With fourth-place finish, sailors cruise to Nationals

By Jon Kling | May 10, 2005

The Big Green dynasty that is the Dartmouth sailing team once again stood up to snuff and defended its name this weekend against 18 other teams in the 64th annual New England Dingy Championships. The sailors pulled together a last minute rally through 25 knot winds and rain to grab fourth place overall and the last qualifying spot to Nationals by just a single point. As you may have noticed, the weather this weekend was not what most of us would call pleasant.

By Rebekah Rombom | May 9, 2005

For the past 13 days, Princeton University has become the center of national political controversy, as a group of students have staged a filibuster of sorts outside the university's Frist student center. The students, faculty and other supporters are protesting against the proposal of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to invoke the so-called nuclear option, which would prevent members of the Senate from using the filibuster to block the President's judicial nominees.

By Matthew Abbott | May 9, 2005

Princess Layout heads to Nationals

By Matthew Mackey | May 9, 2005

Dartmouth's ultimate teams had a full schedule the last weekend of April, with the men's and women's A-teams playing at regionals in Portsmouth, R.I., and the B-teams playing at Williams College. The women displayed a dominant level of skill at regionals, defeating Brown 15-5 in the finals to secure the top seed from the region to College Nationals, and the men came excruciatingly close to securing a Nationals bid in a 15-14 nail-biter against Harvard. The women, who came to Regionals uncertain of their standing vis--vis some of the other top teams in the region, left with a strong confidence in their abilities, after thrashing the competition on both days. Their strength was epitomized by their Sunday game against Brown, as Princess Layout -- the women's A-team -- shut down Brown's offense and shredded its zone defense in what was widely regarded as Dartmouth's best performance of the season. The team's finals win was spearheaded by stellar defensive efforts from co-captain Lorraine Ferron '05 and Lakshmi Narayan '06, rock-solid handling from co-captain Brooking Gatewood '05 and a seemingly perpetual deep threat from Ariel Dowling '05.
