After delay, College releases SA ballot

By Wendy Yu | April 13, 2000

After a prolonged delay, the Election Planning and Advisory Committee released last night the official list of candidates for a number of student leadership positions, including Student Assembly president and vice president. As anticipated, Alex Grishman '01, Jorge Miranda '01, Meg Smoot '01 and Alex Wilson '01 entered what could be a tight race for Assembly president, along with newcomer Brett Quimby '02, who represents the Jack-O-Lantern humor society nomination. Chance Hill '01, who had announced his intentions for the presidential seat late last month, is running for vice president instead, along with Molly Stutzman '02 and Jack-O-Lantern candidate Jacob Osterhout '02. Hill said the fact that he shares the same views as some in the crowded presidential field made him decide to seek a vice presidential position instead. "Everything I want to get done, I hope I can get done as VP if I am elected," Hill said. The release of the candidates' names came after a bizarre two-day delay due to confusion between the precise rules governing D-plan arrangements of the EPAC and the Assembly.

Students apathetic toward sweatshops

By Rachel Osterman | April 12, 2000

Dartmouth community members remember vividly the day last February when students gathered on the lawn of Psi Upsilon fraternity to protest the administration's pledge to revamp social life at the College. Campus leaders spoke passionately about the positive contributions Greek organizations make to student life, and a receptive audience -- many clad in pro-Greek attire -- cheered them on. But this enthusiasm has yet to translate itself into support for the anti-sweatshop movement that has swept university campuses across North America, a curious phenomenon for a student body where 75 percent of students participate in regular volunteer work.

SA works to release candidate list

By Mike A. Hamilton | April 12, 2000

Last night the Student Assembly took an important step toward securing the release of the official list of candidates for a number of student leadership positions -- including Assembly president and vice president -- which has been held up by controversy over D-plans. The Assembly passed a resolution whose sole purpose is to correct an inconsistency between the Election Planning and Advising Committee's requirements for students holding office and the Assembly constitution from which they were derived. The mistake in the EPAC's requirements -- which were supposed to exactly match those mandated by the Assembly constitution -- was realized when the names of three of the six people running for either the position of Assembly president or vice president were struck from the ballots for the upcoming Spring term elections. Unlike the Assembly constitution, the EPAC's rules stated that all students running for the position of Assembly president or vice president must be taking classes for the three terms during which they would hold office.

Where did you learn your ABCs?

By Ithan Peltan | April 12, 2000

The Presidential elections have attracted attention to issues involving the American education system. As a result the phrases "school-choice," "vouchers," and "charter schools" have been openly debated as possible methods to holistically improve education and offer all students the opportunity to succeed. While the nation examines how to educate its children more fairly, The Dartmouth questioned how the national debate is reflected at the College in students' experiences. How diverse are the experiences of Dartmouth students?

By Regis Ahern | April 12, 2000

The Senior Executive Committee for the Class of 2000, which acts as the alumni relations liason between the class and the College for the next five years, has finalized the specific positions for its members.

Twelve of the committee members were elected by their classmates, the remaining eight were appointed by a College selection committee composed of Director of Student Activities Linda Kennedy, Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia, 2000 Class Dean Teoby Gomez and assistant director of Alumni Relations Stacy Wooley. "The importance of the head agent in the first five years after graduation is that the position will lay the groundwork for class participation.

Students bring varied educational backgrounds

By Ithan Peltan | April 11, 2000

As the 2000 Presidential race heats up, both Al Gore and George W. Bush have started to make the reform of primary and secondary American education a major campaign issue. One of the central issues is the use of vouchers, which allow parents to direct the money the government would have paid for their child's education at a public school to the school of their choice -- be it public, private or parochial. But what are the real differences between the kinds of education that schools offer students?

By Jeremy Skog | April 10, 2000

Prominent journalists discussed the nature of media at the start of the millennium during the 2000 Senior Symposium panel "Media Revolutions: A Reflection on Society" on Saturday. Journalists Chris Wren '57, a reporter and editor for The New York Times; Matt Storin, Editor of the Boston Globe; and New York Times National Education Correspondent Jacques Steinberg '88, discussed how recent changes in technology -- especially the Internet -- and culture have affected the news industry. Steinberg said that many people no longer require newspapers for much of their information, since primary sources could now be found online.
