Vote for Heavey and Epstein

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 15, 1996

Student Assembly presidential candidate Jon Heavey '97 and vice presidential candidate Meredith Epstein '97 will give the Assembly a much-needed injection of creativity and competence. Heavey's innovative approach to problem solving, his insightful ideas about leadership and his candor distinguish him from the rest of the field. For example, while other candidates suggest polls, committees or nothing at all to promote campus tolerance, Heavey advocates a campus-wide dinner to mitigate racial tensions. Heavey is open to others' ideas, which will garner him the respect of the Assembly, the student body and the administration. Unlike other candidates, Heavey has been forthright in admitting his potential shortcomings.

Experience Is Crucial to the Assembly

By Scott Rowekamp | April 11, 1996

The first issue I would like to talk about is race relations at Dartmouth. Because of the racial incidents of last summer and last term, there is a growing concern among the Dartmouth community about how we interact with one another as students who come from an incredibly diverse ethnic background.

Take Ownership Of Dartmouth

By Unai Montes-Irueste | April 10, 1996

Joan Baez, an alumna from my alma mater, Redlands High School, once said, "As long as one keeps searching, the answers come." These words seem obvious in minor everyday applications of them, but the answers don't come as easily when the questions concern larger, societal dilemmas such as prejudice and intolerance.

A Surreal Return to Planet Dartmouth

By Debbie Carbonaro | April 10, 1996

Staring wholly uninspired at a blank Microsoft Word screen is a writer's most dreaded nightmare. After spending seven months away from Planet Dartmouth, how could I have absolutely nothing to say? What happened to the amazing world perspective I took away from Rome?

Of Moose And Men

By Ellen Wight | April 10, 1996

Think back to that late summer day just before you plunged into freshman fall, when you staggered into the Ravine Lodge at Moosilauke with leftover cucumbers rotting in your backpack and a week-old enviromug encrusted with oatmeal and cocoa.
