Daniell highlights Native American history at College

By Harshil Shah | May 10, 2006

While many students are unaware that part of their jogging route is named for a member of the Mohegan tribe who lived during the 18th century, the lecture that College historian and former history professor Jere Daniell '55 gave Tuesday in Dartmouth Hall aimed to elucidate that and other contributions that Native Americans have made to Dartmouth. Occom Pond, a well-known campus spot, was named for Samson Occom, a student of Eleazar Wheelock and a major solicitor of the funds that helped found the College. Daniell's lecture was the first event in a week-long series devoted to Native Americans at Dartmouth that will end with the Pow-Wow this weekend.

Panel addresses Greek system and minorities

By Jennifer Bandy | May 10, 2006

A panel of minority students and an audience of about 40 discussed issues surrounding racial and ethnic minorities in the Greek system at Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity on Tuesday. At a school where the administration focuses its efforts to make the campus more diverse, some questioned whether the Greek system represents the overall diversity of the student body. Older fraternities have historically dealt with discrimination toward minorities, but as the campus continually changes, many came to the program wondering whether the Greek system is changing as well. Chi Gam member Adam Shpeen '07 initiated the program with the help of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member Lauren Edgar '07 to open a dialogue about minorities in the Greek system.

Scrapped BbOne system diversely affects Hanover business

By Matt Beale | May 9, 2006

Phil Bracikowski / The Dartmouth The cancellation of the BbOne debit account program has had mixed results for local businesses -- causing frustration and financial woes for some, but leaving others unscathed. India Queen lost significant amounts of business after BbOne shut down, owner Bhavnesh Kaushik said. "[BbOne] used to bring in a lot of students, and students used to make the point that they went to the places where the card was accepted," Kaushik said. Everything But Anchovies general manager Jimbo Dowd said that the way the BbOne program was set up helped local businesses. "It's easier for businesses to capture the money from students because, well, it is real money, but it's easier for them to spend it because it's discretionary, it's easier to spend than with a credit card," Dowd said.
