Men's basketball misses opportunity

By Kevin Demoff | February 19, 1996

There is little doubt that without help from either Brown or Yale, a 1-1 split on the weekend's New York road trip to Cornell and Columbia would have all but eliminated the Big Green's hopes for an Ivy League title and their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 1959. So, after losing a 61-57 overtime battle at Cornell on Friday night, the only thing Dartmouth could do was turn to the scoreboard and hope for an unlikely victory.

Big Green split weekend games

By Jeffrey Beyer | February 19, 1996

The Dartmouth men's hockey team came tantalizingly close to a two-game sweep this past weekend, which would have put the squad in prime playoff position -- but instead the Big Green had to settle for a split, which in the end left them no better off than they were before the games were played. On Friday night at Thompson Arena, Dartmouth notched a convincing 3-1 victory over the RPI Engineers, and on Saturday night it looked as if the Big Green were well on their way to at least a tie with the Union Skating Dutchmen, before a late goal propelled Union to a 3-2 victory. A win for the Big Green on Saturday night would have given them 11 points and left the squad all alone in ninth place, just one point behind RPI for eighth in the ECAC -- with the chance for a home game in the opening round of the playoffs. But instead, the split leaves the Big Green (4-13-1 ECAC, 5-18-2 overall) in a three-way tie with Union and Princeton for ninth place in the ECAC, all three teams with nine points. Yale sits in the ECAC cellar, though the Bulldogs are just one point behind the pack, with eight points.

Radio covers N.H. Primary

By Jeffrey Giuffrida | February 16, 1996

It's not everyday that a Dartmouth student witnesses a near-brawl at a rally for presidential candidate Pat Buchanan -- but a member of the Dartmouth Election Network did. The student-operated Dartmouth Election Network, which is broadcast by the College's two radio stations, transmits primary coverage to dozens of radio stations across the country. "It's an interesting way to kill a Friday afternoon," said Kate Buhrmaster '97, the Election Network reporter who covered the Buchanan rally. She said there was "nearly a brawl" between Christian activists supporting Buchanan and a Jewish man, who questioned Buchanan's support for school prayer. Buhrmaster said she also covered GOP Candidate Bob Dole's Dartmouth visit in addition to New Hampshire appearances by President Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Dole for the Election Network. Broadcast by WDCR and WFRD, the Election Network has covered campaign events across the state for months. "We're the only station, period, that has 200 people on its election night staff," said Election Network Executive Producer Sabrina Serrantino '95.

Board of Trustees to meet this weekend

By Karen Rose | February 16, 1996

The College's Board of Trustees will meet with College President James Freedman, officers of the College, students and faculty at its annual Winter term meeting, which begins today. "This is the traditional meeting at which tuition rates are set," College Spokesman Roland Adams said. The Trustees will also examine the proposals from the Committee on the First-Year Experience -- the Dartmouth Experience proposal. Dean of the College Lee Pelton said, "I am asking [the Trustees] to approve the project, the funding and the funding source for the project." On May 5, the Committee on the First-Year Experience, which Pelton created and chaired to examine the first-year experience at the College, recommended the creation of a mixed-class residency cluster. The cluster would include a faculty associate, additional dining and social facilities and an increased programming budget, according to the report. If the Trustees approve the proposal, construction of the residence halls will begin in the fall of 1996, Pelton said. The meetings will run throughout today and conclude on Saturday with a breakfast with students.
