By WILL ROTH and JR SANTO | October 9, 2006

"There may be construction, but at the end of the day we realize how great things are here," McLane undergraduate advisor Brent Drummond '09 said.

Columbus marked by nighttime ceremony

By Sarah Badami | October 9, 2006

Native American students met in the middle of the Green at 12 a.m. Monday to remember Columbus Day with drums and music from the Occom Pond Singers, a campus musical group associated with the Native American community. The event is not a protest, but an opportunity to raise awareness about the unfortunate and generally overlooked consequences of Christopher Columbus' arrival in America, Native Americans at Dartmouth said. "The Columbus Day commemoration is recognition of over 500 years of colonialism exacted by foreign powers that continues in the form of ecological, social and political violence today," Tim Argetsinger '09 said at a NAD meeting. Native American studies professor Colin Calloway, who is of British descent, agrees that there is more to Columbus' arrival than the day reflects. "We have to recognize that [Columbus Day] is not just a success story, not just a story of nation building and triumph.

Emma Haberman / The Dartmouth Senior Staff With the Dartmouth football team set for a Saturday afternoon meeting with Yale (2-1, 1-0 Ivy) on its home turf, the Big Green will be looking for its first victory against a team that is going through some rough times off the field. Yale University's star running back Mike McLeod, last weekend's Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, along with quarterback Matthew Polhemus, were provoked into a brawl last Sunday morning in New Haven, Conn., with several members of the Bulldogs' hockey team. McLeod and Polhemus were arrested, with McLeod being charged with breach of the peace in the second degree and criminal mischief in the third degree.
