Apocalypse Now

By Julia Bernstein | April 22, 2005

I have a new guilty pleasure. With dialogue worse than "The O.C." and plots more incredible than "Joan of Arcadia," NBC's miniseries "Revelations" is not to be believed.

Free Speech and its Limits at Dartmouth

By Michael R. Herman | April 21, 2005

To the Editor: In his letter defending the College's punishment of Zeta Psi, Dartmouth General Legal Counsel Robert B.

Opinion

Perhaps the greatest question facing the Bush administration is the question of resolve. While the President has publicly committed himself to democratic reform in the Middle East, what remains to be seen is whether or not his actions will match the lofty Wilsonian rhetoric of his second inaugural address.

Hey, if Phi Delt Can Do It...

By David Wolkoff | April 21, 2005

To the Editor: I think that the entire Dartmouth Community recognizes that Zete's actions in regards to the "Zetemouth," or the newsletter that they published, were inappropriate.

Inexcusable Conduct, Inadmissible Evidence

By Ian Kyle | April 21, 2005

To the Editor: I read on Wednesday ("Drug charges leveled against senior after police search frat," April 20) that: "Police told [Tabard President Michael Guzman '06] that one of the officers noticed evidence of illicit substances in plain view in room 10, while scouring the house for any fires." Police now scour private rooms for fires?

It's Still a Beautiful Dartmouth

By David G. Hankins | April 21, 2005

As Max Ehrmann wrote in his poem Desiderata, "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story." One thing I have learned about Dartmouth students in the course of the recently concluded elections is that far too often we claim an individual monopoly on the truth.

Take SA Out of EPAC

By Eva Vivalt | April 21, 2005

Does anyone else find it strange that the people on the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee -- responsible for ensuring fair elections and thus charged with neutrality in determining sanctions for possible rule violations -- are themselves from Student Assembly? I was on EPAC last year, when it was run by Palaeopitus with representatives from other organizations.

A New Paradigm for SA

By Caleb Powers | April 20, 2005

Just hanging out around campus, stuff doesn't appear to be going too shabbily. I get from place to place and class to class, check my BlitzMail every so often, buy a meal at one of the many campus eateries when I'm hungry, maybe even take a break from online poker and browsing your personal files to check some assignments on blackboard.

Martin Has the Experience

By Edythe Wilson | April 20, 2005

To the Editor: Through my time as a member of Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority I have learned that experience truly matters when dealing with the Greek community and its role on Dartmouth's campus.

SA -- Limited and Superficial

By Peter Gray | April 20, 2005

As a freshman last year, I joined my peers in placing great significance on whom we should elect as our Student Assembly president.

Paul Heintz is Ready to Fight

By Janos Marton | April 19, 2005

With all the commotion around the race for Student Body President, a true shout-out should go to David "Magic" Hankins, the hard-working senior who pushed Instant Runoff Voting through a skeptical Student Assembly.

Get The Job Done

By Brian Martin | April 19, 2005

The candidates' last words are these statements, pledges and promises. Who can actually deliver on what they are saying?

Opinion

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 19, 2005

In considering the five candidates for Student Body President, we were faced with a fundamental question: does Student Assembly matter to the average Dartmouth student?

Fewer Words, More Action

By Jeffrey Coleman | April 19, 2005

Today you begin to vote. Some of you may still be thinking, "Why should I vote for Jeffrey Coleman?" The answer is quite simple: because SA needs someone who will get the job done.

Go For The Gold

By Todd Golden | April 19, 2005

Do you know your rights? Devising and distributing Student Rights Cards is an example of the tangible projects I have completed in the past and which I will continue to pursue.

Sincerely Mats

By Mats Lemberger | April 19, 2005

I came to Dartmouth wanting to compete on the track team. I spent much of my freshman year training to meet this goal.

Mission (to be) Accomplished

By Chris Galiardo | April 19, 2005

Student Assembly has something right. Its mission statement underscores the integral connection between representation of the student body and the unity of it.

Opinion

Riner the Right Man

By N. Alex Tonelli | April 19, 2005

The Student Assembly has proven to be an ineffective and oftentimes incompetent body. The new Assembly President is faced with the task of bringing relevance and influential power to an organization that has largely epitomized mediocrity.

Save a Horse

By Noah Riner | April 19, 2005

I hadn't even heard of Dartmouth. I was a high school junior from Louisville, Kentucky and I wanted to go to a good college.

Vote Yourself

By Paul Heintz | April 19, 2005

I have heard a lot of talk during this campaign about my opponents' many accomplishments in their time on Student Assembly.
