Student group fights hunger, the status quo

|

A Dartmouth student-run gleaning program that prepared 1350 meals for local needy families is trying to change the way local non-profits and Dartmouth volunteer programs fight hunger in the Upper Valley. The program began with a seemingly simple concept: take the food that farmers don't harvest for commercial purposes, gather it with student volunteers, cook it into nutritious meals and donate it to local food shelves where it would be available for local families. In the Upper Valley and other rural areas, hunger usually is not an issue of whether people get enough calories in their diet, but whether that diet is nutritious and healthy.

Swim Team: Men top Brown, UVM, Navy

|

"We have been unable to stay competitive in swimming, and believe that success could not be attained without a significant infusion of new resources." The College released this comment in a press release almost a year ago to the day in order to justify the abrupt cancellation of the Dartmouth Aquatics programs. This past weekend, the Dartmouth men's swimming team showed that it is not only alive and well, but a bold player among its Ivy League peers this season. Perhaps it's poetic justice, but during its only home stand of this season, the men's swimming team entered uncharted positive territory, defeating both Brown and Navy on Saturday. Double-dual meets, like the meet held on Saturday, have been scheduled at Dartmouth since the early 1980s. However, this weekend marked the first time in school history that the Big Green men swept both opponents in an Eastern Intercollegiate Swim League meet. It was also the first time since 1996 that the Dartmouth men can claim two EISL victories in a season. According to swimmer Chris Mudd '06, Brown and Navy underestimated their Dartmouth competition. "Last year, they both beat us pretty badly," Mudd said.
