More on MAJOR Story

Here's the email I sent to the chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. I sent similar emails to Dean Larimore and the chair of the Sociology Department. Feel free to send emails yourself. Their email addresses are:

Dean Jim Larimore: jim.larimore@dartmouth.edu
Marsha Swislocki, Chair, Department of Spanish and Portuguese: marsha.swislocki@dartmouth.edu
John L. Campbell, Chair, Sociology Department: john.l.campbell@dartmouth.edu

Dear Professor Swislocki,

My name is Emmett M. Hogan, and I am a 2001 graduate from Dartmouth. I recently read two pieces in The Daily Dartmouth that troubled me greatly. They are:

"Responsible Government," by Andrew Biteen '04 - January 23, 2003
http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=200301230201

"Students to Attend D.C. Protest," by Kaitlin Bell - January 16, 2003
http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=200301160104&is_date=2003-01-16

These pieces state that the Department of Spanish and Portuguese provided funds to students to cover the costs of a trip to DC. The purpose of the trip was to protest the Administration's policy towards Iraq.

I am writing this letter because, as a concerned alum, I fear this action -- if true -- amounts to an unconscionable misuse of College funds. Please let me know if these accounts are true, and if money from your department -- at a prestigious liberal arts institution -- has been used for political ends.

Sincerely yours,

Emmett M. Hogan '01
