Dartmouth College has elected an openly gay student as its student body president. Tim Andreadis was the dark horse in the conservative Ivy League school's contest for student body president, a write-in candidate who championed reduced student government spending while his opponents offered the popular plank of preserving the Greek system. Andreadis did not make his sexual orientation an issue in the campaign, though he said students were aware of it because he has served as president of the school's gay-straight alliance. "People knew me as out," he said. "And that was fine." More important, he and others said, was aggressive door-to-door campaigning and e-mailing; coalition-building among campus groups, particularly minority student groups; and a platform that addressed campus issues. In fact, students seemed surprised when asked last week how Andreadis's sexual orientation factored into the race. Andreadis took more than half the votes cast in the four-way race.
