By Andy Schader | May 16, 1995

Abouta week ago I was listening to "A Call to the Bullpen," an all- baseball talk show on WDCR. One of the major issues that the three hosts were discussing was the fact that attendance at major league baseball games this season has been, shall we say, disappointing.

By Kevin Walsh | May 15, 1995

Playboy photographer's work is art-mediocre art

By Timothy Horrigan | May 15, 1995

To the Editor: I have no affiliation with the College, aside from living here in Hanover, working at an organization which occupies Dartmouth-owned real estate and knowing some people who are affiliated with the College (including some of the individuals who have taken it upon themselves to protect Hanover from the scourge of nude photography.) Therefore, I have no reason to care if Dartmouth's reputation would be besmirched by having a few of its students disrobe for Playboy's cameras. I have been following the controversy in the pages of The Dartmouth for a variety of reasons, the most important of these being that this whole business is a nice break from our community's usual stuffiness.

Heavyweight crew defeats Syracuse

By Charles Davant | May 15, 1995

The heavyweight crew team drubbed Syracuse in a controversial race through rough waters yesterday morning. Referees afterwards called for a rerace, saying the choppy water in Syracuse's lane was not replicated in Dartmouth's lane, contributing to Dartmouth's six-second victory over the 1,500 meter course. But the coaches decided to let the original decision stand. "The referee was a complete idiot," Dartmouth Coach Scott Armstrong said. Armstrong speculated one reason Syracuse did not pursue a rerace was because it had failed in its obligation to produce a fair course. Because of unrowable conditions, Syracuse had shifted from the Onondaga River to a different, shorter section of water. "Hell, it is their race course.

Anti-Playboy protest should focus efforts on male consumers

By Cate Avoes | May 15, 1995

To the Editor: I would like to respond to the column in The Dartmouth ("Playboy Models Will Represent Dartmouth," May 11, 1995) which outlined the ignominy that we, as noble Dartmouth students, should feel on behalf of the morally corrupt harlots who pose naked for Playboy. Now, I myself do not find Playboy's pictures appealing.

Linda Fowler looks forward to starting her new job on July 1

By Rini Ghosh | May 12, 1995

Linda Fowler, the new director of the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences, seems to fit right into the Dartmouth community: her husband went to Dartmouth, her son goes to Dartmouth and she loves the outdoors. Fowler, who was in Hanover visiting the College on Wednesday and Thursday, said in an interview with The Dartmouth that she has specific plans she hopes to implement at the College, but said she will wait until July to outline a more detailed proposal. "One of the things I need to do first is to figure out what needs the students and faculty have in terms of teaching and research that the [Rockefeller] Center could be addressing," she said. Fowler said she will meet with the Rockefeller Student Council and members of the faculty of the social sciences to hear their ideas when she officially takes over on July 1.

D-Plan creates unique problems, benefits for College athletes

By Erika Tower | May 12, 1995

The Dartmouth-Plan gives students opportunities they might not otherwise have by allowing them to take off-terms during the academic year and to spend a summer term on campus. But for athletes, especially the two- or three-season athletes, whose athletic schedules conflict with programs they otherwise might take advantage of, the D-Plan can be a hindrance. "There is a definite emphasis on year-round training and many of our seasons overlap anyway," Director of Athletics Dick Jaeger said.
