Cutter-Shabazz: A Look at Campus's Black Community

By Jack Boger | October 27, 2011

A stately brick building with white shutters and a copper cupola perched on the roof, Cutter-Shabazz blends in with Dartmouth's typical Georgian architecture, save for the unusual script above the front door: "El Hajj Malik El Shabazz," the Muslim name adopted by Malcolm X. Home to the Shabazz Center for Intellectual Inquiry, part of the College's affinity housing program, Cutter houses the office for the Afro-American Society and a space for campus events.

Safety and Security to increase patrols over big weekend

By JENNY CHE and MICHAEL RIORDAN | October 20, 2011

When the Dartmouth community gathers to enjoy Homecoming weekend, Safety and Security and Dartmouth Emergency Medical Services will work with the Hanover Police, the Hanover Fire Department and Green Mountain Security to ensure the safety of students and visitors, according to Director of Safety and Security and College Proctor Harry Kinne. Homecoming weekend brings more people to campus, so increased police presence is to be expected, Kinne said. Last year's Homecoming was "an average year," with around 10 arrests, most of which were alcohol-related, he said. Additionally, two students were arrested last year for attempting to touch the bonfire, while a third received a warning. Safety and Security will have five officers on patrol, with additional officers on foot, Kinne said.
