Men's hockey defeats Cornell

By Mitch Yashiro | January 25, 2000

Freshman standout goaltender Nick Boucher turned aside 30 shots and Mike Maturo '02 scored the game-winning goal for the Dartmouth men's hockey team as the Big Green edged Cornell, 3-2, in Ithaca, NY. In its first weekend without its traveling partner University of Vermont, who terminated the rest of the season with a hazing scandal, Dartmouth came back with a win after losing to Colgate on Saturday. With Monday's 3-2 victory, the Big Green improved its season record to 5-8-4 (4-3-3 ECAC), while the Big Red dropped to 7-8-1 (4-5). After Cornell took a 1-0 lead in the first period, Pete Summerfelt '03 tied the game for Dartmouth on a pass from Jaime Herrington '02. Senior defenseman Ryan Burkart netted the tie-breaking goal at 8:08 in the third frame as his shot deflected off a Cornell player into the net. Nine minutes later, Maturo capped the Green's scoring on Herrington's second assist of the evening. Boucher entered the game ranked fourth among the ECAC netminders with a 2.11 goals-against-average (GAA), while posting a sensational .934 save percentage. He was ranked 14th in the NCAA Division I in the GAA category. Cornell goaltender Matt Underhill had 18 saves in the contest.

Bush's 'Science' is a confusing mix

By Abraham Mahshie | January 25, 2000

It seems that three years and an Irish sabbatical couldn't provide the spark of creativity to push lead singer Gavin Rossdale's "The Science of Things" to "Sixteen Stone" caliber. With label disputes and a long break between albums, it's a surprise Bush has a fraction of the fan support they once had.

Stopping Time

By Abbye Meyer | January 25, 2000

A few days ago, a friend of mine said he'd stop time just to watch TV. Granted, it sounded pretty stupid, but as I had just spent the day running around, dealing with too many classes and trying to fit in too many unnecessary activities, I knew exactly what he meant. Don't we all wish for stupid things like extra time to watch TV?

McCain returns to speak at College

By Omer Ismail | January 25, 2000

As the Iowa GOP caucus results were announced placing him in fifth place, Republican candidate John McCain made his fifth appearance at Dartmouth College last night -- a reflection of his high-risk strategy of not campaigning in Iowa and concentrating all efforts on the New Hampshire primary. Confident that his loss in Iowa will not substantially affect his position in N.H.

College leads Ivies in female profs

By Ritika Nandkeolyar | January 25, 2000

While the College was the last Ivy League school to admit women into its student body and was nationally perceived as a male-dominated institution for many years after, today Dartmouth is a leader in its inclusion of women in its faculty. According to Dean of the Faculty Ed Berger, currently approximately 35 percent of the 344 tenure and tenure-track faculty in arts and sciences at the College are female, while 31.5 percent of the 254 tenured faculty are women. The average of a group of 14 selective colleges including all the Ivy League schools is 17 percent tenured, 22 percent tenure and tenure-track, Berger said. Faculty are hired either as visiting professors on a one-year contract or regular faculty.

Participants discuss housing in third 'chat'

By Jeremy Skog | January 25, 2000

Students expressed concerns with proposed freshmen-only housing last night at the third of the continuing series of "Fireside Chats" last night in Collis Commonground. Dean of the College James Larimore began the evening suggesting that the conversation for the night should center around residential life and the issue of housing segregated by class year quickly arose. Some seniors said that they were often distracted by the freshmen on their hall and proposed that upperclass students have a choice on whether they wish to live with freshmen or not. Others disagreed, saying that when they were freshmen they appreciated being able to go to upperclass students for advice. One person mentioned that living off-campus also affected interaction with new students, saying that students often give up the beneficial opportunity to meet new students when do not live in College residence halls. Students also expressed many different views on the role of Undergraduate Advisors. Some expressed the concern that sophomore UGAs did not have the knowledge to accurately advise first-year students, though others responded that quality was more dependent on the individual. Many agreed that if UGAs were offered better compensation the College would find more individuals willing to take on the job, and some suggested that offering more pay or free room and board would increase the number of applicants for the position. One graduate commented that senior-only housing may force people away from the community and that people should feel responsible for the quality of their community. Opinions on the proposed cluster system varied as well.

Residential life takes center stage

By Rachel Osterman | January 24, 2000

When President of the College James Wright announced the Trustee Initiative on social and residential life last winter, most community members focused not on a promise for a revamped residential system, but on his pledge to fundamentally change the nature of Greek life. But with the steering committee's recent recommendations for major changes to the College's current cluster system, renewed attention has been drawn to Dartmouth's residential life arrangements. Though student opinion remains varied about the proposals to create freshman-only housing units and residential clusters similar to East Wheelock, the concept of fundamental residential change is now, more than ever, a viable option. In a broader context, this is not surprising.

Q-Tip mixes old, new sound in 'Amplified'

By Michael Lovett | January 24, 2000

Q-Tip is cooler than you. He's way cooler than me. But this goes without saying when considering the slick emcee whose main act, A Tribe Called Quest, is arguably the most respected hip-hop group of the last decade. Before I listened to Q-Tip's new Arista release, "Amplified," I had already heard a lot about it -- "Q-Tip sells out his Tribe." "Q-Tip goes Gangsta." "Q-Tip falls flat." But as the (also very cool) Dude says in "The Big Lebowski," "That's just like, your opinion, man." I say "Amplified," the debut solo release from the savvy Tribe rapper, flows like only Q-Tip can.

Tennessee (13-3) at Jacksonville (14-2) Tennessee's defense is for real. Titans coach Jeff Fisher has a great defensive system which attacks instead of reacting to opposing offenses. Don't underestimate the Titans.
