To-do list for Dartmouth College Greek organizations:

Here are some tasks you can do:


    • Did Delta Tau Delta have a major fire in the first half of 20th century? Confirm/cite.
      • Yes, per Dartmo: [1] Dylan (talk) 20:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Research the 1931 events that led to a protest of 1,500 Dartmouth students at the Hanover city hall - something to do with taxes on fraternity houses.
    • Find a reference for the Tri-Kap vs. Klan lawsuit/dispute. We cannot really leave it with "according to legend", can we?
    • In 1934-35ish, there was some sort of inquiry/review of the fraternity system (not entirely unlike the SLI of the 1990s) - need more data.
    • More info on the connection between fraternities and Winter Carnival, esp. in the 1930s. Fraternities were the main source of housing for as many as 1500 college women visiting the campus.


    [edit] Table of contents

    I realized just now that the TOC is manually written. I can obviously see why -- a generated one would be enormous -- but is there any way to tweak a generated one to appear in this way? I discovered this when I realized that the "See also" section that does actually exist wasn't reflected in the TOC. Obviously, the result is that changes in section headers are not going to be reflected, and someone will need to constantly stay on top of its maintenance. Is there any happy solution possible here?

    I don't know of a better solution, myself. I created the manual TOC because of just the problem you mention - the automatically generated one was enormous.--Kharker 01:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
