SEC Class Marshals will be replaced

By Anthony Bramante | May 4, 2006

To the Editor: In our selection of the 2006 Class Marshals, the Senior Executive Committee attempted to appoint individuals that represent a variety of perspectives in our community, have demonstrated leadership on and off campus and exemplify the spirit of Dartmouth ("Leading by Example to End Divisions," April 28; "Senior class marshals announced; Five of eight positions filled by Senior Executive Committee members," April 27). Although we still believe that our original slate of Marshals fulfills these criteria and was chosen fairly, we recognize that many in our class feel that our Marshal selection process was unfair and that their voices were overlooked in our decisions. Also, we realize that because of unfortunate circumstances, this committee started off with a tense and fragile relationship with those it is supposed to represent.
