Student Assembly President Zora deRham ’27 and seven other high-ranking Assembly leaders announced a resolution at Thursday’s Assembly meeting that, if passed, would limit the independence of the Office of Ethics. These positions would replace the current vice president of internal operations role, which is currently filled by a student body election. “The membership of the Office of Ethics is not selected by the student body,” deRham pointed out in defense of the proposal at the meeting. “We’ve reverted the section about the Office of Ethics to what it was prior, aside from the fact that it is permanently an independent office.

At first, it took a while to adjust to the stepped hull. Before long, I anticipated the feel of the hull when we reached speeds that moved the placement of the water under the hull. Dan, Tim and I whooped and raised our arms when we moved out of the channel and headed for open water.
