Wednesday, November 29, 2006Official Response from North DakotaBelow is North Dakota Governor John Hoeven's (Dartmouth '79) official response to Josie Harper's astounding apology for the University of North Dakota's participation in next month's hockey tournament."Unfortunately, Ms. Harper takes her position with no knowledge of how the University of North Dakota has approached the logo issue. UND has handled the matter with consideration and respect for Native Americans, and the university is a leader in Native American Programs." Posted by Daniel F. Linsalata at 10:34 AM Comments My question for Dartmouth is would you allow a team from Wisconsin-Madison to play at your school? They have kicked Campus Crusade for Christ off of their campus (as has Wisconsin-Superior) stictly because they are a Christian organization. Posted by It is utterly preposterous for an administrator at a college in New Hampshire to comment on Indian affairs. Is there actually an Indian left who is really a permanent resident of New Hampshire? We have honored our Indian citizens by naming over half of the States after them. North Dakota is one of them, unlike New Hampshire which was named after some God forsaken county in England! My goodness, even your New England neighbors in Connecticut managed to round up enough guys to form a board of directors for a casino! But you people are like the denizens of Delaware, who have plenty of Du Ponts, but no Delawares. Perhaps Ms. Harper would find our campus in Tucson more congenial. Adobe and red tile, palm trees and real Cowboys and Indians! Also a really bad football team, but on Saturday afternoons she could visit Tombstone to watch a shoot-out at the OK Coral! Its 85F today. The water is great! Sound good? Call now! Posted by The sad fact is that I wish I had not sent in this year's donation to the college. I am astounded by our AD's letter; what the heck is she thinking about? Posted by Post a Comment (we enforce our comments policy) |
