Re: Gene Robinson

What a crock that article was. If Gene Robinson were to visit Berlin, NH, he wouldn't get a reception like that. But do you think that would get a story in the Globe? No way.

And I see, Talcott, you gave the Globe a chance to give a dig at the Catholic Church. Bonus!

Now, tell me honestly: did no one express any dissent from the round of lionizing he seems to have received on campus? No one?

Well slap my face and call me Susan

Well twist my words and call me Talbott

I had dinner with Bishop-Elect The Rev. Gene Robinson last night.

Re: Why was this surprising?

That quote is appalling. Someone ought to hit Schweitzer over the head with a dictionary.

Or at least help her read it...

Why was this surprising?

Today's Daily Dartmouth reports: "Bush's ratings, while dipping, still remain high, with a recent Gallup poll indicating that his approval ratings stand at 56 percent." On campus, 22 percent of respondents view him favorably.
In the big stumper of the day they state: "Faculty and administrators tend to take even more negative views than do students. While 65 percent of students have an unfavorable view on Bush, only three of the 87 faculty members and administrators that responded hold a favorable impression of Bush."

They took the 'balanced institution' stance in today's issue, with English prof. Ivy Schweitzer quoted as saying: "the senior faculty tends to be more conservative in general, and as a group, than the younger faculty, and so fewer wield power. In that sense it is hard to say if conservatives are really a minority at Dartmouth", she said. "I think we have a very open forum for faculty to speak, from all sides of the political spectrum....Is the general atmosphere here 'liberal'? Yes, because we are a liberal arts institution, and liberal arts education is supposed to produce 'liberal' attitudes that encourage forward thinking ideas about inclusion, equality and innovation."

Evidently all three of those that responded to the survey in the affirmative on GW must be 'senior faculty', and the split of 3 to 84 definitely illustrates that it is hard to say what political leaning (in general) this illustrates. Hmm, now on to
your well balanced dinner...

Re: Our fellow alum...

Christian, I believe "A" signifies an arts and sciences graduate degree (such as MALS).

Possible Concert for early 2004

Jessica Simpson possibly coming to the Ivy League schools for concerts next winter/spring? Not that I'm a huge fan, but eye candy's still better than the mostly over-the-hill/mediocre pop acts the programming board usually brings to campus.

An age-old tradition

You can tell that primary season is heating up when you start seeing Linda Fowler quoted more and more.

Annual Wheelock, VT, story

It's the AP this time:
There appears to be little to connect the rural town in one of Vermont's poorest counties with the university 70 miles south in Hanover, N.H.

But Dartmouth owes its existence to Wheelock. In gratitude, Dartmouth continues to honor a 175-year-old commitment made when it was a struggling college desperate to feed its students and pay its bills.

Re: Kill Bill

Hmm, that's not all dreck. I take Kendo - Japanese fencing. So it wasn't a katana, but a shinai, a bamboo version of the samurai sword. And I was on my way to practice, so I had the shinai strapped to my Japanese motorcycle. I appreciated the symbolism, though it was born out of the exigencies of the moment.
