Runners prepare for NCAA championships

By Matthew Holmwood | March 8, 1995

Three members of the Dartmouth track and field team will spend this weekend competing for All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships. Distance runners Sam Wilbur '94, Ted FitzPatrick '95 and Maribel Sanchez '96 met the NCAA qualifying times during the season and will compete against the nation's best runners. Sanchez and FitzPatrick will run in the 5,000 meters, where they are currently ranked eighth and 12th in the nation. Women's Coach Sandra Ford-Centonze said she hopes Sanchez "competes the way she is capable." Ford-Centonze said Sanchez has "a legitimate shot at being an All-American." Sanchez did not run last weekend, instead preparing for the championships. Men's Coach Barry Harwick said FitzPatrick also has an excellent chance of becoming an All-America. But Dartmouth's best shot at an individual title rests with the legs of Wilbur, who will run the 3,000 meters. "Sam will be one of the of the favorites in the that event," Harwick said.

Assembly on the right track

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | March 8, 1995

The Student Assembly should be congratulated for the job it has done this term. The Assembly has made tangible efforts to help students, and more importantly, it has stopped most of its internal bickering. At the beginning of Winter term, the Assembly was in shambles, as the second elected president in two years had resigned. Then-president Danielle Moore '95 quit at the end of Fall term.

Roller-coaster season grinds to a halt for men's hockey team

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 8, 1995

The men's hockey team hoped the 1994-95 campaign would be a model of consistency, with discipline and hard work leading to a string of victories and resulting in a playoff berth. But instead, the Big Green embarked on a roller coaster ride that saw the team both struggle and shine, and when the final games of the regular season were over, the squad had narrowly missed the playoffs. The Big Green finished the season in 11th place in the 12-team ECAC with 16 points while compiling a 7-11-2 ECAC record and a 9-16-2 overall mark. Coach Roger Demment said the 11th-place finish was frustrating, because the team knew it was better than an 11th-place, non-playoff team. The season started out with a flurry, as the squad came back from a 4-1 deficit to Boston College to score four unanswered goals and take a stunning 5-4 victory in the season opener.

Linguistics major approved

By Jack Vaitayanonta | March 8, 1995

Last week the Committee on Instruction approved a proposal to allow students to major in linguistics, according to Committee on Instruction Chair Gary Johnson. Russian Professor Barry Scherr, the chair of the linguistics and cognitive science program, said the move was in response to the increased number of students who wished to major in linguistics and the high enrollment in the program's introductory courses. Scherr said during the program's early years, there were only one or two students wishing to major in linguistics, compared to about 6 juniors this year. He said there was an enrollment of about 60 students in introductory linguistics this year. Scherr said the program's next step is "to get more courses, and round out the major." Previously, students wishing to major in linguistics had to apply for it as a special major. Scherr said allowing students to major in linguistics cuts out much of the administrative paperwork and red tape required to apply for a special major.

College may create new administrative positions

By Aran Toshav | March 8, 1995

Dartmouth Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Organization co-Chair Earl Plante '94 said yesterday that the College is tentatively planning to hire two part-time administrators to advise minority groups on campus. Although Plante said the specific details have not yet been worked out, he said one administrator would advise the gay, lesbian and bisexual community and one would advise the Latino community. But Dean of the College Lee Pelton, who said he ultimately would make the decision whether to hire an administrator, refused to comment on specific details on any potential positions last night. "The College will provide the appropriate support for the gay, lesbian and bisexual community, but to say specifics at this point would be getting out in front of the person who makes the decision," Pelton said. But Pelton added, "Philosophically, as we look at the needs of the diverse groups [on campus], we will look at our existing sources to provide support." Pelton said he has brought up many ideas to address the needs of the Latino and homosexual communities, but he said "the conversations I had in staff meetings were not supposed to be for public consumption." Plante said he is pleased with the progress.
