A Vital Vote for At-Large Assembly
I remember walking along the halls of my dorm last spring, looking at the various election posters.

To the Editor: This letter is in response to Claire Unis' column "For the Next Assembly President," (April 8), and her misguided comments about certain Student Assembly presidential candidates. In her column, Unis attempts to ridicule and even dismiss, with the notable exception of those of Danielle Moore, the ideas of all of the Assembly Presidential candidates, but she especially attacks those of Jeremy Katz. Katz, who has served the student body as a judge on the Committee on Standards, an Assembly member, and SAE President, was one of the few Assembly presidential candidates that presented clear ideas for the benefit of the Dartmouth community, as opposed to generalities.
You've heard their platforms and seen their posters, but what are the candidates really like as human beings?
The decision students make in tomorrow's elections will speak volumes on what they value most in their years here and what they believe a better community should be. Much of the rhetoric we have heard from this year's candidates expounds on the virtue of student services.
To the Editor: In dormitories around campus, a group of people, or a student, has posted signs reading: "Write-in Snead Hearn for President.
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.
