Kawakahi Amina / The Dartmouth Staff An Emily Tracy '07 goal in the 39th minute of play was enough to lift Dartmouth women's soccer to the top of the Ivy League as the Big Green (6-3-1, 2-0 Ivy) rolled over Princeton (4-4-1, 0-2 Ivy) 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Lourie-Love Field. "Beating Princeton was a huge win for us because it gets us one step closer to our goal of the Ivy championship," Tracy said.

Fundraising campaign hits halfway point

|

The Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, a projected seven-year-long comprehensive capital campaign, has reached the halfway point of its $1.3 billion goal, having raised $744.2 million to date. The goals of the Campaign are to "strengthen Dartmouth across academic disciplines, make critically needed improvements in residential and campus life, and preserve Dartmouth's preeminence in providing the finest student experience in the world," according to Campaign publications. The capital campaign is divided into four strategic imperatives aimed at revamping the college: academic enterprise, residential and campus life, financial aid and annual giving. According to Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience co-chair Brad Evans '98 and Vice President of Development Carolyn Pelzel, the campaign is on track and has reached the point where it hoped it would be at this time. "I think we're right on track right where we expected and hoped to be at this stage of the campaign.

Fukuyama criticizes Bush policies in Filene

|

Internationally renowned foreign policy scholar Francis Fukuyama lectured on America's presence in Iraq and criticized key facets of President George Bush's current policy such as unilateralism, preventative war and Middle East democratization on Thursday night to a large audience in Filene Auditorium. As the first speaker in the Dickey Center for International Understanding's Great Issues series on conflict prevention, Fukuyama, who broke ranks with the Bush administration as late as 2004, commented wryly, "If you want to prevent conflicts, you should probably not start unnecessary wars." While the neo-conservative in Fukuyama still emphasized the moral purpose that hard power could sometimes serve, he stated that the development of democracy overseas could not remain America's foremost goal in the region. "There were false expectations as to the nature of democracy itself," he said. According to Fukuyama, these expectations may have been influenced by the swift collapse of communism in 1989 in Eastern Europe. He speculated that political veterans of the Warsaw Pact collapse, such as Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley, and Paul Wolfowitz may have expected the same immediate change to occur in Iraq. According to Fukuyama, those in favor of the war saw democracy as a kind of default that newly-freed states would revert to. There were American misconceptions that "once the wicked witch was dead," he said, "the munchkins would rise up and start singing joyously about their liberation." While a clear component of American foreign policy has been instituting democracies abroad, its previous policies of ambitious social engineering could not be applied to current international conditions, especially in the Middle East, he said. "The first lesson is, the United States does not bring democracy," he said.
