By Stefanie Lazow | January 12, 2009

College admissions season can be a stressful time for high school juniors and seniors, and that often goes doubly so for prospective athletes, who are trying to get noticed and recruited by the best program that will take them. A popular misconception of the athletic recruitment process in the Ivy League is that academic standards are sacrificed to promote the success of athletic programs.

Women's basketball triumphs over Harvard in 59-55 victory

By Tianchi Xu | January 12, 2009

Andy Foust / The Dartmouth Staff In a heated matchup of old rivals, the Dartmouth women's basketball team edged out top Ivy contender Harvard on Saturday, securing its first league victory of the season, 59-55. Leading by three with less than 30 seconds left in the second half, the Big Green (4-9, 1-0 Ivy) missed two sets of free throws down the stretch, giving Harvard (8-7, 1-0 Ivy) a final chance to tie and force overtime. The ensuing Crimson possession, however, was abruptly cut short by senior guard Koren Schram '09, who tipped a Crimson pass into the hands of teammate Darcy Rose '09, smothering any comeback opportunities. "As our first Ivy game, this was a huge win for us," Rose said.

Puppeteer Sanko brings sinister marionettes to the Hop

January 12, 2009

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff While many marionette shows call to mind the innocent, Bavarian "The Lonely Goatherd" scene from "The Sound of Music," "The Fortune Teller" -- a puppet show which played at the Hopkins Center on Friday and Saturday -- expelled this notion from the minds of its audience with its sinister overtones. According to the show's director, Erik Sanko, the view that marionettes can only be used to tell upbeat stories kept him a closet puppetmaker for many years. "It wasn't very punk rock to tell your friends that you made dolls," he explained. Sanko, along with his theater company, The Phantom Limb, used the rare medium of puppetry to preach against the seven deadly sins while astounding audiences with an exhaustively detailed set in "The Fortune Teller." A demonstration Saturday afternoon gave audience members a chance to peek behind the scenes at the technically impressive production.
