A Look Back: the Riner administration

By Katy O'Donnell | April 25, 2006

Despite his long involvement with Student Assembly, Assembly President Noah Riner '06 will probably be most remembered for his controversial, religiously charged convocation speech, which overshadowed the accomplishments of much of his tenure as student body president, making his administration seem inaccessible at times. Following the speech, the Assembly found itself mired in a public battle over Riner's sectarian references, seen in an explosion of op-eds and counter op-eds in The Dartmouth as well as the resignation of Student Life Committee Chair Kaelin Goulet '07, who deemed the speech "an embarrassment." The controversy only contributed to the Assembly's reputation as a body plagued by bickering. The negative public opinion of the body existed before Riner's administration, but a feeling of apathy within the body grew as the year wore on.

Website criticizes College's portrayal of undergrads

By Matthew Abbott | April 25, 2006

A website recently created by Dartmouth students claims that College officials have been misleading Dartmouth alumni about the student body's satisfaction level over issues such as the proposed changes to the alumni constitution and the recent Senior Executive Committee elections. Five undergraduates created the site, www.voxclamantisindeserto.org, earlier this month to reach alumni and voice student concerns over issues that they feel have not been adequately presented to Dartmouth students and alumni. "Unfortunately, many graduated sons and daughters of Dartmouth are under the impression, fostered by the College's public relations department and the Office of Alumni Relations, that all of its undergraduate student body is satisfied with its current state," a statement on the website reads. The idea for the site came when Nicholas Stork '06 and Andrew Eastman '07 attended a town hall meeting in Boston last March for Dartmouth students and alumni to discuss the alumni constitution.

Students become more responsible for fin. aid

By Hillary Wool | April 25, 2006

Parents of incoming Dartmouth students and of admitted college students across America are allowing their children to attend elite institutions, so long as many of the students pay the difference between tuition and what parents can afford.

By Jennifer Bandy | April 25, 2006

New Hampshire's hallowed first-in-the-nation presidential primary could soon lose the prominence it has held for nearly a century if the Democratic National Committee passes a recent proposal to add one or two more caucuses before New Hampshire's primary date. In an effort to choose a stronger candidate in 2008, the DNC has completed the preliminary steps necessary both to place one or two caucuses between Iowa and New Hampshire and to schedule several other primaries immediately after New Hampshire's.

The 2006 Student Assembly campaign season in review

By Dane Schlossberg | April 25, 2006

At the final words of the third and last Student Assembly presidential debate, the campaign for Assembly president came to an official close last night, concluding that this year's race would avoid much of the controversy that characterized last year's campaign season. At this time a year ago, the Assembly presidential campaigns of Paul Heintz '06 and Brian Martin '06 were thwarted by serious Elections Planning and Advisory Committee sanctions stemming from negative campaigning conducted via BlitzMail. This year's race, however, has remained relatively quiet, though not entirely without incident.
