Amitabh Chibber '97 wrote, in his column, "Student Assembly's Obsolescense," (Jan. 25) that the Student Assembly is an obsolete body. Chibber fancies himself something of a budding political philosopher, and yet he has all too quickly acquired the arrogance and lack of depth that grip too many of America's pundits and so-called "insiders."
In its house editorial of Jan. 13, 1995, The Dartmouth editorial board implied that the Student Assembly had been imprudent in its informational campaign regarding Webster Hall, saying that the issue cannot be "decided in five minutes" or through an informational campaign such as the Assembly's. However, in this statement, The Dartmouth proved its own failure to look beyond the bold-printed slogan "Save Webster Hall" on the SA's posters.
I regret deeply that Danielle Moore '95 felt the need to resign as Student Assembly president. Although I did not always agree with the positions she took, she provided a good example of leadership, and I admired her conciliatory approach to Assembly politics which, over the past couple of years, have at times -- though not always, as some believe -- embodied all that is wrong with American politics today.
