Like most of the nation’s other universities, Dartmouth has also been trying to diversify its campus. So far the administration has been pleased with its work, loudly touting its new diversity. It is [...]

Not Just Pleasure at the Playboy Mansion
07 March 2001
Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am not anti-sex. Not only am I not anti-sex, but I whole-heartedly support the frank and open discussion of sex and sexuality. At Dartmouth especially, I believe this to be crucial. I also want make it plain that feminism is not anti-sex. Despite what the propaganda of the [...]

The Big Green Classist Machine
07 March 2001
Dartmouth is considered one of the finest educational institutions on the planet. But the education it offers is clearly biased and one-sided towards supporting capitalist hegemony and exploitation. Despite its rhetoric about helping working-class students attend the College, its financial aid policy clearly discriminates against poor and working-class students, serving the interests of the institution [...]

Feeling Racism
07 March 2001
I am beginning to detest political correctness! Maybe I am just from the school of thought that wants to know how people really feel. It’s not that negative opinions don’t hurtÓof course they do. But I would take a cross-burning-hate-spouting-hood-wearing Ku Klux Klan member over a person who thought the same things, but never dared [...]

The Subtle Treachery of ‘Benign’ Racism
07 March 2001
When you work at the library like I do, you are bound to be attacked by a book every now and then. They leap off shelves armed with hard, sharp corners. But I’m a trooper. I can take the physical pain. Unfortunately, the books in the library are often (literally) stuck with something a lot [...]

Michael Marlow Responds
23 February 2001
made the assumption that Orozco’s murals were serious art. My article was not about the Orozco murals except in how they related to the Hovey Murals. I did not think it was appropriate for me to extensively research Orozco’s work, given the scope of my article. My understanding of the Orozco murals is that they [...]

Letters to the Editorial Board
23 February 2001
o the Editors: I would like to respond to Michael Marlow’s recent article “Racist Hovey Murals Not Worth Costs of Preservation” (January 23, 2000). Mr. Marlow writes about Humphrey’s song, that the words show “disrespect for Orozco”, as if this is, in itself, a bad thing. Perhaps Orozco was a jerk. Perhaps he was commissioned [...]

Common Share – 1.3
23 February 2001
Indentured Journalism Journalism schools encourage their students to publish widely, right? Durga Raghunath, a graduate student at the Indiana University School of Journalism, recently found out otherwise. After Raghunath wrote a piece for a local alternative newspaper, The Bloomington Independent, she was told she could no longer write for the campus paper, The Indiana Daily Student. [...]

U.S. Firms Test Drugs Unethically Abroad
23 February 2001
The mantra of capitalism is that you have to spend money to make money. Must the same be true about human life? The exploitation of human beings for drug testing in developing countries is becoming an increasingly common practice. Major drug companies make experiments on people in the developing world in unregulated tests that are [...]
