Daniell highlights Native American history at College
By Harshil Shah | May 10, 2006While 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.

Committee skirts copyright issues with unspoken theme
By Harshil Shah | February 10, 2006Murmurs about a Calvin and Hobbes theme for Winter Carnival that have been heard around campus for weeks are technically unfounded: the 2006 theme for Dartmouth's blowout winter weekend is "Stupendous Games: Mischief in the Snow" -- a deliberate move by the carnival committee to skirt copyright laws. Cartoonist Bill Watterson does not license the rights for his two characters because he feels that using the characters in marketing strategies violates the spirit that they represent, according to the website of Watterson's publisher, Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC. After the College's legal office told the carnival committee that it may run into legal problems by using the Calvin and Hobbes characters, the group looked into the copyright laws, according to carnival co-chair Megan Paradise '08. The committee was able to confirm that the College's legal office was correct and adjusted the theme right away, said committee member Jonathan Kling '04. Andrews McMeel, however, was not contacted by the College, according to Rebecca Schuler, publicity director at Andrews McMeel.
