Tanenbaum: Presidential Candidate Statement

By J.T. Tanenbaum | April 12, 2012

Nathan Yeo / The Dartmouth Senior Staff I'm sure many of you are wondering what Student Assembly actually does and what on earth the Assembly president does. In my administration, the Assembly president will serve as chief advocate for the student body, and having an advocate matters for everyone. We don't have time for the next Assembly president to have delusions of grandeur.

Klein: Presidential Candidate Statement

By Erin Klein | April 12, 2012

Nathan Yeo / The Dartmouth Senior Staff I want to be your Student Assembly president. I am running because I, like you, have higher expectations for this campus. Student Assembly markets itself as the vehicle of communication between students and the administration, but as of yet, neither seems capable of engaging in productive dialogue.

Vox Clamantis

To the Editor: Paul Lazarow's recent column ("Crossing the Line," April 10) cites cases of Students for Justice in Palestine groups around the United States that "resort to intimidation and incitement," hold "racist" views toward Israel and aim to "harass supporters of Israel" to question whether SJP upholds the values of tolerance and respect.

Casler: A Foolish Pipe Dream

By Don Casler | April 11, 2012

Jonathan Pedde's assertion that "simple policy rules" would be more effective than discretionary powers ("The Discretionary Illusion," April 10), specifically with respect to the government's macroeconomic stance, is a dubious claim that has little basis in fact.

Vox Clamantis

By Charlotte Johnson | April 9, 2012

To the Editor: Your recent article on "Talk It Out" provided much deserved attention to an issue and an event of great importance to the Dartmouth community and to me ("Students shed light on homophobia," April 9). I regret that my need to leave early detracted from the event, which focused on the experiences of several students who courageously told their stories. \nDo not equate my departure for lack of support for the LGBT community.

Pedde: The Discretionary Illusion

By Jonathan Pedde | April 9, 2012

Many people seem to assume that placing intelligent people in positions of power and then granting these individuals broad discretionary powers to do as they see fit is the best way to go about solving the world's many problems.

Colston: Like Father, Like Son

By Aaron Colston | April 8, 2012

Learning to drive was hard for me, in part because of a particular habit of my father's. Whenever I sat behind the wheel, he would buckle himself in and hold tightly onto the handle above the window.
