Ignoring the big picture

By Nick Santos | May 3, 2006

To the Editor: In "The Economics of Protest" (May 1), Daniel Linsalata '07 rails against students who "cut class and waste generous donations" by alumni. Ah, Linsalata, you've noticed a single tree but forgotten about the forest!

Andreadis and the Press

By Yuki Kondo-Shah | May 3, 2006

Why is it that when underrepresented students on campus take the initiative to bring their issues into the mainstream College dialogue they are automatically dismissed as rabble-rousers? The Dartmouth's egregiously inadequate news and editorial coverage of Tim Andreadis '07's overwhelming victory in the Student Assembly election is an insult to the 1,025 voters who wrote him in as their first choice for student body president. Andreadis was able to form a coalition of different communities on campus and highlight under-discussed yet pressing issues, such as sexual assault and rates of minority/women faculty retention.

Setting the record straight on protests and class

By Tommy Lee Woon | May 2, 2006

To the Editor: In Daniel Linsalata '07's op-ed column yesterday, he expressed concern that the Office of Pluralism and Leadership and the Center for Women and Gender were irresponsible in endorsing an Immigrant Solidarity Day rally that encouraged students to boycott classes.

Neither threatened nor marginalized

By Russell Herman | May 2, 2006

To the Editor: Our newly elected Student Assembly president, Tim Andreadis '07, states that The Dartmouth has invalidated the "students who feel threatened or marginalized" ("Pursuing rights for all," April 27). I wonder though, who exactly are these "marginalized" students?

New Leadership, Real Ideas

By Michael Simoni | May 2, 2006

Last Thursday, Michael Belinsky '08 claimed that Tim Andreadis '07's victory was a result of voter bias against The Dartmouth's and other establishments' public support of specific candidates ("An Analysis of the SA Election," April 27). I disagree with this statement entirely.

The Economics of Protest

By Daniel Linsalata | May 1, 2006

As College President James Wright likes to explain whenever the opportunity arises, every student at the College, regardless of how much he or she -- or their parents, most likely -- pays to attend Dartmouth, is on financial aid.

Demands for action

By Sara del Nido | May 1, 2006

To the Editor: In his op-ed about the election of Tim Andreadis '07 ("Campaigning and Statistics," April 28), Nicholas Martin '07 seems to forget that people's votes often reflect the issues that they care most about.

But what about speech?

By Jedidiah Sorokin-Altmann | May 1, 2006

To the Editor: Although I was pleased to read in Zeke Turner 09's op-ed, "Teaching the Art of Writing" (April 25) that the Writing Program is being overhauled with real and not merely cosmetic changes, I am distressed that one year has passed since professor Jim Kuypers left Dartmouth, and the Office of Speech remains shuttered.

Campaigning and Statistics

By Nicholas Martin | April 28, 2006

Approximately 31 percent of Dartmouth students are utterly disappointing. I derived this percentage by dividing the total number of votes cast for Tim Andreadis (1,269) in Student Assembly elections by the total number of Dartmouth undergraduate students (approximately 4,100). Does this calculation strike anyone as ridiculous?

Objecting to the SEC

By Alexander Lawrence | April 28, 2006

To the Editor: As reported in The Dartmouth ("Senior class marshals announced," April 27), of the eight Class Marshal positions, the Senior Executive Committee kept five of them for themselves.

An Analysis of the SA Election

By Michael Belinsky | April 27, 2006

The Student Assembly presidential election produced a completely unexpected result: write-in candidate Tim Andreadis '07 beat Dave Zubricki '07, who was initially favored to win the race.

Opinion

A Platform I'd Vote For

By Robert Butts | April 27, 2006

By the time this op-ed goes to press, new Student Assembly leadership will have been elected. Just who will be in that leadership isn't certain as I write. But at least two things are certain.

Opinion

Pursuing rights for all

By Tim Andreadis | April 27, 2006

To the Editor: The Dartmouth Editorial Board's Verbum Ultimum ("A Call to Overhaul Student Assembly," April 25) has made a first in politics: They have accused my candidacy as being "agenda-driven" and "divisive." What campaign is not agenda driven?

Sweet Glorious Bedlam

By Max Bryer | April 26, 2006

With our Student Assembly elections upon us, and my inbox clogged with about 3,000 campaign-related messages, I feel it is my responsibility to share a small truth with the student body about student government.
