Thursday, May 31, 2007Spalding, the Lone DissenterI have it from a reliable anonymous source that the lone dissenter from the Association of Alumni's letter to the Board of Trustees is David P. Spalding '76, the Secretary-Treasurer of the AoA. Coincidentally, of all the Executive Committee and its officers, Spalding is the only member who works for the College. He has been the Vice President for Alumni Relations since late 2005. In his statement for the AoA election he wrote the following:As vice president for alumni relations, I am committed to enhancing communication between the College and her alumni. We must do a more effective job of gathering broad alumni opinion and informing all of the alumni about what’s happening in Hanover.This is curious, as it can be—and most certainly will be—argued that the most effective form of communication is through elections. When the administration's favored candidates lose the last 4 seats in a row in elections to the Board of Trustees, the alumni are communicating their dissatisfaction. Spalding, though, is apparently willing to drastically weaken the alumni's ability to be heard. Since the only College employee is also the only person who dissented from Hutchinson's '76 letter, it won't take long before one question, in particular, is asked: Is the pressure to reform how trustees are elected coming from the administration? At this point, such a question is pure conjecture; however, President Wright has shown a willingness to meddle in the past (most recently, the Ask Dartmouth website), and it would come as no surprise if Neukom's '64 seemingly off-the-cuff remarks originated in Wright. Posted by A.S. Erickson at 2:50 PM Comments The correct spelling is Spalding. Posted by Noted Posted by Kudos to Spalding for standing up to the establishment, i.e. the majority of the Alumni Association executive board, as it drives the Association steadily toward courtroom humiliation and financial embarrassment. Posted by Anonymous: I think most people looking at the recent events objectively would come to the conclusion that Spalding is part of the establishment. Posted by I got to play Assassin's Creed which kind of disappointed me. There is some great work in there, great work. The art is fantastic...the levels in that game are huge. The free running things works really well and feels wow power leveling great to control, though after awhile the joy and awe kind of wares off. I hated the story...the whole setting kind of frustrated me. I was so completely looking forward to playing as an assassin during the Crusades. When I first heard the wow powerleveling concept for the game and awe the screenshots I was pretty jazzed. That excitement was quickly smothered when I found out I was a descendant of Altair and I was in a simulation. Great...a game within a game. That really kind of spoiled the whole thing for me. I played about halfway through the game before I completely stopped. I think the wow gold sequel that is inevitably going to get made will be pretty good...though I think they have kind f locked themselves into the whole genetic memory story thread. There is some really great stuff in that game, but the story, and combat really kind of killed it for me. The combat is still not that great of an improvement over the POP stuff. It is decent, but it feels like it could be so much better if they would just give the power leveling player more control over the character.
