The Big Green men’s basketball team went 1-1 in the last week of its two-week home stand, dropping to Princeton University on Friday 63-56 before avenging a loss to the University of Pennsylvania earlier this season with a victory of 67-62 on Saturday.
The men’s basketball team returned home to Leede Arena this past weekend for the first leg of a two-weekend Ivy League homestand. The Big Green (9-13, 2-6 Ivy) showed mixed results over the weekend, taking a heartbreaking loss in overtime to Cornell University (12-12, 4-4 Ivy) 81-72 before stifling Columbia University (11-11, 3-5 Ivy) in a 61-49 victory.
With only one carnival left before the NCAA Regional Championship, the ski team, ranked No. 5 in the SYNC ski coaches poll, continued its streak of second-place finishes at this past weekend’s Dartmouth Carnival. Despite competing in familiar territory as the host team, the Big Green finished with 841 points and once again fell short to the No. 4 ranked University of Vermont, who earned 926 points.
After suffering two defeats last weekend, the men’s basketball continued their streak of losses by falling to both Yale and Brown Universities this past weekend. Despite Miles Wright’s ’18 average of 20.5 points between the two games — 20 against Yale and 21 against Brown — the team now carries a four-game losing streak on the road.
Extending the undergraduate emphasis on an interdisciplinary education to graduate studies, Dartmouth’s Master of Liberal Arts Studies graduate program focuses on the liberal arts rather than pre-professional training. The approach attracts three types of students, MALS program chair Donald Pease said: educators, experienced professionals and recent college graduates desiring a broad range of skills before acquiring a PhD.
After putting themselves on the scoreboard with Amber Mixon’s ’18 layup only seconds into the game, the Dartmouth women’s basketball team led the Harvard Crimson for all but 1:01 of the remaining 40 minutes of action on Saturday night. However, a furious late-game comeback by the visitors would change all of that.
Hanover has been “battling the snow and ice” this winter, town manager Julia Griffin said, as rising road salt prices across the U.S. are adversely affecting Hanover and Dartmouth.
In the second weekend of the term, 10 Dartmouth teams are set to compete across the Northeast. After strong performances from the men’s and women’s track and field teams and the women’s hockey team last weekend, they return to action at home for big matchups on Saturday.
In a three-team swim meet last Saturday in Hanover, the swimming and diving program got off to a poor start to begin its Ivy League schedule. Swimming for the first time this season in its own Karl Michael Pool, the men’s team fell by scores of 216-84 to Yale University and 169-130 to University of Pennsylvania, while the women’s team lost 243-57 to Yale and 216-84 to Penn.
The Dartmouth men’s and women’s track and field teams ushered in 2015 with two dominant team victories at the 46th annual Dartmouth Relays on Sunday, Jan. 11 at the Leverone Field House. This marked the fifth straight Dartmouth Relays team victory for the women’s team, and the fourth straight team victory for the men at the home meet.
As Public Policy 85 students discussed Northern Ireland’s peace treaties of 1998 in Belfast’s parliamentary buildings, British Prime Minister David Cameron discussed an addendum to the very same treaties next door. This coincidence demonstrated the continued relevance of the class’s studies, program participant Nick Zehner ’15 said. Economics and public policy professor Charles Wheelan ’88 led a group of 12 students to Northern Ireland over the winter interim period to study public policy in action. This is the second such trip led by Wheelan, who brought his Public Policy 85 class to India following the fall 2013 term.
A 6-2 win against the University of New Hampshire on Sunday meant that the women’s hockey team scored a combined 10 goals in two consecutive games — an accomplishment it did not achieve all of last season.
Superheroes came out flying on Sunday, or so it appeared as over 3,500 people, many in colorful costumes, participated the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hero half marathon and Ripcord 5K. As of press time, the hospital had raised more than $697,000.
Dartmouth’s road trip to New York, which will continue Monday against Marist College, began in victory Saturday with a 1-0 triumph over Columbia University. Tasha Wilkins ’15 drove a free kick that muscled its way into the net to give Dartmouth the lead in the 19th minute, and the Big Green never let the lead slip away.
How much would you pay for a one-night stay in the Upper Valley? $67 or $400? What about for a saucepan? $20 or $180? Beyond the confines of campus, the realities of economic differences between Hanover and the Upper Valley become abundantly clear. The price of a trash can from Walmart versus one from Main Street Furniture differs drastically, illustrating just how isolated we truly are. The population of the main village of Hanover is 8,636, with a median household income of $84,969. Lebanon, meanwhile, has a population of 13,483 and a median household income of $53,650. We went to several town stores and compared the prices of everyday items to those of stores such as Walmart and the Dollar Store. Whenever possible we compared the exact same items and brands across these different locations. While we have not covered every single option, we aimed to provide a wide cross-section of prices for students to draw economic comparisons within Hanover and across the Upper Valley.
Last season when Dartmouth met the College of the Holy Cross on the gridiron in Hanover, the Crusaders drove 67 yards in the waning minutes of the game to kick a game-winning field goal. This year, with another opportunity for a demoralizing game-ending drive, a mature Dartmouth (4-1, 2-0 Ivy) defense halted Holy Cross (2-6) in its tracks.
With all of the passion, history and testosterone that come with the fraternity debate at Dartmouth, it’s hard to remain impartial and not be swept up in the issue’s politics and intricacies. Although for me, I suppose it’s a little easier not to generate too many opinions when I’m not actually allowed in.
It’s no secret that Dartmouth students don’t exactly flock to the bars in town when the weekend rolls around. While there have been somewhat-secret “hot spots” for upperclassmen (RIP 3 Guys Trivia Tuesdays), the largely underage student body remains pretty unaware of what lies just south of Wheelock Street. In order to unveil the mystery, two of the senior-iest Dartbeat writers were assigned to investigate. With “alcohol expert” Helen Pfeiffer ’16 in tow, we set out on Friday night with our work cut out for us. Hey, maybe this will become the new senior year circuit?
For decades, Dartmouth’s faculty have been invested in the wellness of their students, both inside and outside of the classroom — with the small community at the College, separating the two is almost impossible. A 32-question Mirror survey allowed faculty to reflect on the current state of the College, and the results reveal that discussions about major issues are far from finished.
Last Wednesday, Taylor Woolrich ’16 wrote a column for Fox News in which she discussed her experience being stalked, criticizing the College’s policy prohibiting firearms. The College does not allow the possession, manufacture, transfer, sale or use of weapons by any individual on College property or at College-sanctioned events.
