Take Care What You Say

By Abiola Lapite | April 12, 1995

Anotable feature ofDartmouth culture isthe tendency tosqueeze all manners ofviews and opinions into a restrictive set of categories, namely left, right or (least often) center.Speaking out for or against anything is enough to get one branded a "conservative" or (more often) a "liberal." Quite apart from whether these terms are as deserving of scorn as they are made out to be, are such terms of reference the only ones there are? Confucius once said, "The superior man, in the world, does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything; what is right he will follow."These are wise words indeed, and most of us would like to believe that we live by such a maxim. But how can this be true if we come pre-equipped to see the world from an ideological stance?

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.
