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.

Bush administration creates Title IX 'loophole'

By Phil Salinger | May 23, 2005

This March, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights added to Title IX, the 1972 law aimed to provide women and men equal opportunities to participate in collegiate varsity sports, what many are calling a loophole for those schools who already do not want to add female sports teams. This "clarification" to the law gives schools the ability to not add female sports teams if inadequate female interest in sports is expressed in campus-wide internet surveys. Since the inception of Title IX, schools that receive government funding could satisfy the requirements of the law in any one of three ways, called prongs: The school must make the number and quality of athletic opportunities for men and women proportionate to the relative enrollment of men or women. The school must demonstrate continued progress toward achieving prong one. The school must show that the underrepresented group, in most cases women, has insufficient interest in sports to justify the addition of more female sports teams. Before this adjustment, surveys, especially internet surveys, were not allowed as a sufficient measure to demonstrate girls' disinterest in athletics.

'Fight Night' draws over 900 fans

By Jennifer Yu | May 23, 2005

The oft-maligned and controversial sport of boxing has been making headlines as of late. In the world of reality television, Sugar Ray Leonard and Sylvester Stallone's "The Contender" and Oscer de la Hoya's "The Next Great Champ" have been grabbing ratings, and in Washington, D.C., the Senate has recently approved the development of a United States Boxing Commission, designed to strip boxing moguls such as Don King of the power that they so recklessly wield. But boxing may be closer to home than what many Dartmouth students think. Last Saturday, five Dartmouth fighters took to the ring in front of a wild crowd of 900 Big Green fans for eagerly anticipated "Fight Night 2005." The event, sponsored by the Programming Board, sought to raise funds for the College's very own Dartmouth Boxing Club. The only female Dartmouth fighter to compete on Friday, Kendri Cesar '08, defeated her opponent by decision. Simon Trabelsi '08 won by technical knockout after he severely blooded his opponents, and the referee decided to stop the fight. "Trabelsi and Kendri dominated their fights, showing greater skill and toughness than their opponents," Phil Klay '05 said. Hernan Ortiz '05 had a slightly tougher time than his fellow classmates, taking on an opponent who preferred to grab rather than box.
