Women's rugby club ramshackles Army by 50 points

By Cristina Duncan Evans | May 4, 2005

The Dartmouth women's rugby club took on Army this weekend for the second time this season. The last time the two teams met, during the first weekend of the spring season, it was an intense match-up and the sequel was more of the same. However, after some aggressive play from both squads, the Dartmouth squad emerged victorious by a whopping 50 points. Army's forwards controlled play in the first minutes of game, but soon the DWRC adjusted and began committing more forwards to contact.

Hanover maintains ties to sister towns

By Dan Duray | May 2, 2005

While a large city like New York has sister metropolises such as Cairo and London, the "Welcome to Hanover" sign displays two inconspicuous flags in reverence of its little-known sister, or "twin," towns of Joigny, France, and Nihonmatsu, Japan. Hanover developed relations with its sister cities in the 1990s for the purpose of fostering cultural exchange, and spends $2,000 per city each year to maintain friendly contacts. "It's been a rich relationship for the town of Hanover," Town Manager Julia Griffin said, "and by rich I mean culturally rich." Hanover and Joigny were joined in a "twining ceremony" in 1993, largely due to a close relationship formed by the Hanover-Joigny Exchange Program, which was established in 1990 by local residents to promote student travel between the cities.
