Men's hockey opens season with tie and loss on the road

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 6, 1995

The men's hockey team opened its regular season this past weekend in disappointing fashion with a tie and a loss in two road games against the University of Illinois-Chicago Flames. The Big Green fought to a 3-3 tie at UIC Pavilion on Friday night, but came up on the short end of an 8-6 decision on Saturday night. None of the weekend results will affect the Big Green in the ECAC standings, since UIC plays in the CCHA, and is therefore a non-conference opponent. But the team had hoped to start the regular season on an up note, and Saturday night's 8-6 shootout is especially troubling, given the team's stated desire to play a more defensive brand of hockey. Dartmouth 3, UIC 3 Friday night's contest featured both strong special teams and strong goaltending from both squads. UIC jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Chuck Mindel beat goalie Scott Baker '97 with a powerplay tally 3:42 into the first period, but Brent Retter '97 pulled the Big Green even with a powerplay score of his own less than three minutes later. After the Big Green went on top 2-1, thanks to a goal from Bill Kelleher '96, it appeared Dartmouth would hold the lead until the end of the period. But the Flames caught the Big Green napping, and evened the game at 2-2 with just two seconds left in the first stanza. UIC scored the only goal of the second period, a powerplay goal by Al Dunbar about halfway through the period. The third period was also quiet, with only one goal scored, but fortunately for the Big Green, it was Kelleher's second tally of the game.

D'Souza, Masters spar on racism: Students flock to hear conservative commentator and professor

By Neeta Raghavan | November 6, 1995

Government Professor Roger Masters and conservative scholar Dinesh D'Souza '83 squared off in a debate last night on whether or not racism was still a big problem in America. Speaking before a standing-room only crowd in 105 Dartmouth Hall, Masters argued that racism was still a big problem in this country, especially what he called "covert racism." Defining racism as "anything which will harm members of a specific out-group on the grounds of their supposed innate or natural inferiority," Masters said, "racism is a recurring problem in human affairs, it will never end." D'Souza -- a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank in Washington, D.C., and the author of the recently released book "The End of Racism" -- contended that racism, although still a problem in America, was not the main reason behind unequal achievements of black Americans. Instead, D'Souza said "black culture" was the main reason for the inequality in American society and, even if racism was ended today, this inequality would still exist. In his 20-minute opening statement, Masters said, "We have to understand the problem of racism as a potential problem as more or less ubiquitous particularly in any complex society such as our own." He outlined three types of racism that exist in American society today-- overt, covert, and intellectual racism. Masters defined overt racism as conscious, explicit and emotionally committed hostility to "them." Masters said although the problem of overt racism has evolved, it still exists and D'Souza does not understand its new dynamics. Masters gave the example of the reaction to the O.J.

Big Green overwhelm Lions

By Eric Petitt | November 6, 1995

The Dartmouth football team made it five wins in a row this weekend with a wild 43-27 victory over the Columbia Lions in New York City. Dartmouth sandwiched two Columbia-owned second and third quarters between an overpowering first and fourth for the Big Green, with 17 and 20 unanswered points respectively in those two quarters. "It was an up and down game for both teams, and it just seemed like whoever made the most big plays was going to win," safety Lloyd Lee '98 said about the see-saw battle Saturday. Lee's big play in the fourth quarter, a crucial break-away touchdown punt return, ended up being the final blow that kept Columbia down for good. The win for Dartmouth lifted them into a three-way tie for third in the Ivy League, while Columbia, 3-2 in the Ivies and 3-4-1 overall, continued to slide from its former perch on top of the League earlier this season.The Big Green, now 3-2 in the Ivies and 6-2 overall, looked like they were going to run away with this one, jumping ahead 17-0 on their first three possessions in the game, but the Lions made things a bit more complicated, thanks to a three-touchdowns-in-four-minutes momentum stealing second quarter. But first things first.

"I adhere to the credo that it's my body and I can do what I want," she said.
