By Tommy Lee Woon | May 2, 2006

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.

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.

SEC puts the "CES" in Incestuous

As most of the Class of 2006 is now aware, our selfless Senior Executive Committee has settled upon eight class marshals from a host of qualified nominees. Oh sorry.

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?

A Platform I'd Vote For

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
