Jaromy Siporen will be best able to steward Student Assembly in the direction of change. After the Editorial Board privately met with each candidate, it became clear that the ideas in Siporen’s platform are the most feasible; his dissatisfaction with Student Assembly’s current structure is the most cogent; his understanding of Student Assembly is the most thorough; and his leadership style is the most conducive for successful implementation of his platform.

In a recent op-ed, “Ain’t Nuthin’ But a Blame Game” (May 2), Michael Kreicher ‘08 concluded that blaming hip-hop music for the problems of racism, sexism, homophobia and violence in society is a convenient but invalid way to address these very real problems. I agree with his arguments, but I would like to focus more specifically on the issue of sexism.

Ian and I want to empower students to accomplish their goals, and to make their life easier while doing it.

Please join us in our vision for Dartmouth. More »

Student Assembly needs immediate, radical and effective reform. By simply implementing new programs, improving existing services and changing its focus to serve the Dartmouth community, a new student government could bring about a revolution in campus life. But Student Assembly has concerned itself so much with self-aggrandizing gestures of support that it has lost sight of its true purpose — serving the needs of Dartmouth students. Our current student government has failed us and I would be remiss to stand by any longer and watch as we fall further victim to Student Assembly’s inadequacy. I seek the presidency of Student Assembly to make our government effective. More »
Student government at Dartmouth abounds with the potential to positively influence the College experience of all students, but its current structure prevents it from achieving its potential. More »
