Friday, July 11, 2003My editorial todayWell I'm glad they printed it, but the Daily D did defang it quite a bit. So I thought I'd post the sentences that they must have felt were too edgy.Last sentence of first paragraph: "Of course, maybe Brent C. Reidy and Kabir Sehgal would have realized this had they actually considered the merits of their own claims." Middle of second paragraph: "Further, he thinks that 'The name Dartmouth ought to shake the walls of a room when it is slipped into a conversation.'" (The point of this one was to show how immature this kid is.) End of third paragraph: "To require an ego boost from this type of verbal massage is, quite frankly, something I�d expect from kids in elementary school." End of fifth: "No, these students, like Mr. Reidy and Mr. Sehgal, apply because they want jaws to drop when they mention they attend Dartmouth. " Beginning of seventh: I called Mr. Reidy's editorial a "childish rant," but that didn't make it. End of seventh: "At the end of his editorial, Mr. Reidy asks, 'Where do we draw the line between being low key and being last?' We�re neither, and if Mr. Reidy truly thinks this, maybe he should reapply to Harvard; it might be a better fit." I liked the original version a lot better. Posted by Alston B.
