Joke Candidate Snead Hearn the hedgehog runs for SA President
Valerie Silverman reports in The Dartmouth:Another poster also notes that Hearn is the only candidate who supports all students' rights to "have their own pot." Beneath this slogan appears a photograph of a hedgehog peering out of a pot with the caption, "In fact, Mr. Hearn lives in a pot."
In past years, some of Hearn's posters have generated considerable controversy. In 1994, Hearn ran under the slogan, "Write In Snead Hearn for President. He has TWO HEALTHY testicles," seemingly referring to the fact that Dartmouth's then president, James Freedman, was being treated for testicular cancer.
An April 1994 editorial in The Dartmouth criticized Hearn for this "mean-spirited, juvenile behavior." The writer concluded, "Snead Hearn may have two healthy testicles, but whoever printed this poster has no balls."
In the rest of the article Valerie Silverman actually interviews Hearn over email. The article is actually funny and lively and does not take The Dartmouth style seriously. Is this because of the subject, Silverman, or the editors? I'm torn between wishing we'd see more articles like Silverman's in The Dartmouth, and wondering how it is decided to allow divergence from the paper's humorless style guide.
