<p>"The following is the text of a letter mailed to 200 Indian tribal chiefs in 1984. Their reaction, and overwhelming support of the Indian symbol first appeared in TDR on October 3, 1984. Of the responding chiefs, 125 favored the Indian symbol, while only 11 were opposed to it. 15 chiefs had no opinion. Of the chiefs with no opinion, the majority were from western tribes, who preferred to defer to tribes from the Northeast. ..."</p>

<p>"The Dartmouth Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dartmouth Review is a conservative, independent, bi-weekly newspaper at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (U.S.). Founded in 1980 by disenchanted staffers from the college's daily newspaper —The Dartmouth— it spawned a movement of similar politically conservative independent newspapers on college campuses, and has been at the center of several lawsuits. Past staffers include author Dinesh D'Souza, talk show host Laura Ingraham, The Wall Street Journal's Hugo Restall, and The New Criterion's James Panero. As of 2006, it claims 10,000 off-campus subscribers and distributes a further 5,000 newspapers on campus.
The Review gained national attention early on for positions on social issues regarded as "politically incorrect" which its critics see as examples of racism, sexism, and intolerance. Among the newspaper's exploits:
The newspaper continues to refer to Dartmouth's sports teams as the "Indians", the traditional school mascot that was officially discarded in the early 1970s, pointing out that a Gallup poll of living Indian chiefs in fact supported keeping the Indian mascot.[1] " </p>
<p>"In 1986, its staffers took sledgehammers to shanties that had been erected on the campus quad as part of a campaign to protest apartheid by divesting Dartmouth from South Africa. The shanties were blocking the College's annual Winter Carnival and were considered by many to be eyesores; the town of Hanover had ordered the illegally-constructed structures torn down. When the College moved to remove them, 150 students blocked the workers; ten Review staffers attacked the shanties in a midnight raid and were later punished by the College."</p>
<p>Of course no action was taken by the town or the college against those whose ILLEGALLY built the shanties or those who ILLEGALLY prevented the removal of the shanties. </p>
<p>"Some claim the newspaper's influence with current students may be on the decline. A February 17, 2003 article in The Nation, penned by the founders of the liberal Free Press, quotes early Review editor-turned-national-pundit Dinesh D'Souza as saying that the Review's current "impact on campus is debatable" since the paper no longer dominates campus debate as it did during his editorship.
In 2006, the newspaper celebrated its twenty-fifth year of publication by releasing an anthology entitled The Dartmouth Review Pleads Innocent: Twenty-Five Years of Being Threatened, Impugned, Vandalized, Sued, Suspended, and Bitten at the Ivy League's Most Controversial Conservative Newspaper, in which William F. Buckley lauded the newspaper as "a vibrant, joyful provocative challenge to the regnant but brittle liberalism for which American colleges are renowned."[2]"</p>
