Dartmouth
College: Main St.
The first issue
of Main St. appeared last month featuring a slew of news briefs, a
look at Asian-American student life at Dartmouth, an interview with
director Ang Lee ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), and more. Recognizing
an underrepresentation of the Asian community at Dartmouth
College, juniors Shirley Lin and Jeanette Park took up the mission
to put forth this publication that focuses on the issues that pervade
the immediate as well as greater Asian American community.
What is Main St.?
Main St. is
Dartmouth’s Asian-American news and opinion quarterly. This publication
will serve as a common forum for dialogue and expression within the
Asian-American community. We also seek to inform the Dartmouth community
as a whole about Asian-American issues and encourage scholarship on
Asian-American issues.
Why is it
titled Main St.?
Main
St. is a play on the ubiquitous Main Streets of American communities
and the increasing presence of Asian-Americans in the United States.
What
does Main St. cover?
Main
St. hasthree main sections: 1) News, which
will cover campus, nation, and global developments; 2) Opinion, in which
students, faculty, and alumni address cross-cultural issues; 3) Features,
which will include personal essays, academic papers, and interviews
with prominent campus figures. Neither academic journal nor magazine,
Main St. is a unique animal, ultimately emphasizing quality and
informative writing.
Who
can submit to Main St.?
Main
St. welcomes submissions from all groups.
The publication serves the entire campus and honors
manuscripts regardless of the race, ethnicity, or creed of the contributor
insofar as they pertain to Asian-American or minority issues. Undergraduates,
graduate students, alumni, faculty, and administrators are all welcome
to contribute. Contributions may come in the form of opinion pieces,
personal essays and papers. We also welcome photographers and artists
throughout the term.
