Title IX opens door for women athletes

|

All the ingredients seem to be there: 23 years of coeducation at Dartmouth, a federal government mandate and an equal number of varsity sports for men and women. But possessing all the ingredients does not guarantee the final product will be successful.

The women's swim team has finished its most successful season ever.

At Easterns, Dartmouth scored 341 points to earn sixth place -- Princeton finished first with 635 points. "I am extremely happy with how our team did the entire season, and I believe the team will have even more success next season," Captain Cory Murphy '95 said.

Housing Plan Is Unfair

|

In theory, the Office of Residential Life's new housing plan is a good one. It makes sense for seniors, who have been at the College the longest time, to have the best housing on campus, followed by juniors and then sophomores. But, given that the Dartmouth Plan makes it impossible to predict the numbers of students on campus in any given term and that for the past three years there have not been enough beds on campus fall term to meet the demand, the new housing policy is unfair. The new system unjustly punishes sophomores, who are likely to be on campus in the Fall term and who do not have the advantage of Summer term to look for housing. If recent trends continue, there is a good chance there will be a waiting list this fall for on-campus housing.

After notching victories in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters, and joining teammates in Dartmouth's 4x800 second place finish, Sam Wilbur '94 was named the Outstanding Male Performer at the Heptagonal Championships last weekend at Cornell. His award highlights a slew of strong performances from the Dartmouth teams, concentrated in the distance events that have been the strong point for both the men's and women's indoor track teams this season. With the aid of Ted Fitzpatrick '95 and Aaron Bouplon '95, Wilbur ran up 46 of Dartmouth's 96 points.
