Case of Unfair Control by Ruling Majority

By David Rosman | November 17, 1994

To the Editor: I have been interested in getting involved in the Student Assembly and due to sports commitments this Fall term have not been able to. Nevertheless, I still want to stay informed about the ongoings of the Assembly.

Honovich Acted As True Representative

By Brian Staveley | November 16, 1994

To the Editor: I don't pretend to know the intricate workings of the Student Assembly, I am just a '98 with not all that much interest in student government. However, I do know that the only thing that I have heard from the Assembly since I have been here is from John Honovich '97, who apparently was taking the time to find out the opinions of the students on his own. In addition, when I blitzed him with a rather irate message responding to his blitz about the meal plan, he took the time to respond and explain the situation to me personally and tell me what was being done by him and by the Student Assembly about the meal plan. I was impressed by this display of interest in my opinions that clearly went far beyond his duties and yet mirrored something of the ideal for a public servant. Unlike my experiece with many people involved in student government, who seem to be in it simply for their own personal prestige or interest, Honovich seemed to be truly concerned with improving the school for the students here. I can't fault that and I don't think that anyone else can either.

Resignation Inconsistent, Groundless

By Russell Dalferes | November 15, 1994

I don't understand the motive behind Student Assembly President Danielle Moore '95's decision to step down from her leadership position. She was hailed as the great hope to maintain (or regain) liberal leadership of the Assembly, and when the first sign of disagreement with those of the opposite point of view enters under her administration, she steps down, citing inability to work with the Assembly. How did someone like this ever get elected to a power position in the first place?

Honovich Mistreated, Moore Disappoints

By Hin Yoo | November 15, 1994

To the Editor: I am writing for two reasons: First, in support of John Honovich '97, who is the only Assembly Executive Committee member who seems to be genuinely interested in carrying out the will of the student body, not a personal political agenda. Secondly, I am writing to express my disappointment in the resignation of Assembly President Danielle Moore '95.

The Wrong Resignation

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | November 14, 1994

Last night one Student Assembly leader announced her resignation. But it was not the right one. In his actions, Assembly Secretary John Honovich '97 has shown the students he claims to represent that he should not be a part of their representative body.

Give Students A Vote

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | November 11, 1994

In a public forum yesterday, Chairman of the Board of Trustees E. John Rosenwald, discussing the relationship between the Board and the students, said "We are running a store here and you are the customers." With a yearly tuition of about $25,000, it is indisputable that students are paying for something.

A Mid-Term Renewal of Faith in Democracy

By Jim Brennan | November 11, 1994

As I look back on Tuesday's midterm elections, now that the pundits have stopped predicting and the commercials have stopped reverberating, it is clear to me that the election season was one of both great hope and great disappointment. Beyond rationality, and beyond the common argument that it is difficult for the vote of one man or woman to really make a difference in a national election, lies my belief that no prognostication or prediction is as important as what each American does when he or she steps into a voting booth on Election Day. On Tuesday, at 8 a.m.

The Toilet Roll and I

By Brian Deaner | November 11, 1994

Everyone succumbs at one point or another in their life to idiosyncratic behavior that is not completely understood by others. Typically, one's fetishes don't necessarily provoke embarrassment or discomfort, but this past week, I had a most traumatic experience.

Voters Need Patience, Not Change

By Greg Richards | November 11, 1994

Now that the Congressional elections are mercifully concluded, it is time we stepped back to look at our handiwork. For weeks the media has promoted the idea of America's "angry" voters, who are disgusted with politicians and tired of the status quo.

Health for a Nicaraguan Hospital

By Rachel Wellner | November 10, 1994

Upon arrival in Ocotal, a rural Nicaraguan village, I distinctly recall experiencing a surreal mix of smells, sounds and visions. It was clear that I had entered a culture vastly different from my own.
