3/25/2003 08:23:00 PM | Timothy Where have gone, Steven Menashi? In my article in The Nation, Laura Dellatorre is cited saying how long after the fact, The Dartmouth Review senslessly revealed the name of woman who had anonymously complained about being harassed by fraternity brothers. On the Dartmouth Review website, Larry has a sad response to my piece, in which he again names the woman. The really strange thing is that he does not name the fraternity involved: A group of fraternity brothers, who shall remain nameless, had gathered outside their house, whose name escapes me. After consuming a few beers, the brothers assembled on their lawn. School spirit overwhelmed them, and they burst into an impromptu recitation of the old Dartmouth football chant: “Wah-Hoo-Wah! Scalp ’em!” At this point, the accounts diverge.Personally, I don't believe for a minute that the author of the Review article didn't know that Psi U was the house involved in the 'Psi U incident.' Alternatively, if Larry really showed no interest in looking up one of the most basic facts of the story, then he is practicing extremely shoddy journalism. Did he do any fact-checking or research of his own? I do not know why one should trust the facts outlined in a Review article whose author either lied in print or was admittedly journalistically lazy. Larry's article only adds to the Review's credibility problems. I would think past Review editors would have mounted a much better defense. perma link |
