To the Editor: In his April 3, 1995, column, Kevin Walsh proclaimed that "The fight against abortion is not just righteous.
In the last year on the Student Assembly, I have argued about communist feminists, gay administrators and sexism in the meal plan. I have seen the president resign, members get up and walk out during session to force its premature end and have even had a midnight meeting in a smoke-filled room with leaders from all factions to negotiate the fate of the organization. I've got to admit intrigue and argument make for an amusing SA.
During spring break, I ran into an old historyteacher with whom I was friends in high school. He was anxious to hear how I had been enjoying the past year-and-a-half of Ivy League enlightenment.

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.
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.

To the Editor: While Andrew Schader's column "Grants Should Not Be Forsaken" [Mar. 28, 1995] makes a good point, it is factually wrong in its major assumption: that Yale rejected the program and the money because of fear of ethnocentrism.
