Individuals shine, team falters

By Austin Zalkin | January 17, 2001

Despite dropping two more Ivy League games over the weekend, several Dartmouth men's basketball players showed improvement that could bode well for the remainder of the season. Ian McGinnis '01, the team co-captain and starting center who led the nation in rebounding at over 12 per game in 1998, pulled down 10 rebounds Friday night against Brown and 15 on Saturday versus Yale.

Dartmouth not alone in housing shortage

By Kelly Cameron | January 17, 2001

Do you ever wonder if Dartmouth is the only college facing a housing crunch every year? While some schools do not have a housing problem at all, Dartmouth, along with some other comparable schools, is making plans to increase residential space over the next few years to accommodate not only current students but additional students as well. In the meantime, these colleges have to come up with alternative solutions for their respective housing crunches. Currently, Dartmouth only guarantees housing to first-year and exchange students.

W. hockey builds up steam

By Rebecca J. Aledort | January 17, 2001

Midway through the season, the Dartmouth women's hockey team is ranked number-one in the nation. With four solid lines, three talented goalies, two straight wins, and only one loss so far, this is not a team to take lightly. Success this season has been thanks to a combination of factors.

Ambition drives Provost to resign after two years

By Julia Levy | January 16, 2001

Provost Susan Prager announced that she will leave the College July 1, 2001 after only two years serving as Dartmouth's provost -- second only in administrative rank to College President James Wright. Although Prager's tenure at Dartmouth seems brief, it is not atypically so. Both Wright, who served one year as provost before becoming College president in 1998, and his predecessor, Lee Bollinger, who was provost for two years before leaving to become president of the University of Michigan, worked in similar time frames. When Prager talked last night with The Dartmouth, she emphasized that her decision to leave the College was not motivated by a bad experience here.

ACC Back in the Saddle

By Adam Small | January 16, 2001

Duke, North Carolina, Maryland, Wake Forest, Virginia. These schools have been amongst the most consistent, and the best teams in college basketball in the last dozen years or so, and they're all in the same conference. Yet the ACC has been in a down period the last few years.

Hockey's turnaround complete

By Kevin Allen | January 16, 2001

With Dartmouth picking up its first four point weekend of the season with a pair of wins over Colgate and Cornell this weekend, it appears that the Big Green have finally found their stride. Although the Big Green has shown flashes of brilliance at various points of the season, they had been generally unable to use that talent for six straight periods. Dartmouth's recent success should come as no surprise to anyone that's been following the team, as the Big Green started playing markedly better since their 6-0 loss to the Princeton Tigers on November 18th. Despite a modest record of 7-7-1 overall and 4-3-1 in ECAC play, the Big Green are 6-2-1 since being shutout by Princeton. What's been the big difference between Dartmouth's first seven games and their last nine?

Squash takes it on the chin at Cornell

By Sam Stein | January 16, 2001

During the course of a season a team is destined to hit its ups and downs. Today the Dartmouth men's squash team can only hope that the downs are behind them. Coming off an embarrassing 9-0 loss to Williams College, the Big Green traveled to Ithaca, N.Y.

Afr. Americans have early roots at College

By Mike A. Hamilton | January 15, 2001

As the College this week acknowledges the contributions of Martin Luther King Jr., his legacy necessitates a look back at the history of African-Americans at Dartmouth -- a history both longer and more circuitous than might be expected. The first African-American affiliated with the College was Caleb Watt, who served as founder Eleazar Wheelock's manservant, according to Director of Alumni Relations Nelson Armstrong '71. Despite a charter which prohibits discrimination, there were no African-American graduates until Edward Mitchell in 1824, 55 years after the College's founding. Yet when forces of social change touched the United States, Dartmouth too was affected and undertook serious measures to diversify its campus. According to history professor and College historian Jere Daniell '55, the first thrust toward making diversity a priority on campus was the civil rights movement of the late 1960s.

Testa's Indignation

To the Editor: Retching bent over see-through bags already draped in skeins of vomit, toking then chugging, then toking while chugging, staggering over row upon row of foam-topped fermented barley mouthwash brimmed for the bob splash of an incoming pong ball--I've been there, done that, seen that done ad nauseum.
