Now that the 2005 alumni trustee election is over, Dartmouth's Association of Alumni should reassess its voting procedures and rules on campaigning.
Two petition candidates, Peter Robinson '79 and Todd Zywicki '88, are running for seats on the Dartmouth Board of Trustees. While their spirit of democracy is admirable, the substance of their campaigns is alarming. It seems that Robinson and Zywicki are both inclined to mislead their fellow alumni into believing that Dartmouth's soul has abandoned the Hanover plain -- that undergraduates are no longer the focus of a Dartmouth education, that faculty have forsaken teaching for their love of research, that Dartmouth athletes are wallowing in mediocrity, that fraternities and sororities are being boarded up, and that Dartmouth students are now geekish specialists, no longer fit to meet the challenges of the real world.
