Jewish minor set

By Rebecca Siegel | April 27, 1994

The Committee on Instruction passed last week a proposal to institute a new multi-disciplinary Jewish studies minor in the fall. The six-course minor will include three required courses from the Asian studies program and the religion department and allow students to take three others from the history, government and comparative literature departments chosen in consultation with an advisor. The required courses include Religion 6, Introduction to Judaism, one of two Hebrew literature courses in the Asian studies department and a third course in either religion or Hebrew literature. The idea for a Jewish studies minor emerged out of the formation of the Jewish Faculty and Staff Association more than one year ago, said the Association's coordinator Andrew Friedland, an environmental studies professor. The Association then formed a steering committee that developed the proposal submitted to the COI last week. "Our goal is to [encourage] those students interested in pursuing the minor to do so.

By Colin Grey | April 27, 1994

Last night Gilbert Pilot, a spokesperson for the Innu Native Americans in northern Quebec, spoke about their resistance to the building of a hydro-electric dam near their homeland.

"Our homeland is our culture, our language, because we can name every tree, every lake, every fish in our language," he said.

French professors from prestigious academic institutions such as Williams College, Brandeis University and Cornell University will also attend the Institute, which will be held at Dartmouth June 28 through July 27. Kritzman said he believes the Institute "will help make French a stronger discipline in the next century." The invited scholars will examine the theme "Culture and Memory in France."

By Camille Powell | April 26, 1994

Ghosts from seasons past haunted the men's lacrosse team this Saturday in Providence. The 19th-ranked Big Green lost 10-9 to seventh-ranked Brown in a manner that conjured up memories from last season. Fourth-quarter comebacks by opponents resulted in tough one-goal losses for the Big Green several times last year, and it happened again this weekend.
