Copious and confusing rules set forth by the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee have Student Assembly election candidates falling into traps they do not even know are there. Three candidates have already violated election rules this year because they were unclear on election bylaws.
The best way to lead is to serve. As '06 Class President and a member of Student Assembly's Student Life Committee, I have learned just that.
Alpha Xi Delta sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity were the big winners at Monday evening's Coed, Fraternity, Sorority Order of Omega Achievement Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements in the Greek community.

My campaign for Student Body President is about fresh leadership, fresh ideas and results. George Bernard Shaw once said, "Imagination is the beginning of creation.
It's easy to come up with a platform, but often tough to back up fine-sounding promises. A year ago I was elected on a mandate to make our student government more efficient, more representative and ready to tackle bigger issues.

I will be an effective and innovative Vice President and increase communication on campus. I got my hair buzzed while giving my candidate speech on Thursday night for a reason: namely, to be efficient.
Six months after the College indicated that it would be implementing a mandatory five percent cut in all departmental operating budgets for the 2003 fiscal year, every department has successfully reduced its non-compensational operating costs and is preparing for another five percent reduction next year.

Yes, it is hard -- but not impossible -- to stop a moving train. In his presidency Janos Marton '04 -- who is in the rare position of being able to run for reelection as Student Assembly president -- has indeed proved unstoppable on several fronts, most notably achieving a dtente in the student-administration relationship.

Editor's Note: This is the final part of a series profiling the platforms of candidates for the College's Board of Trustees. Maintaining the "soul" of Dartmouth, while at the same time expanding the "intellectual vitality" characteristic of a university setting will be the focus of John Donahoe's '82 tenure if he is elected to serve on the Board of Trustees. Donahoe said that, in general, he was pleased with the direction and leadership of both the former College President James Freedman and current President James Wright.
Just past midnight last Friday, two prospective students in town for the Dimensions program for accepted students were found under the influence of alcohol and in possession of alcohol by Safety and Security. Because the students are not members of the Dartmouth community, Safety and Security contacted Hanover Police, who arrested the students on charges of unlawful possession, according to Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone. The students were held in Grafton County jail until an admissions officer from the College came to bail them out, according to Giaccone. The unlawful possession charges carry an option of an alcohol awareness diversion program or a mandatory minimum $250 fine for first-time offenders. According to Assistant Director of Admissions Chris Bradt, there have been problems with alcohol in previous years during the Dimensions program, though no prospective students have been arrested before. This year, about 400 high school seniors admitted to the College participated in Dimensions in advance of the May 1 decision deadline. "This happens when people are brought on this campus despite attempts to educate them," Bradt said.

Far from dying a natural death, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin was murdered by his colleagues for his anti-American and anti-Jewish stances, Jonathan Brent, the executive editor of Yale University Press, asserted Friday afternoon during a speech. Brent cited a medical report written in July 1953 after Stalin's death indicating that he likely died of warfarin poisoning. Warfarin is an anticoagulant, commonly used as a blood thinner to treat the victims of heart attacks.
