Coverage of Assembly Meeting Focused on Minor Controversy, Not Real Issues

By Jon Heavey | May 12, 1997

To the Editor: While I realize you're under considerable time constraints, it is entertaining to see that your fine 35-cent production is the only publication in the world which would label debate about a resolution which passed UNANIMOUSLY as "marr[ed by] ... personal barbs and infighting." Yes, there was another impromptu resolution which caused more heated debate; but by eagerly drooling and searching for any form of "controversy" you can find, you do little more than highlight why you and I, as students, are rarely trusted to handle major decisions affecting the institution. I'm embarrassed to be responding at all.

There Should At Least Be Relevancy in What is Reported

By Unai Montes-Irueste | May 8, 1997

To the Editor: While I realize that deadlines must be met, and time constraints can seriously affect final product, is it necessary to mention that an Assembly meeting is reminiscent of past Assemblies and then to specifically name Danielle Moore '95 and Rukmini Sichitiu '95? In your article yesterday ["Assembly endorses ethnic studies courses," May 7, 1997, The Dartmouth], it seemed repetitive and unfair to twice mention the past.

DarCORPS' Test of Charity

By Lee Istrail | May 8, 1997

Early on Saturday morning, as I and many others walked out to the Bema amid the light and grimy rainshower, we stood ready to venture out into the "real world" for a few hours: the DarCORPS project was about to reach fruition.

Put Up or Shut Up

By Aaron Klein | May 7, 1997
