Wanted: More Than Lip-Service Leadership Phi Tau1s Annual Report BY WILLIAM D.

In accounting procedures, a new fiscal year mean auditing the financial a tivities of the past year, development of a budget for the coming year, and an o erall evaluation of where you go based on where you've been. The "New Year" also brings with it a time during which you put thoughts to paper o a to give all members of Phi Kappa Tau an opportunity to be aware of the acti ilie . a complishments, and direction of the Fraternity in the past ear.

    Asher M. Daniel ’17 Dartmouth College Oral History Program SpeakOut November 11, 2018 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [ELIZABETH A.] JANOWSKI: Hello. This is Elizabeth [A.] Janowski from the Dartmouth College Class of 2021. Today is November 11th, 2018, and the current time is 12:24 p.m. I’m here in Baker-Berry Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, speaking with Asher [M.] Daniel, a former Dartmouth College student from the fall of 2013 to the winter of 2018. Asher is speaking with me from his home in Chelsea, Oklahoma. The following interview is part of the Rauner [Special Collections] Library’s SpeakOut projects, an oral history project focused on recording the memories and experiences of Dartmouth’s LGBTQIA+ community. So, all right, Asher, I thought we could start at the very beginning, and let’s just talk about where home is to you. So where were you born, and where did you grow up? DANIEL: Well, I was born not too far from where I’m at right now. I was born in a small hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma, and then proceeded to grow up in the little town of Chelsea. I think it was, like, only 200 people here. Quite a little small town, where I lived until I left for school. Very small little community, very close knit. A little interesting. My family did not fit in the most, but we’re—my—none—none of my family—like some other families was from a small town. My mom was from California. My dad grew up in Arkansas.

    Sharang Biswas ’12 Dartmouth College Oral History Program Dartmouth Community and Dartmouth’s World May 12, 2013 WOMICK: So to get us started off, my name is Cally Womick, and I’m here with Sharang Biswas. We are in Collis, and today is Sunday, May 12th, 2013. So to get us started, why don’t you talk about where you grew up? BISWAS: So I was born in New Delhi, India, and I spent the first few years of my life there. Then there was a period where I moved back and forth from the United Arab Emirates and India, so I spent, like, a year in the UAE and then came back and then a year and came back. It’s actually very confusing. Then, when I was, like, 7-ish, we again move to the UAE and stayed there, so from 7 ‘til I came to Dartmouth, I was in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. WOMICK: Okay. What kind of schools did you attend? BISWAS: So in India, I attended a little bit of a—kind of an elite private school, G.D. Goenka Public School, so in India it used the British system, and a “public” school in that system is equivalent to a “private” school here, while I know in England a “government” school is what would be a “public” school here, so it’s called G.D. Goenka Public School, but it’s a private school. We had to wear, like, blazers. Like, I had a red blazer. I learned what the word “blazer” was.
