By Tim Mccann | April 13, 1994

To the Editor: I am writing in regard to Won Joon Choe '97's outspoken column against The Dartmouth Review ("The Truth of the Matter at The Review," April 11). Daniel Garcia Diaz '95's resignation as Editor-in-Chief is disappointing, as are the suspicious circumstances surrounding his doing so.

Artzer's wild ride nears last curves

By Maggie Fritz | April 13, 1994

Nicole Artzer '94 compared her year at the head of the Student Assembly to riding a roller coaster - each time the Assembly looked like it was heading up, it was only to come to a sickening fall. Sitting on the floor of her bedroom, with her teddy bears watching silently from her bed, Artzer explained the ups and downs of the past year between bites of her "healthy choice" chicken sandwich with cheese and pickles. "It's ironic because I was having these dreams last summer as being heralded as the person who brought Student Assembly back to the middle," Artzer said. "But after this year, Student Assembly is just so far back to the right that it's like having one foot on the banana peel," she said. The roller coaster ride began with a jolt, when the constitutionality of her executive appointments was questioned in the first general Assembly meeting of the year, and nearly ended with a big fall, when members of the Executive Committee attempted to impeach her last term. And throughout the rocky presidential ride, Artzer's had to squabble with Reform SA!, the conservative bloc of students that held 15 of the Assembly's 21 at-large seats. But somehow it all stayed on track. The one thing Artzer singled out as keeping the Assembly on course, even at times when it seemed out of control, was accountability. She said the ability of the Assembly to assume responsibility for its actions enabled the body to continue moving forward despite the turmoil. "I think the things that should always go on in student government are representation, legitimacy and accountability, she said.

By Hannah Wolfson | April 12, 1994

Last Friday the Hood Museum of Art opened an exciting new exhibit in its Jaffe-Hall galleries.

The exhibit's designers made an interesting choice in the organization of the works.

Behind the Slogans

By Maggie Fritz | April 12, 1994

A campaign manager is not a necessity to run for Student Assembly president, but no candidate can design and plaster the campus with posters and promises to save the Student Assembly all by him or herself. From friends hanging posters to strangers giving the candidates ideas, more than 50 people are working behind the scenes to help the five presidential candidates with their campaigns. While presidential candidates Jim Brennan '96 and Kenji Sugahara '95 have small campaign teams, Jeremy Katz '95 is running his campaign with a larger base of supporters and Danielle Moore '95 and Caleb Scott '97 are working mostly alone. Mark Cicirelli '96 has been assisting Brennan with his presidential campaign since Brennan began preparations about four weeks ago. Cicirelli, who spends more than three hours a day helping Brennan, said those working on the campaign assist Brennan in organizing his ideas. "We're there to hear what he has to say and then give him our impression," Cicirelli said. Kenji Sugahara '95 said he has a group of friends helping him with his campaign. Sugahara said he began to think about his campaign over Spring break but did not begin preparations until five days before the campaign period began.

Musicians win cash

By Susan Zieger | April 12, 1994

The lilting tones of woodwinds, the searing melancholy of strings and the boom of brass instruments emanated from Spaulding Auditorium yesterday afternoon, but this was no ordinary practice session of one of the College's myriad ensembles. The music was fraught with concentration and determination as students competed not only for critical acclaim but for cash prizes in the annual Culley Competition. The Culley competition selects the best performance by undergraduate musicians in three divisions, brass, woodwind and stringed instruments.
