hen the opponents of the incitement of hatred and the proponents of unchecked free speech abut in the public sphere, sparks inevitably fly.

Beyond the Greek System
08 April 2001

Horowitz Protestors Miss the Point
08 April 2001
"Trillions of dollars in transfer payments have been made to African-Americans in the form of welfare benefits and racial preferences–all under the rationale of redressing historic racial grievances." "If not for the dedication of Americans of all ethnicities and colors to a society based on the principle that all men are created equal, blacks in America [...]

Booze or the Muse?
08 April 2001
ou choose. You pay $32,000 a year to attend Dartmouth,including a $156 student activity fee, you’d think that’s enough to cover, say, student activities. But if you want to make a box in the woodshop, you’ll have to pay five bucks for the orientation class before you even pick up a tool. Does a show [...]

The Path to Social Equality
08 April 2001
he incessant nitpicking over the constitutionality of gun control misses the larger issue. Rather than arguing over minutia, let us ignore the specific wording of the Second Amendment and examine what the Constitution as a whole means to our country.

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?"

ast fall, we began publishing The Dartmouth Free Press in order to initiate and support reform and activism at Dartmouth. Naturally, we were excited and pleased when we witnessed the “Speak-Out” rally two weeks ago outside Parkhurst Hall.

Letters to the Editorial Board
07 March 2001
So frat boys get drunk and yell at chicks, and chicks get pissed off, and suddenly that means that "the women and minorities of Dartmouth [are] asking for help?" 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. [...]
