By Greg Berger | November 2, 2009

Watching the freshmen run around the bonfire at Dartmouth Night this year, Janine Avner '80, now four months into her tenure as Alumni Council president, said she was reminded of her own experiences in 1976 as a new student at the College a period that she describes as "a different time at Dartmouth," given the relatively small number of women and minority students.

Basketball teams warm up for winter: Men's basketball

By Jonathan Gault | November 1, 2009

Entering the 2009-2010 season, the Dartmouth men's basketball team faces a challenge in replacing star forward Alex Barnett '09, who averaged 19.4 points per game last season to lead the Ivy League. "It's going to take multiple guys, if not everybody from the team, to step up and improve a lot of things from last year," guard Marlon Sanders '09 said. Barnett led the team in points, rebounds and assists last season, and was named the 2009 Ivy League Player of the Year and was an honorable mention on the All-America team. The Big Green finished 9-19 (7-7 Ivy) last season, tied for fourth in the Ivy League The team's 7-7 record in conference play was its best since head coach Terry Dunn's first season in 2004-2005.

Schwieger '12 out for the season

November 1, 2009

AKIKAZU ONDA / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth football team followed up last week's win over Columbia with a 42-21 loss to Harvard yesterday in Cambridge, Mass. Nick Schwieger '12, who rushed for 242 yards against Columbia, left the game early in the second quarter with a broken hand after just 10 carries for 18 yards. Schwieger is out for the season and "may require surgery," co-captain Pete Pidermann '10 said in an interview with The Dartmouth on Sunday. With the victory, Harvard (5-2, 4-0 Ivy) maintained its perfect Ivy League record, while the Big Green (1-6, 1-3 Ivy) still sits in a four-way te at the bottom of the league's standings. Wide receiver Tanner Scott '11 racked up seven receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown, but the Crimson's offense was too strong for Dartmouth to handle. Although the Big Green's defense struggled, Scott said that the offense did not contribute enough either. "We didn't help out our defense enough on offense, and we couldn't sustain a drive until the end of the second quarter," he said.
