SA candidates should focus on individuals, not groups

By James Horowitz | April 5, 1995

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

By Dan Richman | April 5, 1995

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.

Putting the 'Student' Back in SA

By Brandon Del Pozo | April 4, 1995

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.

Bookstore Bucks

By Dong Shen | April 3, 1995

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

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 3, 1995

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

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 31, 1995

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.
