Dartmouth Review’s Apology Not Quite Comprehensive
The editors of the Dartmouth Review may have said they're sorry (sort of) yesterday. But if editor-in-chief Dan Linsalata '07 is really interested in burying the hatche--er, smoothing things over, he might want to see about changing the poorly chosen advertisements that are still up on the paper's official site. (That one on the right actually doesn't rotate in with the others; we're not sure why.)

But I thought vintage was in. Just ask your sponsor, Ivysport.

The Review makes and sells all of those. I don’t think the ads are going anywhere.
The shirts are pretty prevalent around campus… at least with the frat crowd.

These country-time review jokers give less than two sh*ts about crazy or well behaved injuns! And did the native possee members actually think that dartmouth was NOT a bastion of ivy league racism!? do your homework before you APPLY to be on the plantation…

eh, as an 08, i would have never called dartmouth a bastion of racism in my freshmen year. sure, there were awkward moments, but it wasn’t like the wtf we see now. from my viewpoint anyway
plus, i’ll be damned if a bastion of racism prevented me from going to the college of my choice. although i’m excited to be away, dartmouth does have awesome opportunities and i don’t regret my choice…somewhat…

Like WTF is the big deal here?! Dartmouth was fucking FOUNDED with the original purpose of providing for the Christianization, instruction, and education of “Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land…and also of English Youth and any others.” Samson Occom, a Native American minister was the key fundraisers for the college. Largely due to this heritage, I’m pretty sure of any race in the world, the Native American stands the best chances of admission at Dartmouth on Affirmative Action grounds. And people expect issues relating to Native Americans to be treated as at any other college? I still maintain that all the Native American mascotry, t-shirt branding, etc is more easily explained by the pride of students in Dartmouth’s unique history and Native American heritage than racism. The real issue at hand should be how well today’s Native American students have integrated into the social fabric of the college — a concern relating to any minority group — rather than petty wrangling over symbols and mascots.
