As political divisions rose at the College in the 80s and 90s, so too did the number of publications hoping to represent the views of Dartmouth students. The members of such publications were frequently subjects in the news that they covered, as their activism work or anti-activist work put them at the center of campus events. Publications regularly responded to one another, with many papers becoming stand-ins for the campus left (such as STET or the Womyn’s Re/View) or right (The Dartmouth Review). The Dartmouth Review, in particular, generated much discourse, as they quickly gained a reputation for their explicitly racist and sexist views. The paper also garnered national media attention for the controversies ignited by their editorials and their use of the Dartmouth name. Tracking the interactions between these papers gives unique insight into how campus news was made, received, and leveraged in political discourse.

• STET No Date/Issue # … Bold text on the inner page states “Smash Apartheid Two Peoples Two States” “Examining Homophobia” p. 7 Compares the integrity of The Dartmouth and The Review when it comes to covering issues related to the queer community. “This dichotomy between these two publications is merely perceived as it relates to homosexual textuality.

• STET Issue #10 “Common Sense and Common Guys” & “Workers Note” p. 9 A satirical article about the type of men who enjoy the campus publication Common Sense.

The Dartmouth Review faced accusations of antisemitism from the late 1980s to early 1990s after two notable incidents ignited controversy at the College. In 1988, the Review shocked campus by comparing President Freedman, who is Jewish, to a Nazi. In 1990, the paper faced more criticism after a quote from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” was printed on its masthead. 2,000 copies were distributed before the issue was pulled. The Review insisted that it was an act of sabotage. However, this did not quell the backlash from both the administration and student body, leading students to host a “Rally Against Hate.”

The Review is plagued by disunity, and faltering support of the Review’s prominent conservatives. Many students have the idea that the College is becoming united against them. The writer challenges this and discusses the negative press about the College.
