Men's soccer wins first game of season

|

A 2-1 victory over rival Yale gave the men's soccer team its first win of the season in their Ivy League opener Saturday night at Yale. Forward Hunter Paschall's '96 two goals gave the Big Green all they needed as they improved their record to 1-6 on the year, 1-0 in League play. After a scoreless first half, Paschall scored his first goal of the game as he shook loose from his defender at midfield and crossed the field, reversed his direction 18 yards from the goal and beat Yale goalie Adam Sullins. Paschall extended the Big Green's lead five minutes later on a penalty kick given to Dartmouth when a Yale defender knocked a Big Green shot away with his hands, preventing a sure goal.

Many seniors leave swim test, PE, to last minute

|

With less than nine months before graduation, about 15 percent of the Class of 1996 has not completed their physical education requirement. Even though 160 seniors have either not taken three terms of physical education or not passed a 50-yard untimed swim test, Associate Director of Physical Education Ken Jones said the number actually has been declining the past five years. The seniors will not be allowed to graduate unless they complete their requirements by the spring, Jones said. Brian Giunta '96 is one credit short of fulfilling his PE requirement.

Breeden attacks College's morals at farewell party

|

Departing Dean of the Tucker Foundation James Breeden attacked the moral values of the College's administration and blamed his departure on ethical differences between the College and the Tucker Foundation at a reception in his honor yesterday. About 40 people attended the reception in the Hanover Inn's Hayward Lounge. Breeden, an Episcopal minister and a longtime civil rights activist, announced his retirement as Dean of the Tucker Foundation at the end of March, effective at the end of August. In his address, he sharply criticized the administration for resisting the inclusion of spiritual values in the Dartmouth education. He said his responsibilities lay "not with the institution, but with what presides over it." Breeden said the dean of the Tucker Foundation is "the only administrative office where you can go against the Trustees without handing in your resignation first -- you hand it in later." He also said to have not spoken to College President James Freedman in nearly a year, and reported an angry conversation with Provost Lee Bollinger at about the same time he said he last spoke to Freedman. "I tried to talk to people about ... the fraternities and what exclusivity means, about administration confidentiality ... I'd like to think that's what the Dean of the Tucker Foundation is supposed to do," Breeden said. Breeden concluded his speech by comparing the administrators of Dartmouth to the violent youths of his hometown of Roxbury, Mass. "The kids have guns in Roxbury, the administrators at Dartmouth have equally dangerous tools," he said. In an interview with The Dartmouth shortly after the reception, Breeden attacked the College's position on divestment from companies that did business in South Africa in the mid-1980s. He accused the administration of "barely touching... and rarely consulting" Tucker Foundation resources during the divestment discussions.

Soccer team keeps Ivy title dreams alive

|

The women's soccer team will travel to New Haven this afternoon to take on Yale at 7:30 p.m. in the Big Green's second Ivy League game this season. Dartmouth, 4-1-1, had its first Ivy League win last weekend at Pennsylvania, and the Big Green will look to keep their Ivy record unblemished as they battle the Bulldogs. "Our goal this season is to win the Ivy League Championship," Jenna Kurowski '97 said. With a group of talented juniors led by leading scorer Kurowski, past All-American Melissa McBean and last year's All-Ivy co-Captain Holly Thomas, the chances for the Big Green to win the Ivy title look good. So far this season, the Big Green have struggled some, but still have managed to pull out the key games when necessary.

Misconceptions of the Status of Women in East Asian CountriesAbound

|

In1896, an unusually astute American misionary in Korea wrote of the typical Korean wife, "... her sway is as despotic as any absolute monarch on earth." This statement overstated the case, but it went a long way in illuminating the real role of women in Korea, as well as much of the Confucian East Asia. But a century later, misconceptions about the status of women in East Asian societies still abound.

Big Green ready for Cornell

|

This Saturday, the Dartmouth football team will open its home schedule against Cornell in hopes of setting the stage for a successful Ivy League season. Besides all the tradition basked in this 112th home opener to Dartmouth football, the contest between the Big Green and The Big Red will be crucial in setting the season's tone for these two teams. "Cornell is in a similar position to us in terms of their record,"Coach John Lyons said about the upcoming contest, in which both teams enter the grudge match 1-1 in the season and winless in the Ivy League. For Dartmouth, this momentum-setting game is that much more important when stacked up against its play in the past. Last year's 2-5 finish was the team's worst record since 1987, and the first time since the Ivy League of Football was born in 1956 that Dartmouth finish in last place [tied with Harvard]. For years, Dartmouth owned the Ivy's, compiling a total of 16 championship titles in the league's 39 year history, upping the ante for a Big Green resurgence. Dartmouth may also have a score to settle with Cornell, who robbed victory from the Big Green last year with a touchdown in the last 49 seconds to give Cornell the 17-14 win. Many of Cornell's weapons from that game return this year, including the top-rated rushing duo in the Ivy League, running backs Chad Levitt and Terry Smith. "I think first of all we have to do a good job up front, stopping their run game," Lyons said.

Safety and Security encourages students to use walking escorts

Dartmouth students who use Safety and Security's student-run driving escort service to escape the frigid cold are the targets of a new campaign publicizing walking escorts. Although the green cars and vans that canvas the campus throughout the day and night are often considered the best travel option for students heading home alone, Safety and Security will suggest that students who call for an escort use the walking escort program. "It started out as a walking program," College Proctor Bob McEwen said.
