Hellenic Society plans events concerning Greek culture

By Sarah Gerry | April 27, 1998

Even if they have heard of Cyprus, a small island in the Mediterranean, most students are not wringing their hands over the role of United Nations peacekeeping troops who guard the border between Northern Cyprus, populated by mostly Turkish Cypriots, and the remainder of the island. But the College's Hellenic Society, a group of students interested in learning more about Greek culture, is determined to awaken students to the conflict, and make them aware of the ethnic cleansing of Greek Cypriots that occurred after the 1974 Turkish invasion. The society is sponsoring a human rights panel in mid-May that will hopefully include Greek and Turkish Cypriots and will feature Kathryn Porter, president of the Human Rights Alliance, according to the organization's social chair, Nicole Eftychiou '99. The Hellenic Society's founder and acting vice president, Pauline Christo '99, said the group, which has 30 members, many of whom are of Greek descent, also has plans to try to bring Modern Greek back into Dartmouth's curriculum. But the society's concerns extend beyond influencing the administration and combating student apathy. The society sponsored a talk last Thursday by Emeritus English Professor Peter Bien.
