The Little Green Blog: The Sheer Lunacy of the Christian Right
http://thelittlegreenblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-sheer-lunacy-of-christian-right.html
Letters to the Editor. August 2, 2012. The Sheer Lunacy of the Christian Right. I want you to go back to the last paragraph and read that last sentence. We were supposed to show our support for Jesus Christ by giving money to a corporation so it could give its profits to causes that serve only to demean our fellow man (or woman). Don’t believe me? What Would Jesus Do? Probably not eat at Chick fil-A. Posted by Christopher D. Chavis. Political correctness seems to be the new morality. Ive run across a lot...

The Little Green Blog: Crowdsourcing: Housing Continuity
http://thelittlegreenblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/crowdsourcing-housing-continuity.html
Letters to the Editor. July 11, 2012. Earlier this week, The D reported. That Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson fancies stricter alcohol policies. In particular, Dean Johnson described new rules whereby hard liquor can only be served by licensed bartenders. Never mind that it is already illegal to serve, possess or consume alcohol underage, or that licensure in New Hampshire is fairly cheap and simple to obtain. A bartender's license will definitely. Assuming - or, in this case, maybe just hoping - t...

The Little Green Blog: April 2011
http://thelittlegreenblog.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Letters to the Editor. April 20, 2011. The Making of a Shadow President. In recent posts, this space endorsed Will Hix 12. In his race for Student Assembly president. In addition to his bona fides as a campus leader. And considerable gravitas, we believed that Mr. Hixs candidacy constituted a valuable cause for the student body. An egregious decision. Posted by Brice D. L. Acree. April 16, 2011. Hix '12, Dartmouth Student Body, both shafted in student election. Max Yoeli 12 - 691 votes (16.5%. Oh, thats ...

http://thelittlegreenblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/consequences-of-active-board.html
Letters to the Editor. June 17, 2012. Consequences of an Active Board. Photo courtesy of the Washington Post. The Board of Visitors (i.e., the trustees) of the University of Virginia asked President Teresa Sullivan to resign about a week ago. The board hatched the plan. Over several months, led by the rector Helen Dragas, but apparently did not inform the University's president until June 8. The furor following pushed the faculty to declare no confidence. By the Washington Post. Dartmouth alumni should n...

The Little Green Blog: The Virginians, They Smell Blood
http://thelittlegreenblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/virginians-they-smell-blood.html
Letters to the Editor. June 18, 2012. The Virginians, They Smell Blood. Image courtesy of the Lee Foundation. During most of the past week, protests erupted amongst faculty and staff. Members of the administration were, however, largely silent, offering implicit endorsements of the board's authority. If not its decision writ large. On Sunday, the University's chief academic officer, Provost John Simon, broke that uneasy silence. In an address to the faculty senate. Viewed in context, Mr. Simon's rema...

Letters to the Editor. March 30, 2012. JK Trotter's Joe Asch IvyGate Meltdown! IvyGate editor J.K. Trotter today unleashed a mouth-foaming, veins-bulging, pants-crapping diatribe. More worthy of IvyGate heroines Sara Ackerman. Ger Joe Asch. Trotter, whose IvyGate Blog. Makes its name (and money) by publicly embarrassing private students of the Ivy League, took issues with Mr. Aschs nefarious attempt to ruin a student journalist’s life(! In a frat basement? Due only to said staff member’s age, Asch&...

Letters to the Editor. June 24, 2011. Liberals and Conservatives Overlap on Libya. Democrats and Republicans have sharply divergent views about most political issues today. The proper role of government and how expansive a welfare state there should be are but two examples. Foreign policy though has turned out to be an exception to this rule in recent weeks. To read this post, go here. Posted by Marcus Alexander Gadson. June 17, 2011. Thoughts on the Ryan Plan. To read the rest of this post, go here.
