Exploiting Difference
The
Boston Globe and the Race Card
by M. Ryan Clark
 The relationship between the
College and The Boston Globe is
well known to many on campus. Globe coverage of Dartmouth
events has been consistently sympathetic to the College,
and largely fabricated. “As Coed Greek System Looms, Dartmouth Sees
Rise in Minorities,” trumpeted a June 1, 1999 Globe article. Its conclusion: “Dartmouth's
Greek gamble appears to have paid off.”
Putting
Division in Diversity's Place
by Andrew Grossman
The
scramble is on as every student organization, ethnic
group, and special interest on campus maneuvers to get a
piece of the Trustee initiative pie. The first step of
the process toward a final residential life plan, the
Residential and Social Life Task Force's report on the
Trustee Student Life Initiative, was released last week,
and its contents provide insight into the form that the
trustee's final decision will take next term.
A
Dishonorable Dartmouth Degree
by Christopher
Pearson
On June 13, Dartmouth
College bestowed an honorary degree on Johnetta Cole,
former president of Spelman College and a member of the
board of Coca-Cola. For Ms. Cole, it was yet another
degree in her growing stable of university accolades.
Yet, in choosing to honor Ms. Cole, all of these
institutions, including Dartmouth, have ignored a
disturbing aspect of her career. In the past two decades,
she has played an active role in Communist and
anti-Israel organizations, extracurriculars that may have
ended her chances of being appointed Secretary of
Education in the first Clinton Administration.

“Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win great triumphs, even though
checkered by failure, than to rank with those
poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer
much, because they live in the gray twilight that
knows neither victory nor defeat.”
—Theodore
Roosevelt
