Before this gets too confusing, know that Dartmouth College has (at least) two student newspapers. The Dartmouth Review, a conservative student paper, recently published an issue whose cover featured a scantily clothed Native American holding a scalp, and the headline, “The Natives Are Getting Restless!” From Dartmouth’s other paper, The Dartmouth, comes this article about a rally in response to the offending cover. Several hundred faculty, staff, & students attended the rally, which was planned at an impromptu meeting of about 200 students (!!) on the evening the issue appeared. For those of you not familiar with Dartmouth, it might help to know the College was founded as a school for Native Peoples.
