Second bias incident reported

By Michelle Deloison-Baum | January 24, 2013

Josephine Coury / The Dartmouth Staff Two students were targeted and verbally harassed in the Class of 1953 Commons on Wednesday, according to a campus email from Interim President Carol Folt and Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson. This incident marks the second bias incident reported this week, following racist graffiti scrawled in the Choates residential hall cluster on Saturday. The incident occurred during lunchtime in '53 Commons, according to Justin Anderson, director of media relations for the College. "Two students reported that another student walked by them, made eye contact and verbally harassed them by speaking gibberish that was perceived to be mock Chinese," he said. The students went to the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, where they were encouraged to report the incident through Maxient, an online program, Anderson said. Upon receiving the information, Safety and Security immediately contacted the students and launched an investigation to identify the perpetrator. Efforts to respond to bias incidents on campus are conducted through the Bias Incident Response Team, according to OPAL director Alysson Satterlund.

Budget, venue affect PB concerts

By Michelle Deloison-Baum | January 15, 2013

Sujin Lim / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Programming Board, which has not hosted a large concert since Avicii came in Winter 2012, plans to bring a "popular" artist to campus this Spring term, according to Programming Board public relations executive Zakia Lghzaoui '13. While some peer institutions have had more success inviting major artists to campus each year, each university's ability to bring in performers varies based on venue options, location, budget and reputation. Members of Programming Board have decided not to host a winter concert because of the difficulties involved in securing an indoor venue with enough space for the entire student body, director Alex Martin '13 said. "Leverone is used year-round by various sports groups and as far as we've been told, it is hard to convince these teams to let us borrow the field for the two plus days it takes to get concerts of this scale set up," he said.

University of New Hampshire history professor Eliga Gould offered an alternative take on the American Revolution in a lecture Monday afternoon.
