Dead Wrong on Rhetoric

By Ryan Clark | April 25, 2005

To the Editor: I was disappointed to see that Professor Jim Kuypers decided to resign his position last week, likely ending the study of speech and rhetoric at Dartmouth ("Speech prof resigns, blasts faculty deans," April 22). His classes were well taught and well-received by students.

Apocalypse Now

By Julia Bernstein | April 22, 2005

I have a new guilty pleasure. With dialogue worse than "The O.C." and plots more incredible than "Joan of Arcadia," NBC's miniseries "Revelations" is not to be believed.

Prospies weigh College's cost in decision

By Linzi Sheldon | April 22, 2005

Many prospective students have more on their minds besides evaluating classes or sneaking into fraternity basements -- gifted middle-class students must weigh whether attending a top-tier college like Dartmouth is worth the loans their parents will be taking out for that name brand to adorn their sweatshirts and eventually their college diplomas. High school seniors begin the financial aid process by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form, from which they receive estimated family contribution numbers.

Albright addresses lasting threat of nuclear proliferation

By Jacques Herbert | April 22, 2005

With memories of the invasion of Iraq and its supposed weapons of mass destruction still fresh in Americans' minds, President of the Institute for Science and International Security David Albright came to Dartmouth on Thursday afternoon to discuss how Americans must confront other threats of nuclear proliferation with a post-Iraq mentality. In introducing Albright, Director of the John Sloan Dickey Center Kenneth Yalowitz, cited Albright's personal experience in dealing with nuclear proliferation as the former ambassador to Georgia from 1998 to 2001. "Every day we were getting reports of missing materials -- things that could be used in dirty bombs," Yalowitz said.

Big Green declaws Catamounts

By Kate Mulley | April 21, 2005

The Dartmouth baseball team has certainly been surprising fans and opponents throughout the 2005 season with its uncharacteristically streaky play. Tuesday's doubleheader against Vermont proved no different, as the Big Green rebounded from a disappointing weekend against Brown with a sweep of the Catamounts. A walk-off three run homer by John Huelskamp '06 gave Dartmouth a 12-10 edge in the first game, while Chase Carpenter '08 pitched the Big Green to an 8-0 victory in the nightcap. In the game one, Vermont took the lead with two earned runs in the first inning, but Will Bashelor '07 quickly answered, driving in a run to cut the Catamount lead in half. Two errors later, Josh Bailey '05 stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and crushed a base-clearing double to the right giving Dartmouth the 4-2 lead. Countering Dartmouth's offensive prowess, Jason Carey of Vermont hit a grand slam in the second inning, shifting the lead back to Vermont. Dartmouth's attempts to rally were shut down by double plays in the second, third and fourth innings, and Vermont extended its lead to 9-4 by the fifth. However, in the bottom half of the inning, Dartmouth woke up. Bashelor drove in another run as he doubled in Jason Blydell '08, and moments later, the Big Green drew within three behind a third Catamount error. Bailey got another big hit with a two-run double; Marty Hebert '05 advanced Bailey to third with an infield single; and Brian Zurhellen '05 hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game 9-9. Vermont took back the 10-9 lead in the sixth, and Dartmouth, again, allowed a double play to end a potential rally. But, a strong inning from closer Nick Peay '05 gave Dartmouth the chance to come back in the bottom of the seventh. Bailey walked and reached third base when Hebert's potential game-ending double play grounder turned into a one hopper that snagged second base before bouncing into center field. Though Vermont retired Zurhellen, Hebert managed to advance into scoring position, and with two down, Huelskamp sent his first hit since March 20 into the trees past left field. Feeding off of the opening game's dramatic conclusion, Carpenter shut down the Catamounts with six innings of scoreless work before handing the ball to Michael Madson '05, who completed the shutout. Dartmouth didn't get onto the board until the bottom of the second when Hebert drove Jeff Speights '05 in with a single, and Zurhellen scored on an error. While this was all Carpenter would need for the win, the offense powered its way to five runs in the third inning on a two-run double by Bashelor and a three-run home by Zurhellen. Damon Wright '08 hit a solo home run in the fourth to finalize the score at 8-0. Zurhellen went 2-for-2, scoring twice and driving in three.
