Golf: Possibly a healthy alternative to class

|

As someone for whom going to class this term can best be described as a secondary activity, I've decided I should invest the mental energy normally directed to my primary reason for being at Dartmouth into what has overtaken academics in importance -- golf. I've been playing more than is healthy, seriously.

Formula racing team performs well at national event

|

The Dartmouth Formula Racing Team returned to Hanover earlier this week with an impressive 18th-place finish in the annual international Formula SAE competition. The race car is designed and built entirely by Dartmouth and Thayer School students, who handcraft almost everything in the car, including frame, suspension and bodywork. The competition is held at the Pontiac Silverdome outside of Detroit, and is sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the big three automotive companies: Ford Motor Company, General Motors and the DaimlerChrylser Corporation. This year was the 23rd annual running of the event and saw the largest and most competitive field to date.

McVeigh '03 breaks into the pro soccer ranks with the Charge

|

Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles profiling former Dartmouth sports stars currently playing professionally. One might expect that after being the seventh player drafted in the 2003 Women's United Soccer Association Draft, Mary McVeigh '03 spent her winter term anticipating the excitement of her professional debut with the Philadelphia Charge. However, despite her status as a first-round draft pick, McVeigh seemed just as ready to return to Hanover for her senior spring to finish up her Dartmouth coursework as she was to embark on a professional soccer career. Now, though, as the spring term winds down in Hanover, McVeigh's rookie season with the Charge is in full swing.

Ausmus '91 produces Gold Gloves and success for Astros

|

Brad Ausmus '91 admits that his Houston Astros teammates like to joke about where he went to college and "make fun of the prototypical Ivy League student that you see in the movies: smoking a pipe, wearing a sweater vest." It is difficult, however, to hold a pipe while wearing a Gold Glove, and the former Dartmouth government major has one for each hand. For the last two years, Ausmus has won the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, becoming the first catcher in Houston history to receive the honor, and establishing his reputation as one of baseball's elite catchers.
