Debate: College Democrats v. College Republicans
Here I am in 3 Rockefeller Hall, liveblogging the fourth and most important presidential debate of this election season: the one held right here, in this room, between the Dartmouth College Democrats and the Dartmouth College Republicans.
On the Republican side, we have two of Dartblog’s own: Zak Moore ‘09 and Jenn Bandy ‘09, who is the president of the Dartmouth College Republicans, as well as Greg Boguslavsky ‘09, chairman of the New Hampshire College Republicans. For the Democrats, we have the distinguished David Imamura ‘10, president of the Dartmouth College Democrats, Tay Stevenson ‘10, secretary of the College Democrats of America, and newcomer Deanna Portero ‘12.
First, Mr. Moore debated Ms. Portero with three six-minute segments on education, trade, and health care. Both debaters made solid points, Mr. Moore with his trademark peppering of sarcasm and wit, but the event really picked up in its second round, which pitted Ms. Bandy against Mr. Imamura on foreign policy leadership, global threats to the U.S., and Supreme Court nominations. Mr. Boguslavsky and Mr. Stevenson concluded the evening, with segments on economic philosophy, taxes, and climate change.

How Regents Should Reign
As Dartmouth alumni proceed through the legal hoops necessary to defuse a Board-packing plan—which put in unhappy desuetude an historic 1891 Agreement between alumni and the College guaranteeing a half-democratically-elected Board of Trustees—it strikes one… -

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady
And now Dean Tom Crady has precipitously announced his departure from the College after only 20 months on the job. How to read this? By way of background, prior to coming to Dartmouth, Crady had… -
