One Carlos Mejia '08, managing editor of the venerable Dartmouth Free Press, wrote that he was "strongly disappointed" that The Dartmouth printed the names of finalists for the Dean of the College position last week ("Dean candidate names should not have been published," Feb. 26). Mejia's shock and sadness over the publication of this highly sensitive information was palpably clear, but the logic and reasoning behind his deep disappointment was less so.

The selection of the Class of 2006's Senior Executive Committee earlier this month raises a number of troubling questions concerning the Dartmouth administration's conception of diversity and democracy. Comprised of 20 students -- 12 of whom are elected by the senior class and eight of whom are appointed by administrators -- the SEC is charged with planning Class Day and the five-year reunion, while keeping classmates connected with one another and the College in the interim.

A free, vibrant and uncensored press is one of the most important components of a democratic society; it is also one of the most embattled. The senseless violence that has swept through the Muslim world this past week is indicative of the delicate state of affairs in the tinderbox Middle East. But perhaps even more frightening than the torched embassies and charred consulates is the Western world's own cowardly retreat from defending the Fourth Estate from those who seek to muzzle it. In these heady days of importing democracy to countries we deem in need, it seems we may be forgetting that political dissent, artistic freedom and criticism of authority are the very principles that make our own country worthy of protecting.

I won't pretend to fully understand the political machinations and maneuverings of our tremendously committed alumni with regard to the election of trustees. Just as the members of the class of 2002 and 2003 baffle me every time they show up for yet another Winter Carnival or Green Key, the folks who spend hundreds of dollars on full-page ads in The Dartmouth and seemingly invest all their time in alumni politics make me wonder whether I'll spend the next sixty years of my life rehashing my glory days over blitz from a cubicle in Manhattan.

I have heard a lot of talk during this campaign about my opponents' many accomplishments in their time on Student Assembly. And yet, like nearly every person I have spoken with in the past few weeks, I feel that Student Assembly has done a fairly mediocre job of representing me and working to improve my Dartmouth experience.

Let me just throw this right out there: if you don't get involved in politics when you get to Dartmouth, you're a worthless piece of crap. Yes, that's right, a worthless piece of crap.

COVENTRY, Vt. -- Pouring rain, sinking cars and over 40 hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic failed to keep legions of loyal Phish fans from making their way to a dairy farm in Coventry, Vt. this weekend for the jam band pioneers' final show before breaking up for good.

"Undermind," Phish's latest and final studio album does not sound like the work of a band on the verge of breaking up. Indeed, for an act that has defined itself through live music while always struggling and failing to transmit its signature sound to the studio, there is a bitter irony in just how good this last effort is. The whole disc seems to scream, "You've finally done it! Don't give up now!"

Hello, and welcome to the big show. If you're like most of America and just tuning into the Democratic primary election now, you've missed quite a performance. The original big-name frontrunner has crash-landed his campaign, fired his campaign manager and mortgaged his own house to avoid getting the smackdown in New Hampshire. The former vice president has jumped off the New Democrat bandwagon to endorse an anti-establishment crusader. And a little guy from Winooski, Vt., has donkey-punched two congressmen, three senators and a four-star general, taking the lead and heading to victory.

Howard Dean wasn't the best speaker at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual Club 100 dinner last Thursday. His stump speech needed work in places, and he was clearly still adjusting to the role as candidate for President of the United States of America. Yet it was abundantly clear that in a crowded field of nine Democrats, the party might just have found its saving grace.
