The Dartmouth men's and women's basketball teams have both experienced early season woes in non-Ivy competition as the women have dropped to 1-7 and the men to 2-7 on the season.
For the Big Green women, the sophomore class shined as Abbey Schmitt '15 had a double-double and Kamala Thompson '15 recorded a game-high and career-best 17 points in the win. Schmitt's 11 points and game-high 14 rebounds came during a game that was her collegiate debut, since she missed her freshman season due to an injury.
The freshmen, as we've learned from countless interviews, are mostly confused but refreshingly eager. They have no idea what to expect, but they're game for anything. Hopefully this issue will help them out.
While the Big Green did not overcome a double-digit fourth quarter deficit, Dartmouth did stage a comeback of its own, as a touchdown from Columbia running back Marcorus Garrett gave the Lions a 16-14 lead with 2:46 to play. Quarterback Alex Park '14 and the Big Green offense got the ball at the Dartmouth nine-yard line down 16-14, and while the Big Green only needed a field goal for the win, the team still needed a significant drive to get into range for an attempt. After an incomplete pass on first down, Park began a streak of four consecutive completions to Ryan McManus '15 that was only broken by his own 13-yard run. McManus displayed his athleticism on several of the catches, including a 31-yard reception in which McManus streaked down the right sideline and fought off a defender to catch the ball.
The Tar Heels (14-1, 3-0 ACC) immediately proved to be too potent offensively for the Big Green, as they scored four goals in the first half. The Big Green had not trailed in a game prior to this loss since the 60th minute of its win against Brown University on Sept. 22.
Plans for establishing a new sorority on campus have been tabled, even though Panhellenic Council was previously considering adding a new house, according to Panhell President Sarah Wildes '13. Sorority presidents hold different opinions on whether a new sorority would benefit campus life and whether it should be a national or local sorority, Wildes said.
Of the 413 women who registered for the formal sorority recruitment process, 280 received bids on Wednesday, according to Jane Cai '13, Panhellenic Council vice president of recruitment. The majority of the 133 women who registered but did not receive bids dropped out of the process voluntarily, according to Cai.

Teach for America founder and CEO Wendy Kopp's success in transforming an idea she had as an undergraduate student into a prominent non-profit organization make her an strong choice for the Class of 2012 Commencement speaker, students and professors interviewed by The Dartmouth said. Teach for America's popularity at the College has grown in recent years due to students' increased awareness of education inequality in the United States, according to Co-Director of Career Services Monica Wilson.
The middle of the Big Green lineup produced clutch hits throughout the weekend. Clean-up batter Dustin Selzer '14 hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th inning during the second game on Friday to lead the Big Green to a 5-4 win. Selzer then added a game-winning, two-run home run in Saturday's first game, giving Dartmouth a 2-0 victory. Jeff Keller '14, hitting fifth in the lineup behind Selzer, raised his season average to .393, thanks in part to a home run in the series finale to propel the Big Green offense to victory.
A simple love for math and a long-standing career in mathematics and logic including undergraduate research with former College President John Kemeny and the discovery of a new mathematical computing theory have led to lifetime achievements for Ronald Fagin '67, who won the annual W. Wallace McDowell Award on March 26.
The Dartmouth men's and women's golf teams both competed in two-day tournaments to capitalize on the temperate spring weather this past weekend. Coincidently, both teams finished sixth out of 14 teams in their respective competitions.
"It was a beautiful day for victory," Brett Gilson '13 said. "Every time I turned around, someone on our team was winning something. It was a very proud feeling because a lot of our Dartmouth peers came out and watched us crush the events."
The Dartmouth men's tennis team defeated Cornell University on Sunday, 4-3, to salvage a split on its weekend road trip after falling to Columbia University, 5-2, on Saturday.

The Dartmouth men's and women's track and field teams traveled across the Northeast over the weekend to compete in several meets before the start of the spring season.

Christine Hull Paxson, a Princeton economist and dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, was named Brown University's 19th president on Friday, the Associated Press reported. The search process began last September when Ruth Simmons announced her imminent resignation, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. Paxson will replace Simmons on July 1 and called the opportunity to join the Brown community a "privilege," according to the AP. Paxson's hire marks the first time since 1970 that Brown has not chosen someone who previously served as a university president or provost, according to The Chronicle. Her research focuses on the link between health and socioeconomic status in developed and developing nations, according to the AP.
