Play honors first black female pilot

By Kathrin Weston | February 9, 1998

As a part of campus programming for African-American history month, writer and actress Madeline McCray performed a one-act play about Bessie Coleman, the world's first female black pilot, last Friday to a mainly female audience in 105 Dartmouth Hall. In "A Dream to Fly: The Bessie Coleman Story," part speech and part performance, McCray played the role of daredevil pioneer aviator Coleman, born in Texas in 1892. From Coleman's point of view, McCray told the story of the aviator's struggle to fulfill her dream of becoming a pilot and of the adversity she encountered. Her goal was to set an example and to encourage African Americans to learn what she called the "art of flying" in order to keep up with a fast-paced technical world. "The only way to be safe is to belong to the future," McCray said.

Mass e-mail message alleges misconduct

By Jacob T. Elberg | February 5, 1998

More than 500 students received a BlitzMail message Tuesday and Wednesday in which Brian de Moya '00 alleged he was mistreated by Safety and Security officers and assaulted by a Hanover Policeman Saturday night. De Moya told The Dartmouth last night he had a bruise on his upper right eye socket from being thrown into a concrete wall by the police officer; a cut on his left wrist from being handcuffed; and bruises on his right palm and left knee. Hanover Police Chief Nick Giaccone would not comment other than to say "there was an incident and it is still under investigation." The two Safety and Security officers who initially responded to the complaint also declined to comment last night. De Moya sent a BlitzMail message Monday evening, telling his version of the events, to the members of Alpha Delta fraternity. De Moya's message included his official written response to a Safety and Security investigation of the incident. De Moya also sent the message to Jules Kesner '00 and Takeshi Toyohara '00 who included de Moya's story in their "Generic Good Morning Message" -- a daily message of news and information which is sent to more than 275 students daily. "I feel people should be aware of its occurrence," De Moya wrote. De Moya's message said two Safety and Security officers arrived at the common room of his three-room double in French Hall around midnight Saturday evening, 30 minutes after a party ended there.
