The Dartmouth Review is a conservative, independent, bi-weekly newspaper at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (U.S.). It was founded in 1980 by disenchanted staffers—including Gregory Fossedal, Gordon Haff, and Keeney Jones—from the college's daily newspaper, The Dartmouth. It spawned a movement of politically conservative independent U.S. college newspapers such as the Harvard Salient and Cornell Review, and has been at the center of several lawsuits. Past staffers include author Dinesh D'Souza, talk show host Laura Ingraham, The Far Eastern Economic Review's Hugo Restall, and The New Criterion's James Panero. Author and columnist Jeffrey Hart, now Professor of English Emeritus at Dartmouth College, was also instrumental in the founding of the newspaper and has been a long-time board member and adviser. As of 2006, it claims 10,000 off-campus subscribers and distributes a further 5,000 newspapers on campus. This article deals with conservatism as a political philosophy. ...

Controversies and stances

The Review gained national attention early on for positions on social issues regarded as "politically incorrect" which its critics see as examples of racism, sexism, and intolerance. Among the newspaper's exploits: Politically Incorrect was a late-night, half-hour political talk show hosted by Bill Maher that ran from 1995 to 2002. ...

It has been suggested that Sex discrimination be merged into this article or section. ... Intolerance is the lack of ability or willingness to tolerate something. ...

• The newspaper continues to refer to Dartmouth's sports teams as the "Indians", the traditional school mascot that was officially discarded in the early 1970s, pointing out that a Gallup poll of living Indian chiefs in fact supported keeping the Indian mascot.^[1]
• In 1986, its staffers took sledgehammers to shanties that had been erected on the campus quad as part of a campaign to protest apartheid by divesting Dartmouth from South Africa. The shanties were blocking the College's annual Winter Carnival and were considered by many to be eyesores; the town of Hanover had ordered the illegally-constructed structures torn down. When the College moved to remove them, 150 students blocked the workers; ten Review staffers attacked the shanties in a midnight raid and were later punished by the College.
• In 1984, the Review snuck a reporter into a meeting of a gay student organization and later published a transcript of the meeting, including a list of those present at the supposedly secure meeting place.
• While on the Review staff, Laura Ingraham frequently referred to homosexuals as "sodomites".
• In the fall of 1990, the Review was accused of anti-Semitism for the appearance of a quote from Mein Kampf in its masthead in place of its usual quote from Teddy Roosevelt. The quote was discovered by Review staffers three days after the paper was distributed. Distribution, which at the time usually meant leaving the paper outside dorm rooms and offices, included for that issue passing out copies to Jewish members of the community leaving Yom Kippur services at Rollins Chapel. The edition of the Review was ultimately pulled, and a campus-wide apology was issued by the then editor-in-chief, Kevin Pritchett, who subsequently resigned from the Review staff. According to Review backer William F. Buckley, Jr.'s book In Search of Anti-Semitism, this incident was the work of a disgruntled former staff member. In response, almost two thousand people assembled on the Green for a "Rally Against Hate".^[2] This rally was later severely criticized by Dartmouth alumni who charged that the rally was an intimidation tactic by the administration against the Review staffers, and by the national media.^{[citation needed]} The "Hitler Quote incident," as it came to be known,^[3] came on the heels of several smaller incidents allegedly suggesting anti-Semitism on the part of the Review. Following the episode, Jack Kemp, who would go on to become Bob Dole's running mate in the 1996 US Presidential Elections, withdrew support for the paper. The incident led to a satiric response by the Harvard Lampoon, who in April of 1991 replaced the usual Dartmouth Review newspapers with their own "All Hitler Fashion Preview," including a quote page with exclusive (and fake) Hitler quotes. This was not the only anti-semitic action taken by the paper; during the same period, College President Freedman, who was Jewish, was caricatured as Adolph Hitler on their front page.
• The November 28, 2006, issue of the Review featured a cover image of an Indian brandishing a scalp, with the headline: "The Natives are Getting Restless!" The illustration is widely used by national anti-Indian coalitions;^[4] the paper itself included multiple pieces criticizing both Native American students' complaints about a string of incidents perceived as racist, as well as the College's apologies for them. On November 29, 2006, more than 500 students, staff, faculty members and administrators responded to the issue by gathering for a "Solidarity Against Hatred Rally" in front of Dartmouth Hall. In an interview with the Associated Press, Review editor-in-chief Dan Linsalata said the paper was in response to "the overdramatic reaction to events this term."^[5] Editors subsequently issued statements expressing "regret" and called the cover, but not the "editorial content", a "mistake".^[4][6][7]

The paper has consistently supported a college curriculum based on the so-called Western Canon, advocated for a stronger role for religion in campus life, criticized Dartmouth College's alcohol policies and resisted political correctness on campus. In 2002, Dartmouth's liberal newspaper, the Dartmouth Free Press, documented other issues on which the Review, has taken a stand, most of them campus-oriented.^[8] Millie, once mascot of the City of Brampton, is now the Brampton Arts Councils representative. ...

Influence and legacy

Some claim the newspaper's influence with current students may be on the decline. A February 17, 2003 article in The Nation, co-authored by a founder of the liberal Free Press, quotes early Review editor-turned-national-pundit Dinesh D'Souza as saying that the Review's current "impact on campus is debatable" since the paper no longer dominates campus debate as it did during his editorship.^[9] In 2006, the newspaper celebrated its twenty-fifth year of publication by releasing an anthology entitled The Dartmouth Review Pleads Innocent: Twenty-Five Years of Being Threatened, Impugned, Vandalized, Sued, Suspended, and Bitten at the Ivy League's Most Controversial Conservative Newspaper, in which William F. Buckley lauded the newspaper as "a vibrant, joyful provocative challenge to the regnant but brittle liberalism for which American colleges are renowned."^[1] February 17 is the 48th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Current Problems

The paper has also come under scrutiny for many of its actions under departing editor Dan Linsalata, including accusations of driving the impeachment of the Student Body President ^[10] and a controversial cover depicting savage indians that led President Kevin Hudak to resign. ^[11] These events and others have prompted many staffers to leave, and The Review has been chided by the greater conservative community at Dartmouth.
