Honovich Deserves Support

By Alexandra Morgan | November 18, 1994

To the Editor: As a member of the SA Executive committee, I would like to say that I have the upmost faith and trust in John Honovich '97 and his ability to serve as a student representative.

Honovich Deserves Support

By Nina Nho | November 18, 1994

To the Editor: I think that the charges against John Honovich '97 are unfounded. I think that certain members of the SA Executive committee do not want a person who does not agree with their views.

Moore, Honovich Elected; Stay the Course

By Todd Johann | November 18, 1994

To the Editor: The resignation of Daniel Moore '95 and John Honovich '97 would only prove that partisan politics can rule the Student Assembly. The student body last spring elected Moore as president of the Assembly.

Centrism in the Assembly

By Jim Brennan | November 18, 1994

Deep within the Student Assembly, there is the centrist. There is the dedicated woman or man who has no plans to marginalize groups with different ideas, different visions and different thoughts. There is this person who is at first a Dartmouth student before he or she is a liberal or a conservative, and who wants to better both the Assembly and the Dartmouth community not only for himself or herself, but for all of us who go to school here and who spend our incredibly important four years here. This centrist works not only on tangible products and services that the Assembly can provide, but devotes an equal amount of time to important social and community -based issues that affect the quality of life of each and every one of us. In other words, the centrist realizes the necessity of an accurate course guide, a dining guide and a student advantage card, but at the same time recognizes that there is more our student government can and should do. He or she knows the influence that the Assembly can wield in securing computers in the stacks of the library, in working with the College Procter to improve lighting and in convincing the gym to expand the weight room hours.

Look Past Moore's Decision to the Issues

By Holly Sateia | November 18, 1994

To the Editor: As the adviser to the Student Assembly, I wanted to write in an attempt to refocus the conversation with regard to Danielle Moore '95's resignation. Many people have written challenging the rationale behind her decision, and yet the fact that other women leaders have not experienced the same treatment does not invalidate Moore's experience. It's easy to spend time second guessing her decision . It is harder to take on the challenge she presented and to look critically at the way leaders are supported on this campus. It saddens me that her situation is not unique.

Honovich Deserves Support

By Paul Stone | November 18, 1994

To the Editor: I will be the first to admit that I haven't been to a Student Assembly meeting yet (I'm only a '98), but the only reason I know it exists is because John Honovich '97 has tried to keep me informed.

Empowerment of Women a Reason to Stay

By Kimberly Worboys | November 17, 1994

To the Editor: As a woman and a feminist I am disappointed with the reasons given by Danielle Moore '95 for her resignation of the Student Assembly presidency. I do not fault her for failing to stop infighting in the Assembly; that task seems superhuman.

The Real Gender Problems Forgotten

By Claire Unis | November 17, 1994

Student Assembly President Danielle Moore '95's resignation sparked predictable responses: outrage, criticism, confusion. The act of resignation is a controversial one -- a disappointing one, from the standpoint of the students who elected her with the expectation that she would serve as Assembly president for the whole year and try to put the Assembly back on course.

Fighting Sexism an Unnecessary Sacrifice

By Pamm Quinn | November 17, 1994

I am writing in order to support Danielle Moore '95's decision to resign as Student Assembly president, as well as to say something to those who have attacked her for doing so. Over the past 24 hours what I have heard most about her decision are loud proclamations from men that if Moore was not respected as a leader, it was not because she was a woman, but because she was a bad leader. I am not a part of the Assembly, nor do I know anyone involved in this organization, but as a woman and a student leader on campus, I have encountered both subtle and overt sexism and complete disrespect since the day I arrived on this campus. Making the problem worse are the men (most of the male students at Dartmouth I would say) who react violently to such a claim and refuse to listen to anything that Moore, or any woman making a similar complaint, has to say. Though I know that it will do no good, I demand that each and every man on this campus examine his behavior and ask himself whether he really has treated every woman with whom he has come into contact with the respect she deserves. For example, have you never made sexist comments, used sexist terms or cracked sexist jokes?

In Resigning, Moore Failed As Activist

By William S. Kartalopoulos | November 17, 1994

I regret deeply that Danielle Moore '95 felt the need to resign as Student Assembly president. Although I did not always agree with the positions she took, she provided a good example of leadership, and I admired her conciliatory approach to Assembly politics which, over the past couple of years, have at times -- though not always, as some believe -- embodied all that is wrong with American politics today. She was having a hard time and I think that perhaps the poor attendance at Assembly meetings proved to be her biggest bane (and, indirectly, the cause of many problems), however she continued to stick to her beliefs.

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?
