Students face off in political debate

October 29, 2008

Sophie Novack / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth's chapters of the College Democrats and College Republicans faced off in a debate on the hot issues of the 2008 presidential election in front of a boisterous and packed audience in Rockefeller 3 Tuesday night, in anticipation of Election Day next week. The debate, moderated by government professor Sonu Bedi, featured three College Democrats and three College Republicans who represented presidential candidates Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, respectively. Jennifer Bandy '09, president of the Dartmouth College Republicans, and David Imamura '10, president of the Dartmouth College Democrats, went head to head in spirited exchanges on foreign policy and potential Supreme Court nominations. Bandy argued that McCain's foreign policy experience, military service and ideological positions qualify him to be the country's next commander-in-chief. Imamura responded, saying that, while he respected McCain's military service, Obama has shown superior judgment on issues like nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Right now, America's really at a crossroads in the election," Imamura said.

SA wages voting contest with Penn

By Julie Kim | October 28, 2008

After competing for centuries in athletic events and admissions, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania will now compete to see which Ivy League school can convince the highest percentage of its students to vote in the upcoming election. The chair of Penn's Undergraduate Assembly, senior Wilson Tong, accepted the voting challenge from Dartmouth's Student Body President Molly Bode '09 on Sunday night, and Bode will send an e-mail notifying the campus of the competition soon. Assembly members will advertise the contest by wearing "Beat Penn" and "Outvote Penn" shirts. The main goal of the contest, Bode said, is to raise awareness about the election. "I don't think of this as much of a way to affect someone's choice to vote or not to vote, but as a way to inform people that it's not too late, that you can even register to vote on Election Day," Bode said.
