Dartmouth gained attention this month when its pro-divestment shantytown was torn down first by students against divestment and later by the college. Following Dartmouth's lead, shantytowns have sprung up at Stanford and Brandeis Universities.
Brandeis
Students at Brandeis last week constructed a 50-foot-long shanty. Since that time, activists have taken turns staying in the shanty throughout the day and night, said senior Eric D. London, associate editor of The Justice, the Brandeis student newspaper. A fire provides the only heat, London said.
Brandeis students also conducted a non-binding divestment referendum showing 84 percent of respondents in favor of divestment, London said. He said the administration is not planning to remove the shanty but will not commit to total divestment despite overwhelming student support for it.
Then there's the recent field goal shooting ups and downs of freshman guard Gielen. The Bowie, Md. native shot 4-for-6 against Brandeis right after exam period and 3-for-4 at Duke, only to fall to 1-for-7 in the following game against Yale.
