Assembly proposes stricter COS standards

By Allie Lowe | October 11, 2006

Student Assembly approved legislation endorsing the Committee on Standards Task Force Report at Tuesday night's meeting over the objection of some members who worry that the report's recommendations create barriers for victims of sexual assault. The report, which was sponsored by Adam Shpeen '07 and the Academic Affairs Committee, sets forth eight recommendations to the Dean of the College based on the research of a task force that was created last spring. Among the report's recommendations, two sparked debate among Assembly members -- one allowing direct questioning and one raising COS' burden of proof. The report recommends that the College institute procedures that allow the accused party to ask witnesses and their accusers questions during COS hearings.

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.
