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.

Alpha Phi holds inaugural rush events

By Matt Beale | October 5, 2006

Teresa Lattanzio / The Dartmouth Staff Introduced on campus after 2006 Winter sorority rush, Alpha Phi sorority is holding its first ever rush events this fall, drawing generally positive responses from other sororities. Alpha Phi's rush process principally differs from that of other sororities in that it lacks a physical plant -- most members currently live on the ground floor of Smith dormitory -- and consequently is holding rush parties in the Hanover Inn, FUEL dance floor and the Top of the Hop. Alpha Phi President Lauren Orr '08 said that the lack of a physical plant is not a problem.

Tucker Foundation funds seven Katrina Relief trips

By Amita Kulkarni | October 5, 2006

In recognition of the continued need for aid work in the Gulf Coast region, seven student-led trips will head south this December to continue the Hurricane Katrina Relief project. Last year, only two groups were sent down to New Orleans and Mississippi through the Tucker Foundation. The number was raised to 17 this year -- the other 10 of which will occur during spring break and Summer term, depending on funding -- once the need for continued relief work became apparent. Sherry Zhao '07 and Diana Jih '09, two of the student coordinators of the Katrina Relief Trips, explained that the difficulty in sending more than two trips down last year stemmed primarily from the pressure to organize relief efforts quickly in the immediate wake of Katrina. "This year, we get to build upon those trips from last year and the research they did but also now the need is very different.
