Women's soccer hopes for 1993 all over again

By Amy Hatch | September 22, 1994

After winning the Ivy League Championship last season and reaching the NCAA tournament, it looks like the women's soccer team has little room for improvement. But the Big Green still hope to put the past behind them and start fresh with the 1994 season. Last year the women's soccer team had a wildly successful season -- finishing 12-3-1 overall and 7-0-0 in the Ivy Leagues.

DOC trips launch action, adventure and wild rides

By Maggie Fritz | September 22, 1994

Every year freshmen and their leaders return from Dartmouth Outing Club Trips with tales that seem to be repeated year after year - ranging from the trip that hiked 50 miles in the dark with nothing but cous-cous to the trip that was raided 15 times and slept in a cabin with not only showers but also hot water. This year's trips featured many similar adventures, from the memorable to the forgettable. One trip ran into trouble trying to start a fire.

Dorm vending to offer condoms

By Rebecca Siegel | September 21, 1994

Students will soon find condoms next to their candy and chips in dormitory vending machines in an effort to increase condom availability, Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said. The College implemented this plan because of discussions with student representatives from Responsible AIDS Education at Dartmouth and the Student Assembly. "In the past few years a number of student groups have come to deans and administrators and asked that the College place condoms in residence halls for wider distribution," Turco said. "RAID made their case to the Student Assembly and the Student Assembly endorsed the wider distribution of condoms on campus and essentially petitioned for this," she said. RAID's roadshows, which are informational skits performed in College dorms, spread information about the importance of condoms in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Hitting the books

By Amy Semet | September 21, 1994

Freshman Orientation Week concluded last night in a packed Leede Arena with a lecture by English professor William Cook on the "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass." The Committee on the First-Year Experience and the orientation subcommittee revived the idea of a freshman lecture and reading for the Class of 1998. The College offered the freshman lecture a few years ago, but discontinued it because some faculty members did not feel prepared to give the book an adequate representation, according to Dean of Freshmen Peter Goldsmith. But this year administrators felt the freshman lecture would make orientation more academic. "The freshman lecture is an experience that '98s can share when they convene," Goldsmith said.

Upperclasses barely affected by new ORC

By Jack Vaitayanonta | September 21, 1994

Despite the sweeping changes of the new curriculum and the distributive requirements beginning with the Class of 1998, the new course listings in the September 1994 Organizations, Regulations and Courses book will have little or no impact on the listings for upperclassmen. The College is essentially operating under two curriculum structures right now -- the new curriculum for freshmen and the old one for all other classes. But earlier fears of operating under overlapping structures would cause great confusion so far appear to be unfounded. Course descriptions listed in the ORC are followed by codes that tell how each course fulfills the different set of distributive requirements established for the new curriculum.

Welcomed by Dartmouth's wild side

Big Green fall to Colgate

By Scott Anthony | September 20, 1994

If the Dartmouth football team was trailing by four points with less than five minutes to go and Jay Fiedler '94 was leading the team down the field, it was almost assumed that Dartmouth would end up on the right side of a fourth-quarter comeback. But Fiedler has made the big step up to the National Football League, and two late drives led by new quarterback Ren Riley '96 came up short, as Dartmouth (0-1 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) fell 20-16 to Colgate University in soggy Hamilton, N.Y. The game looked like it was over when, with eight minutes left, Brian White '95 fumbled a punt, giving Colgate the ball on the Dartmouth 12-yard line. But with Colgate driving for a clinching touchdown, Tim Cross '96 came up with a fumble, giving the Big Green the ball on their own seven. Riley then led the team on an efficient 90-plus-yard drive -- a 27-yard completion to David Shearer '95 left the Big Green just two yards away from the go-ahead touchdown. On fourth and goal from the three, Riley started running the option, but slipped on the wet field, giving Colgate the ball back.
