Women's lacrosse team to play Princeton on television

By Josh Koenig | April 18, 2013

Jacob Weiss / The Dartmouth Staff Matched against Princeton University this Saturday in a nation- ally televised game, the Big Green women's lacrosse team hopes to rebound from two tough road losses last weekend with a resounding win. Despite dropping a close game to the University of Pennsylvania last Friday before losing a lopsided contest against the University of Mar yland two days later, the Big Green (8-5, 4-1 Ivy) can still lock up the second seed for Ivy League tournament play with solid per- formances against Princeton this weekend and Har vard University next Friday. "I think for us, it's definitely a must-win game just in terms of where we want to be placed in the Ivy tournament," co-captain Kelsey Johnson '13 said. While Penn (8-4, 6-0 Ivy) clinched both a share of the Ivy League title and the right to host the Ivy tournament with a close win over Princeton on Wednesday evening, the Big Green, currently third in the Ivy League standings, can still finish the season in second place with positive results against Princeton (8-5, 5-1 Ivy) on Saturday and Harvard (2-10, 1-4 Ivy) next weekend. If the Big Green wins either game, they will secure a spot in the tournament. "We came in as an inexperienced and young team, and I think we're peaking at the right time," co-cap- tain Hana Bowers '13 said.

No universal chin type is attractive, study finds

By Nancy Wu | April 17, 2013

A recent study on chins revealed that there is no universally preferred chin type. The study, published in the Public Library of Science on April 3 by Zaneta Thayer '08 and anthropology professor Seth Dobson, showed that indigenous Australian populations had the most distinctive chin shape pattern. The study throws into question a facet of the universal facial attractiveness hypothesis, which asserts that certain facial features are universally preferred because they are reliable signs of mate quality.
