Reflections on Dartmouth privaledge

A certain "Jo" sent this along to the Dartmouth College Republicans, who passed it along to TDR. It seems to be a response to Alston Ramsay's appearance on "Nightline" last night--but I can't say for sure, as I am not proficient in the crude proto-language in which it's written.

Dear Club:
I am not sure if the person that appearred on CNN last night regarding conversative paper and views on campus professors but would like some to share thoughts on that interview.

Amazing that person felt like they had to appear like a little Blond Hair Blue Eyed Patriotic whiner. He talked about how he and other conservatives felt that they had to bring up proffessors that were unfair due to their political views. How sad. One, why do all those that are conservative have to throw the flag up in the face of others. Even in the colors of a tie. Two, that person felt the professors were so unfair about how they graded conservative and republican views and they felt they were being picked on.

I'm tired of this approach of republicans and especially young republicans. You whine about affirmative action and then the professors. How sad. You who are white and go to Dartmouth have a privaledge that most americans don't have. One you're born mostly white. You have never been in proverty or had to fight for anything besides your cell phone bill. You are among the people that will be hired by companies and be told to believe in the corporate way. You will believe in corporate way and most of you will go on to be rich due to Dartmouth and your parents. Your views and political connections will never be in question other than what college tries to teach you, if the professors are really being bias but I doubt that. You never even heard what that kid from Madison said about the campus having many views and he never whined. He knew that republicans and democrats have been at that school for years and co existed and gone on to do great things.

I deal with republicans every day at work and can't say a word about what I believe. You learn in life that it isn't fair and I can have my own views and beliefs but at a cost. Republicans whine every day but have power right now in congress. You go to a school where you have the ability to get one of the best educations from a famous school but still whine. Boy babies.

Jo

At first I was offended, but then I realized that "Jo" had promised us untold wealth and success. Perhaps he/she is not such a bad sort after all.

#11 Dartmouth loses first game of season

And then there were none. #11 Dartmouth, the last unbeaten team in college hockey, lost to #2 Boston College in Boston 4-1 tonight. The game was not nearly as close as the score would indicate. The game could've easily been 10-1 except BC hit the post 3-4 times and Dartmouth netminder Dan Yacey '05 made some absolutely ridiculous saves, including one where he dove across an open net to save what appeared to be an easy goal.

Dartmouth's offense was non-existent, getting off only 15 shots to BC's 40.

Dartmouth falls to 4-1-3, 3-0-3 on the year. They'll take the ice again in Boston on Friday against #12 Boston U.

Weekly Hockey Polls

Both the Men and the Women's hockey teams will enter play this week being ranked in the national polls.

The Women are #2 in both the U.S. College Hockey Online (USCHO) and USA Today/American Hockey Magazine Polls. Dartmouth (7-0-0, 4-0-0) picked up two first place votes from #1 Minnesota in the USCHO poll after sweeping #9 Princeton and Yale. The team will host #4 Minnesota-Duluth for a pair of games this Friday and Saturday night at Thompson Arena. Game time both nights is 7 PM.

The Men enter the polls officially for the first time after being among those receiving votes since the season started. Dartmouth (4-0-3, 3-0-3) enters at #11 in both the USCHO poll, and the USA Today poll. The men play games five and six of their nine-game road trip in Boston this week, taking on #2 Boston College tomorrow night and #12 Boston University on Friday night. Last year Dartmouth defeated then-#1 BC 5-4 in OT at Thompson Arena despite being outshot 40-16.

Banjeree in the D

He's no Nilly, but Jay '04 offers up an excellent letter questioning the goal of inflammatory, anonymous anti-rape posters that have been ubiquitous on campus as of late.

One thing he fails to note is that the statistics on these posters (if they contain them) are suspect at best. Many originate from the late '80s and early '90s.
