During my brief time at Dartmouth, I have been a part of many student organizations on campus. Yet I've never paused to think whether the College actually recognizes the organizations and what they do. I have discovered, however, that in order to sustain themselves, student organizations sometimes need official recognition from the College, since they can provide many essential services to these organizations, such as funding.

After I received several Facebook group invitations just hours after campaigning had officially begun last week, it was clear that the race for next year's Student Assembly leadership was well underway. It never ceases to amaze me how passionate and serious the candidates are about the Assembly. But of course, it does make sense since the race provides students with an outlet and an organization that can bring about change on campus. However, I feel that this campaign is also an example of the lack of credibility Student Assembly sometimes has, since some candidates have decided to run with platforms that are pure fantasy. Student Assembly needs this race to be run by candidates with honest platforms and transparent campaigns if it is to regain the students trust and move forward.

As I attended the College Democrats meeting last Monday, I was positively surprised by the large turnout. Sadly, I feel that this was an exception to a larger reality on campus: Dartmouth cares too little about politics. I feel that Dartmouth needs to be shaken out of its political apathy. It seems that while there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the 2008 presidential race, I have found that many students on this campus remain apathetic. While the race may seem far away, it is never too early to get involved in the political process and lend support to grass root events. We need more activism from the students year round, not just when the primaries kick off.

"'If you had been elected vice president in 2004,'" asked The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, "'who would you have shot in the face?'" With that statement, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards opened his speech, which was held in Alumni Hall at the Hopkins Center last week. While the tone certainly took a more serious turn after that, it fit in well the image that Edwards is trying to portray: With his somewhat casual wear, his referencing of popular television shows, watched mostly by college students, Edwards is building up his identity as a man of the people. Yet for all his charm, I felt that this presidential candidate was missing something.

Last term, I was stressed trying to figure out which classes to take. Indeed, with the amount of options out there and with classes ranging from Anthropology 47 (Hunters and Gatherers) to Math 28 (Introduction to Combinatorics), choosing a course load can be overwhelming. Thankfully, there are many tools that have greatly facilitated my search process, including the Student Assembly's course review guide. Despite its critics, the SA guide is one of the most convenient channels through which students can gain a glimpse at the classes that interest them.

Noche Dorada, held last weekend, was not at all what I expected. Instead of attending a mere gathering of people enjoying amazing free food and crazy salsa dancing, I was confronted by impassioned speeches from alumni, and an informative address from a professor. Indeed, it is important to note that this night was about addressing the immigration issue -- an issue at the heart of the Latino community, and perhaps even beyond.

The news that Dartmouth had made the top 50 schools for African-American students, as determined by Black Enterprise magazine, did not provoke any deep feeling. In fact, I was rather oblivious to the fact -- what's another ranking, anyway? However, the important thing to note is not Dartmouth's position in the rankings (particularly because this is the first time they have made the cut), but rather the effect it will have on people's perception of the College.
