By Apoorva Dixit | May 4, 2014

By Gayne Kalustian | May 4, 2014

In the rain and against the odds, the Dartmouth baseball team brought home its seventh straight Red Rolfe Division title by crushing the Yale University Bulldogs 11-4 in a one-game playoff Sunday afternoon at Biondi Park. The team, rising from the hole it dug itself by opening the season with a 5-9 Ivy League record, ended on an eight-game winning streak, which it will take to Columbia University (25-17, 15-5 Ivy) next weekend for the Ivy League Championship Series.

Rec League Legends

This week the Legends were ready to take on the men’s lacrosse team, a competition that I had been trash talking the entire year. Lacrosse is the only sport I ever played competitively, and I looked forward to matching up against the Big Green’s best. I was also looking forward to seeing Austin get out on the lacrosse field and seeing what he would do with a six foot pole in his hands.

I sat down with Kelsey Miller ’16, the starting third baseman for the softball team, to chat before the team’s big weekend. Miller helped keep the team’s hopes alive with a walk-off home run against Harvard University on April 27 in game two of the home doubleheader. In this weekend’s Ivy League Championship Series she scored two runs in the Big Green’s 2-1 series win over the University of Pennsylvania.

Law Day examines war on terror

By Rebecca Rowland | May 1, 2014

The war on terror is not a physical battleground but an idea, Georgetown University Law Center professor David Cole said at a Thursday lecture marking the College’s celebration of Law Day. Famed for his defense in Texas v. Johnson (1989), which declared the federal law against flag-burning unconstitutional, Cole discussed President Barack Obama’s ability to end the war.

May 1, 2014

Despite the 2011 repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t” tell, which prohibited gay men and lesbians from openly serving in the armed services, current U.S. military policy allows for the dismissal of transgender service members. The Defense Department, however, is increasingly facing pressure to revoke the policy, the Washington Post reported last week. As Pride Week comes to a close, The Dartmouth chatted with women’s and gender studies professor Michael Bronski about the issue and possibilities for reform.

What Do Tuckies Do For Fun?

By Maddie Brown | May 1, 2014

When I lived in the River cluster my freshman year, I would capture little glimpses of the Tuck students’ social scene: I saw crazy costumes during Winter Carnival, volleyball matches in front of the Tuck dorms and people, dressed to the nines, walking to Murphy’s.
