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?
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.
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.
My decision to resign as Student Assembly President is a well thought-out reaction to an entire term's events.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Foreign Study Programs and Language Study Abroad programs serve a variety of functions both for students and the College.
I'm not sure when the transition happened, but at some point I fell out of the loop -- I feel like I have lost my job at Dartmouth.
Over the past few weeks, a proposal to change the fundamental meal plan system of Dartmouth Dining Services has garnered a lot of attention.
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.
He is, by any physical measure, not a large man. His hair, longish and tousled, has not yet betrayed him by completely fading to silver.
To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the three incidents that occured last Wednesday morning in French Hall, down in the River Cluster.
Many students undoubtedly know of Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel's public address in Spaulding Auditorium two weeks ago. Fewer perhaps realize that his speech was the highlight of a weekend-long international conference on the Holocaust.
In about a month, the College's Christmas tree will be displayed on the Green. This tree will cost up to $4,000 -- the money coming from the President's discretionary fund -- and will be erected on the middle of the Green, a privilege shared only by the bonfire and the snow sculpture. The College does not erect any other religious symbols; the town does not allow any other religious symbols to be permanently erected on the Green.
Ramon Cortines, the chancellor of New York City Public Schools, who spoke at Dartmouth this past week, is a man who should be listened to.
Here's hot it goes: you're walking down the street at night, leaving the fraternity party of your choice.
Reading Kevin Walsh's Column, "18 Months For Murder" (Oct. 31), about the man who was sentences only 18 months for killing his wife, prompted me to share another example of such an injustice. I used to be against the death penalty.
