SA funds buses to Boston, NYC for holidays

By Brad Russo | November 11, 1998

The Student Assembly allocated funds last night to subsidize student bus rides to Boston and New York City for Thanksgiving and at the end of this term and again passed a resolution which called for student voting in Board of Trustees elections. The suffrage resolution which passed with minimal debate and only two votes in opposition, calls on College President James Wright and the Trustees to lend their support to the idea. The resolution states the College is reviewing the way Trustees are elected and urges student involvement in this evaluation process. The Assembly passed a similar resolution in 1997, but no action was taken by the Trustees. At the time, Trustee Chairman Stephen Bosworth said adopting the Assembly's resolution would require altering the College Charter and "there is not much sentiment to go through the arduous process to change the Charter." Assembly Vice President and resolution co-sponsor Case Dorkey '99 said the plan for student suffrage could have more impact this year than in the past because the resolution is coinciding with the election process review. Currently, only College alumni are allowed to vote in an election for six of the Trustees.

New fraternity members gather: Tom Adair '99, Chris Chambers, Susan Marine meet with students

By Wendy Yu | November 11, 1998

It was maybe the biggest congregation of bright plastic backpacks, red hats, lunch boxes, laminated ID tags and a big yellow pencil the College has seen this year. The Inter-Fraternity Council's Tom Adair '99, Acting Assistant Dean of Residential Life Chris Chambers and Susan Marine, coordinator of the Sexual Abuse Program, organized an all male crowd of about 80 in 105 Dartmouth Hall last night to raise awareness about such issues as self-respect, community responsibility and respecting the fraternity system. The organizers said they hoped to make pledges think about the implications of their actions and who holds final responsibility before they are faced with similar real-life situations. Legally, all members of the house are insured by their fraternity for related lawsuits except for the president who is not covered, Ted Shen '99 told his small discussion group. Traditionally, the annual meeting involves speeches, but this year Adair formed smaller discussion groups lead by members of the fraternity system, including seniors Frode Eilertsen, David Hawkins, John Muckle and Shen to create a more interactive environment. Group leaders asked pledges their reasons for joining a fraternity and who they believed held final responsibility for their actions.
