By Alix Peabody | January 29, 2009

Courtesy of Mark Washburn Brian Scullin '09, punter for the Dartmouth football team, never thought that his football career would extend beyond his years at Dartmouth.

Athletes and fraternities: Who's where, and why?

By Jack Barrett | January 26, 2009

Editor's Note: This is the first in a two-part series examining the relationship between varsity sports teams and Greek organizations at Dartmouth. As winter rush concludes, and fraternities around campus take stock of their newest members, the presence of members of different sports teams in a fraternity remains one of the factors that influences student perception of Greek organizations at the College. There is a notion at Dartmouth that members of certain teams are required to be a part of the organizations with which their teams are most-often associated.

The Ivy League remains the only conference in the country that has not instituted a conference tournament.

Toe to Toe: Knapp vs. Rose (Knapp)

By Michael Knapp | January 26, 2009

There are plenty of issues in the Ivy League worth debating, from the lack of student-athlete scholarships, to the seven-week rest period rule, to the fact that our football champion does not have the ability to play for the FCS national championship.

Women's basketball beats Bryant

By Tianchi Xu | January 26, 2009

The Dartmouth women's basketball team won its third consecutive game on the road, rallying past Bryant University 71-56 Saturday afternoon. The Big Green's come-from-behind victory was marked by a strong second half, as Dartmouth (6-9, 1-0 Ivy) outscored and out-rebounded the Bulldogs (5-12, 0-0 NEC) by double-digit margins after the intermission. Brittany Smith '11 led all players with a career-high 24 points and nine rebounds, while teammate Koren Schram '09 tallied six rebounds and four steals to cap off a solid defensive showing for the Big Green. Bryant's Lindsay Hudspethcame off the bench and led her team with 18 points. Teammate Kelsey O'Keefe contributed 16 points and 14 boards, posting her sixth double-double of the season. After an 11-day break, Dartmouth looked to bolster its confidence with another win on the road before the start of two key league matchups later in the month. "Being on a winning streak definitely gives us some confidence heading into the rest of Ivy play, but everyone plays their best against us so we have to be ready for anything," Darcy Rose '09 said. The Big Green, however, was mostly quiet in the first half.

Athletes discuss impeding budget cuts at SAAC meeting

By Manisha Apte | January 21, 2009

Athletes from various Big Green teams gathered on Monday to offer their opinions on what programs and policies of the athletic department can see reduction as part of the College's planned budget cuts, in a discussion sponsored by the Student Athletic Advisory Committee. Many student-athletes in attendance agreed that, since varsity teams already have distinctly different funding levels, it will be difficult to administer a uniform cut across all athletic programs. The athletic department plans to implement a permanent 15 percent budget cut, which will contribute to the total $40 million College-wide cut, according to Budget Committee member and former varsity tennis player Jennifer Murray '09. Those attending the panel found it difficult, however, to agree on comparable athletic funds that could be cut for every athletic program, due to each team's varied dependence on different areas of funding. "We will definitely look at each sport differently, depending on the status of the team and the type of sport," Murray said. She added that it would be unfair to take performance ratings into consideration when making cuts. Under the current athletic budget, some teams rely more heavily on outside sources of funding than others.
