Playing some of the most powerful teams in the East at the ITA Regionals in New Haven, the Dartmouth women's tennis team performed creditably. The team lost narrowly to No. 2 seed Boston College, 5-3, and No. 4 seed Yale, 5-4, on Friday before beating Seton Hall, 5-1, on Saturday. Allison Taff '00 led the way, winning all three of her singles matches and contributing strong doubles play with partner Rebecca Dirksen '00. In total the women played a grueling fifteen hours of tennis over the two days, eleven on Friday, according to Coach Chris Kerr. The Big Green will get a chance to avenge their loss to Boston College when they face them in Hanover this afternoon.

The Big Green rowers were unable to match the world-class performance produced by the winning crews of this year's Head of the Charles, held over the past weekend in Cambridge. The first two-day race in the 33- year history of the event saw Dartmouth finish in the middle of the pack for most races. A notable exception to this trend was the Heavyweight 8 crew, which was the last boat in the Championship 8 division. The women's championsip 8 finished 12th in their race. "With Dartmouth's stronger oarsmen in other crews or on off-terms, this crew was undergunned in this top-level event, but raced hard and had fun," heavyweight coach Scott Armstrong said.

Last fall, I had the dubious distinction of being elected Recycling Chair of my fraternity. It was basically one of those, "who's left to dump this position on? (snicker, snicker)" sorts of things. With this high honor went the duty of cleaning out recycling bins every week and sorting through the contents. Not exactly a job people fight for. But I like to think of myself as a somewhat environmentally conscious individual, so I took to my duties with some gusto, and have since made some observations of things I had seen before, but forgotten. It really boils down to this: You can set a recycling bin next to a trash can. You can give a short lecture and blitz on the use of the recycling bin, what goes in, etc. You can hang up a sign above the bin that tells people what to put in. The end result is there are three cans in the recycling box, and a trash can full of newspapers, plastic, and other recyclables.

How many times have you heard President Clinton justify a new public policy on the basis that it will help inner-city children and low-income minorities? Probably not as many times as you've heard Vice President Gore talk about the need to combat environmental injustices by punishing those industries that heartlessly expose politically powerless minorities and low-income families to toxic wastes.

Last weekend was my parent's wedding anniversary. I read somewhere that the gift for the first year anniversary is paper. Does that seem right, paper? So, you get married and you get a diamond ring, one year later all you're getting is a notebook? What's the six- month anniversary gift, Pez?

If Satan were to spend his time on earth, he would spend it among those who help let evil walk freely, who put their conscience aside and do whatever it takes to win. He would become a lawyer.

Julie Davis '90 was back at Dartmouth College this weekend for a showing of her film "I Love You, Don't Touch Me," and it was the perfect time for her to reflect on her existence as an artist. Davis arrived on campus late Thursday night, and she was in full conversational mode Friday afternoon during our brief interview at the Hanover Inn.

Five wins, no losses. Unbeaten in Ivy League play. After their 21-7 win at Yale on Saturday, the Big Green sit in much the same position as last year's squad did after five games. However, this team claims that they want their own reputation to stand on, that they don't want to be compared to last year's team. Fortunately for Dartmouth, the comparison to last year's perfect team rages only in the standings.

Like many Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents I recently attended the viewing of Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life and was instantly reminded of the controversy incited by this author's life and works. Perhaps most noteworthy for me was the painful reminder of Rand's view of the absolute and supreme value of human selfishness, citing it as the only true manifestation of human rights such as freedom and the embodiment of the most distinct human characteristics, namely logic and reason. However, while I do not wish this piece of writing to embody any sort of debate over Rand's hierarchical establishment of the individual far above the collective, I do wish to add a corollary to what I understand a central thesis of her philosophy to be.

While Wall Street continues its unprec-edented run, the bull market is leaving most Americans behind. Although news of the market's success contributes to a general perception that our economic health is strong, the vast majority of Americans own little or no stock and increasingly watch the American dream only on television.
