Six declare Assembly candidacy

Jeremy Segal '97 has announced he will join the five other candidates who have announced they will run for Student Assembly president in April.

Several students have also announced they will run for president an vice president of their class councils.

Associate Director of Student Activities Linda Kennedy said she cannot release the official list of all candidates for Student Assembly, class councils and the Committee on Student Organizations until candidates are approved by the dean's office.

Segal, who is an undergraduate advisor, and a member of Sigma Nu fraternity and the Dartmouth Marching Band, said he wants to see the "Assembly actually do something."

He said the Assembly has "enough committees and subcommittees to guarantee that it's going to be a bureaucratic nightmare. It's just student government, it doesn't have to be that much like the real thing."

Segal joins Sarah Cho '97, Jon Heavey '97, Unai Montes-Irueste '98, Scott Rowekamp '97 and Steve Salemi '97 in the race for Assembly president.

Joan Ai '98, Bill Kartalopoulos '97, Mario Martinus '98 and Chris Swift '98 are running for Assembly vice president.

A number of students have also announced they are running for president or vice president of their class council.

Matt Shafer '97, vice president of the Class of 1997, said he is running for re-election. Class of 1998 vice president Chris Atwood '98 said he also plans to run again.

Class of 1999 President Frode Eilertsen '99 has announced he will be running for class president again. Current vice president Rex Morey '99 said he will also run for re-election.

Chris Emond '99 has also said he registered to be a candidate for president of his class.

"I think Frode did a heck of a job," he said.

But he said he is "intrigued by the opportunity to lead the sophomore class."

Emond said Dave Risk '99 will be running for class vice president. Risk could not be reached for comment.
