Daily Debriefing
Student Assembly members discussed a proposed amendment to change Student Body president and vice president election procedures from approval voting to preferential voting during Tuesday's General Assembly meeting. Student Body President Max Yoeli '12 outlined an amendment proposed by Will Hix '12 who failed to pass a similar amendment last year to elect the president and vice president by preferential voting, or ranking candidates in order of preference. The amendment also aims to remove all candidate eligibility restrictions other than one requiring candidates to be in residence near the College during the following Fall, Winter and Spring terms, Yoeli said. During the meeting, Assembly members debated whether the removal of eligibility restrictions based on disciplinary and academic history would underemphasize the importance of Student Assembly leaders' character. "You should have those requirements because you're assuring that someone with good character is getting that position," Patrick Campbell '15 said. Others argued that disciplinary history is private and has no place in the voting arena. Assembly members also disagreed on the role of the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee, which has been responsible for administering all elections and deciding election procedure in the past. While some stated that the Assembly should have control over its own procedures, others emphasized the importance of giving EPAC sovereignty. "EPAC's goal and function is to be removed from the politics of it all," Rohail Premjee '14 said. "All these decisions we're making should be left to EPAC." Student Assembly members will vote on the amendment at the Assembly's meeting next week.

Booked Solid: Dartmouth Murder Mysteries
For my birthday a few months ago, my aunt gave me a tattered, leather-bound book titled "The Dartmouth Murders," written in 1929 by Clifford Orr '22. As a sucker for old texts, I relished inhaling the musty smell and thumbing through the yellowing pages, but set aside "The Dartmouth Murders" to enjoy after Summer term finals.
Pedde: The Right Target
The dismal state of the economy continues to cause many Americans significant hardship. Not even college graduates have been spared annual income for individuals with only a bachelor's degree fell by 3.5 percent last year. Thus, it is perhaps not surprising that a significant proportion of Americans have looked for villains to blame for these difficulties. But the real problem is not some malevolent minority instead, public opinion has turned against the very policies that are needed to ameliorate our problems. In order to resolve the situation, we need to significantly reform this country's monetary architecture.
Casler: Skipping Somalia
The recent rash of violence in Somalia between Al Shabab Islamist militants and a coalition of Somali, African Union and Kenyan forces has raised questions about American intervention, particularly in light of Kenya's surprising military incursion into Somalia two weeks ago and the Kenyan government's close ties to the United States. The circumstances represent another opportunity for the United States to execute foreign policy according to the Obama doctrine, which emphasizes negotiation, collaboration and covert operations over unilateralism, confrontation and full-scale military engagement. The United States should tailor its response to send a clear message and to avoid more foreign entanglements.

DHMC researcher helps Stephen King with his work
Russell Dorr, a physician’s assistant at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Merrimack clinic, was the lead researcher for Stephen King’s latest novel, which will be released on November 8th this year, according to an article by the Nashua Telegraph. Titled “11/22/63,” the novel is about a man who’s given a chance to go back in time to prevent John F. Kennedy’s assassination on that date. Dorr, who has worked with King for over thirty years, is already hard at work on King’s next book, which he says may be a sequel to “The Shining.” Is not a horror junkie, he said, although many of King’s books have dealt with themes of horror or suspense. Dorr and King have been friends for such a long time that King dedicated his short story “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" to Dorr. That story was later transformed into the successful movie of the same name. For a DHMC connection to Stephen King, check out “11/22/63” when it comes out next week!
