Title IX amendment more lenient on athletic parity

By Jennifer Yu | July 14, 2005

On March 17, 2005, the Department of Education announced a new guideline for collegiate compliance with Title IX in a letter that was quietly sent to educational institutions in the United States. This "letter of clarification" stated that, "a college or university could be deemed in compliance with Title IX if a survey is e-mailed to current students to determine if their interests and abilities are being met." A non-response is considered a lack of interest. The last provision has riled many in the world of female athletics, including Josie Harper, director of Dartmouth Athletics and Recreation.

Birdie Kim sinks 30-footer to capture Women's U.S. Open

By Ben Zimmerman | June 28, 2005

History was in the making at last week's U.S. Open. Everyone knew it. Annika Sorenstam, who had already collected the first two majors of the year, would most likely dominate the field in similar fashion, coming one step closer to the ever-elusive Grand Slam. If that didn't work out, golf enthusiasts could always fall back on the army of ultra-talented teenage amateurs, each looking to become the youngest champion in the Open's 52-year existence. Either way, the little town of Cherry Hills, Colo., was guaranteed a Sunday afternoon to remember. And then, in truly spectacular fashion, a golfer named Birdie Kim ruined it all. Manufacturing a little history of her own, Kim lived up to her name and holed an improbable 30-foot bunker shot on the 18th hole to win the 2005 U.S.

By Kate Mulley | May 24, 2005

Dartmouth's baseball team celebrated its successes last Wednesday evening, as Jeff Speights '05 and Will Bashelor '07 each garnered two Dartmouth baseball awards. Speights, who led the team with 14 doubles and 33 RBIs this year, won the Teammate of the Year award and the James Henry Cooke award, which is given to the member of the squad who has done the most for the Big Green. Speights drove in 133 runs during his four years at Dartmouth, tying him for third on the team's all-time list. The graduating superstar picked up an All-Ivy honorable mention this season, as well.

Lady laxers end record-breaking season at Final Four

By Grace Crandall | May 23, 2005

Dartmouth women's lacrosse ended its record-breaking season Friday after an 8-4 loss to No. 1 ranked Northwestern (20-0) in the NCAA semifinal round at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium at the U.S Naval Academy. The trip to Annapolis, Md., marked Dartmouth's first Final Four appearance since 1998 and its third in history. Though head coach Amy Patton fell short of notching her 150th career win, she could not help but praise her players. "This is probably one of the greatest teams I've ever coached at Dartmouth," Patton said.
