Make Your Voice Heard - Vote

|

Today,students have a rare opportunity to affect change and to let their voices be heard. All undergraduates should vote in the student elections. Students will elect the next Student Assembly president, vice president and general Assembly, as well as class officers and Committee on Standards representatives. All campus voices must be heard.



Opinion

Del Pozo for President

|

Thechoice is clear. If Dartmouth want an effective government that will serve the students and will bicker less, then tomorrow students must vote for Brandon del Pozo '96 for Student Assembly president and Kelii Opulauoho '96 for vice president. Del Pozo, the most qualified candidate for president, possesses the best understanding of the issues currently facing the Assembly and its role on campus. Opulauoho is the best candidate for vice president because he complements del Pozo well.







Opinion

Navarro was not the first tenured female professor

|

To the Editor: The Mar. 3 issue's welcome report on Professor and Chair Marysa Navarro's pioneering service and accomplishments at Dartmouth ("First tenured female professor changed campus culture") unintentionally reinforces a perception that needs to be gently amended.

Better intergration is needed to truly obtain diversity

|

To the Editor: Many students have been talking about "the need to improve and maintain our diversity."I could not agree more.Student Assembly presidential candidate Phil Ferrera '96 has stated that he supports not only the furthering of affinity housing but the establishment of gender exclusive housing -- for women only. The problem is that Ferrera completely misses the point.He is promoting " diversity"whose practical effect is segregation.Although I hope that this is not what he wishes, the consequence of these poorly thought-out actions is segregation. Having been the senior class president at a high school whose student body was 33 percent black, 30 percent white, 20 percent Latino and 15 percent Asian (mostly Cambodian and Vietnamese), I know first hand the benefits of diversity.But more than that, I know what it means to be integrated.This only occurs when all racial and ethnic groups make conscience efforts to interact, not to live across campus from each other. Diversity without integration is nothing.Unless the different racial and ethnic groups on campus are mixing and interacting, there is no diversity.




Opinion

SA candidates should focus on individuals, not groups

|

To the Editor: In light of the campaign "scandals" of the last week I am left wondering why politics at Dartmouth College are so political.I don't understand why it is necessary to petition campus organizations for their support, in hopes that the groups' members will blindly vote for the assigned candidate.

Women's Dorm is Not Needed

|

Inmy time here in Hanover, I have found that some strange debates can result from giving academicians too much free time and too little exposure to the outside world. One such debate is that over "women's space," as applied to the recent proposal to create a "women's issues dormitory" that could house the Women's Resource Center.
