nospam@example.com (SA Editor) — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 10:45:20 -0500

Statement of Concern Regarding Journalistic Integrity in The Dartmouth

Sponsored by Tim Andreadis ‘07, Yuki Kondo-Shah ‘07, Michelle Davis ‘07, Soralee Ayvar ‘07, Raina Hammel ‘07 and The Diversity and Community Committee

WHEREAS The Dartmouth exists as the main daily news source for students, alumni, parents, and the larger community;

WHEREAS The Dartmouth is an independent organization;

WHEREAS The Dartmouth leases office space from the College in Robinson Hall and is permitted to establish distribution centers around campus and also has a College representative on its Board of Visitors;

WHEREAS The Dartmouth exists as a community newspaper that has a large impact on student opinion and is often the only means by which students learn about issues on campus;

WHEREAS The Dartmouth has received a number of complaints specifically regarding their poor fact checking, biased selection of Op-Eds, misquoting or misrepresenting Dartmouth community members, editorializing their news articles, misleading and/or factually inaccurate article titles—all relating to a serious lack of journalistic integrity and accountability on behalf of The Dartmouth under the guise of ‘free speech’;

WHEREAS several students feel that The Dartmouth has not made any substantial movement toward amending or remedying the aforementioned problems with the publication;

WHEREAS The Dartmouth has consistently refused to print retractions to address these and other issues;

Let it be resolved that Student Assembly issue the following statement of concern regarding The Dartmouth:

The Student Assembly and members of the student body are concerned that The Dartmouth, as an independent organization with a large impact on campus, has generated a number of concerns among members of the Dartmouth community regarding their poor fact checking, biased selection of Op-Eds, misquoting or misrepresenting Dartmouth community members, editorializing their news articles, misleading and/or factually inaccurate article titles—all relating to a serious lack of journalistic integrity and accountability on behalf of The Dartmouth under the guise of ‘free speech’;

The Student Assembly and members of the student body request that The Dartmouth ascertain a greater degree of transparency and integrity in its editorial decisions for selecting Op-Eds and printing retractions.

The Student Assembly and members of the student body request that The Dartmouth works toward a greater degree of objectivity in its criterion for selecting Op-Eds.

The Student Assembly and members of the student body request that The Dartmouth create an online message board on its website homepage or an alternative forum for students to address inaccuracies or issues that arise with the reporting / journalism of the publication;

Let it be finally resolved that the Student Assembly share the aforementioned statement and recommendations with The Dartmouth editorial board, The Dartmouth’s Board of Visitors, and College administrators in an effort to encourage a dialogue and work with the paper to make improvements.

Student Assembly's Guidelines for Cosponsorship

nospam@example.com (SA Editor) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 11:46:53 -0400

Student Assembly's Guidelines for Cosponsorship

While Student Assembly was not created as a cosponsoring body and does not receive funds for this purpose, we realize that sometimes our funds and time can best be used to help other organizations achieve their goals. We are excited to have this opportunity and encourage those organizations that need assistance, whether it be financial or logistical, to let us know of your needs.

Student Assembly may choose to help financially, logistically, or both. If we choose to help financially, we will most likely require that we play a significant part in the logistics and implementation of the program or event as well.

The following guidelines apply only to those requests which do not come from within Student Assembly. Student Assembly reserves the right to determine whether or not a program or event fulfills the requirements and whether or not to cosponsor, and to make this determination in any way the Assembly sees fit.

Programs and events must adhere to the following conditions to be considered:

1. The program or event is consistent with, and enriches, the Assembly's and current executive board's goals.

2. The program or event benefits the whole or a large portion of the student body and student community. For the most part, programs or events must have lasting impact (usually educational), to be granted support.

3. Alternative methods of funding are being pursued, including applying to COSO, Programming Board, and Collis Governing Board. For those organizations, programs, or events that fulfill Programming Board and/or COSO's and/or Collis Governing Board's funding guidelines, the alternative methods of funding must be exhausted before Student Assembly will consider the proposal.

4. The program or event has a clear purpose, full logistical planning, and all other required forms of support.

Thank you for looking to Student Assembly for assistance. We are always here to help you enrich Dartmouth and the Dartmouth community.

Blitz Background Advertising

nospam@example.com (SA Editor) — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 23:09:14 -0500

Student Organizations will be able to purchase advertising space on the blitz backgrounds for $10/day. To ensure that all student organizations wishing to advertise an event are able to do so, we will allow the ads for a given day to rotate through, just like the two backgrounds currently on the blitz terminals. The money raised through the sale of advertising space will go directly towards the maintenance of the blitz terminals and the expansion of the program to locations currently without blitz terminals!
