'Reasonable' Candidate Slate Misleading
To the Editor: It would be a shame if Dartmouth's newspapers refused to closely examine the composition of the Union for Reasonable Student Government.

If The Dartmouth Review had any claim to seriousness, the paper forfeited it with the abrupt (and perhaps forced) resignation of Daniel Garcia Diaz '95 as editor-in-chief.
College President James Freedman has faced many challenges during his time at Dartmouth. Now he faces a greater challenge, but he is not alone.
Today is Yom Hashoah, the holiday on which we remember the death of the six million Jews lost in the Holocaust. Note the term "remember," as it is common to view the Holocaust not from the standpoint of Jewish history, but rather Jewish memory.
It is that time of year again. Campaigning has hit the Dartmouth campus. Walls are plastered with posters as students metamorphose from typical college undergrads into politicians.
I can almost feel the Student Assembly election candidates creeping through the Hanover forest in camouflage clothing, guns at the ready.
Is anyone out there trying to pay as little attention to Whitewater as possible? For those concerned about the First Lady's role, disregard of the matter might be the most worthwhile position to take. Americans should be uncomfortable, to put it mildly, with the way the media, campaign handlers, politicians and the general public have treated Hillary Clinton from the very beginning.
To the Editor: Do you ever wonder what your tuition money actually pays for? If you're anything like me, this question must cross your mind quite often, in light of annual tuition hikes and constant campus debate over what to do with the College's money.
Inadequate housing is a problem that is beginning to consume our campus. When the Office of Residential Life sent out our 1994-95 housing priority numbers last week, Dean Bud Beatty enclosed a letter detailing the overcrowding we will experience in the fall and explaining, quite simply, some of us will be denied dorm housing.
A year ago, Dartmouth students went to the polls a discontented lot. Angered by a ridiculously left wing and anti-Greek, do-nothing Student Assembly, voters "threw the bums out" and elected candidates of the center-right. This year's Assembly proved to be a mixed bag.
Send in the clowns! I am not going to assume you know their key players. I am not going to assume you know their issues.
To the Editor: In your article about the Student Assembly's report on ROTC ("SA drafts report backing ROTC," March 30), you write that the SA report states: "To remove ROTC would run contrary to the College's 'need blind' admission policy, and would fly in the face of any ideology which bars discrimination based upon economic status." Even though this is only a draft, it is important to correct a common misconception. What the Assembly report fails to realize is that the U.S.
This past week, while visiting my grandparents in Florida, I was reminded how precious our elders are to society.
I am not a syndicated columnist. I am really not all that opinionated. But I felt that after four years of lying back and complaining about everybody else complaining, I would do some complaining of my own. As my fellow countryman Mr. John Cleese so eloquently expressed, I am sick and tired of everybody complaining how sick and tired they are about being sick and tired Dartmouth is an isolated community.
We're all back in Hanover now and facing the somewhat unpleasant notion of three new classes. Many of you undoubtedly find yourselves scrambling to choose that third class each term and, to make your life easier, I have compiled a modest list of courses which I have found to be quite palatable, and others which are a bit less so. I have slaved for almost three years here in Hanover to bring you this valuable information.
I am more than ready to leave behind the dark and misty mornings and crunch of feet on snow. If only Hanover would let me.
To the Editor: I would like to correct an erroneous statement printed in The Dartmouth on Tuesday, March 8th ("Women's Health Services support pregnant students; condoms, pill most popular") that concerns RU 486. RU 486 is the French abortion pill and is very different from "the morning after pill." RU 486 is not available in the United States; it is a pill that induces spontaneous abortion up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy.
To the Editor: I was in a fraternity basement recently and witnessed a profoundly disturbing sight.
