5 questions for Student Assembly (SA) president TRAVIS GREEN '08

Why won't the SA take a position on the alumni lawsuit?

The issue will be resolved in the courts. SA doesn't need to be distracted by it. Students here want to live their lives as students.

The opportunities Dartmouth offers for undergraduate research distinguishes it and helps it attract top students. Let's promote Dartmouth as a research college where students work one on one with professors doing groundbreaking work.

We're trying to help students buy books at lower prices and assure that on-campus housing will not become more expensive than living off.

We need one other than Keggy, much as I like him.

The Dartmouth declined to endorse you because of your Stance on freedom of speech, What is it?

I agree with what the Constitution says, but! do think there should be limits on speech designed to intentionally hurt others.
