Bookstore Bucks

|

Walking out of the Dartmouth Bookstore, I heard someone say, "Beat this! $440!" He had a smirk on his face, a Dartmouth ID in one hand and a bag of books in the other.

Sanction Del Pozo and Rich too

|

Student Assembly presidential candidates Brandon Del Pozo '96 andJim Rich '96 should both be penalized for violating early campaigning guidelines. At the end of Winter term, Del Pozo and Rich both attended a meeting held by the Conservative Union At Dartmouth to seek CUAD's endorsement in the upcoming election on April 11. An anonymous complaint was filed with the Election Advisory Committee on Friday charging that the two candidates violated election guidelines by starting to campaign before April 4. Campaign rules prohibit appearing "before a student group for the purpose of influencing individuals to vote for a candidate," appearing "before a group to share one's opinion on issues" and "seeking an endorsement from a student or group of students" prior to the official start of the campaigning period. In seeking CUAD's endorsement, Del Pozo and Rich clearly violated all of these rules. And like Phil Ferrara '96, who was accused Thursday of campaigning early by seeking the endorsement of two sorority presidents, Del Pozo and Rich should be punished. Although Del Pozo and Rich were invited by CUAD to address the group, their violations are not excusable.

Ferrera Should Be Penalized

|

Student Assembly presidential candidate Phil Ferrera '96 has clearly violated election guidelines that prohibit cam- paigning before April 4, and his campaign should be penalized. Yesterday two students filed complaints with Director of Student Activities Tim Moore, who oversees the Election Advisory Committee.

Yale Courageous in Returning Gift

|

To the Editor: In Andy Schader's column "Grants Should Not Be Forsaken," (Mar. 28, 1995) the implication is made that Yale University needlessly squandered a $20 million gift due to a reluctance to increase funding for its Western civilization curriculum.

Adventures in the 'Wait' Room

|

Dumbbells slam against the hard floorbelow, the smell of sweat lingers in the stale Kresge air, and scores of self-motivated college-aged students crunch, lift, squat and jerk.

Human Hangers

A day or two ago I casually opened my J. Crew catalogue addressed to the Student at Dartmouth College, expecting a peek at the new spring fashions.

Assembly on the right track

|

The Student Assembly should be congratulated for the job it has done this term. The Assembly has made tangible efforts to help students, and more importantly, it has stopped most of its internal bickering. At the beginning of Winter term, the Assembly was in shambles, as the second elected president in two years had resigned. Then-president Danielle Moore '95 quit at the end of Fall term.
