Ten schools participate in AAm conference on black identities

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | April 25, 1994

More than 75 students from 10 colleges across the Northeast came to Dartmouth to participate in the Afro-American Society's first Intercollegiate Conference this weekend. The conference titled "Celebrating Our Heritage: Exploring Our Multiple Identities" included speakers and workshops on topics ranging from beauty ideals to the Greek system to African-American leadership. There were two keynote lectures Saturday that highlighted the weekend - "Racism 101," given by Nikki Giovanni and "Black Economic Empowerment," given by Dr. Juwanza Kunjufu - but LaShae Sloan '94, a co-chair of the program, said she enjoyed the student workshops the most. The workshops "stimulated a lot of intellectual discussion that you don't usually get," Shakari Cameron '96, the other co-chair, said. The workshops engaged students in conversations about prevalent issues in the African-American community including gender equity, the role of blacks within Greek systems, divisions among African-Americans based on different skin color and beauty standards and maintaining identity at predominantly white colleges, said Zola Mashariki '94, a member of the conference committee. The conference, which included 17 different events, began Friday afternoon and ended yesterday. English professors William Cook, Deborah Chay, and Martin Favor, African and Afro-American Studies Professor Chinosole, Associate Dean of Freshman Anthony Tillman and Class of 1996 Dean Sylvia Langford participated in panel discussions during the weekend.

Lederman speech brings light to physics

By Keith Lavigne | April 22, 1994

Montgomery Fellow Leon Lederman brought his humorous and lighthearted discussion of physics to Dartmouth Hall yesterday, captivating the standing-room-only crowd during his afternoon speech. Lederman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist from Columbia University and the University of Chicago, presented theoretical physics theories using anecdotes, metaphors and jokes. The speech was about the search to understand the universe's basic elements. "The history of physics and general science," Lederman said, "is a road that started in ancient Rome and has continued along to the recent discoveries of sub-atomic particles such as quarks and neutrinos." Lederman constructed a picture of the universe's building blocks, interjecting humor and stories to help illustrate the information.
