VOTE

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 15, 1997

The election for next year's Student Assembly, Class Council, Green Key and Committee on Standards representatives begins today, and all undergraduates should vote. A large turnout in the election will show students' faith in their elected representatives.

Vote for Eilertsen, Altman

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 14, 1997

In what has been a campaign devoid of much real debate, presidential candidate Frode Eilertsen '99 and vice presidential candidate Dave Altman '99 emerge from a rather unspectacular field as the two best people to lead the Student Assembly next year. Eilertsen appears best able to handle the two tasks that are required of an Assembly president -- earning the respect of the other Assembly members and acting as a leader that students across all sections of campus feel confident will represent them. Eilertsen's ideas about making the Assembly more effective and increasing the flow of information to students are still nebulous at best.

One Bad Apple

By Marc Yasuda | April 14, 1997

I'm running in Central Park, with only Tom Petty's just another "Face In The Crowd" (read: how I felt in New York City) for company.

Trash Television

By Matt Mcdonald | April 11, 1997

How I miss it. All right, that isn't really true. My television viewing, even when I'm home is limited to about two shows, but I do miss some of the fine programming that you come across while channel surfing the upper reaches of the dial.

Don't Be Afraid To Take A Chance

By Sarah Allyson Hall | April 11, 1997

I must admit that I've resigned myself to post-graduation unemployment. After explaining, over and over, ad nauseam, the merits and downfalls of the infamous D-plan, I developed a mantra: "But, (fill in name of concerned adult here), having a summer term allows us an off-term during the year, so that it is easier for us to snag a high-powered internship and thusly prepare for a ridiculously successful career after graduation!" I would smile smugly, knowing that such an internship would give me the needed advantage to scale ruthlessly over the salivating masses of regular college students.

Old Issues, New Leader

By Unai Montes-Irueste | April 11, 1997

Last year Jon Heavey won the Student Assembly presidential election on the following platform: open up the Dartmouth telephone market; establish an Economics Department assessment of DDS; reform the service offices in McNutt Hall, especially the registrar; stagger the lunch hours of Dartmouth employees; keep Baker open; unlock all dorm doors; have Dartmouth Pride Dinners to build community. Do these issues sound familiar?

The Random Lock Up

By Marcia Yablon | April 10, 1997

It's a cold snowy night and I am walking back to the Choates. My head is buried into my neck, my fingers feel like icicles, my snot is freezing in my nose and through tear-blurred vision I watch my feet to make sure they are still moving.

Make SA Matter ... Together

By Scott Jacobs | April 10, 1997

Does the Student Assembly matter? Does SA matter to you? Well, the answer that I hear all too often is a very quick, "No." The response to those questions that I would offer is that it can.

Misguided Jon Heavey

By Kenji Hosokawa | April 10, 1997

I have been pleased by the recent accomplishments of Jon Heavey and his partners in the Student Assembly, all of whom have worked hard to regain much of the respect that the organization had lost during my first year at Dartmouth.

Technology and Self-Conciousness

By Matt Lubin | April 9, 1997

Gripes against technology too often take the form of reference to a mythically happy past, with no acknowledgment of those real benefits which technology has brought to society.

Project: 2000

By Frode Eilertsen | April 9, 1997

Though I was certainly tempted to cram my entire platform into this editorial, I have decided against cramming because, let's face it, platforms are boring. Instead, I want to expand on an idea which I call Project: 2000.

Table For One, Please

By Kevin Findlan | April 8, 1997

Everyone's said it at one time or another: "I wish I had some time ALONE!" During the week before the start of Spring term I was traveling through Austria solo, in search of this elusive state of contented solitude we all seem to chase and cherish.
