Track impresses at Yale meet

Both the men's and women's track and field represented Dartmouth well on Sunday at Yale. The men totaled 87 1/2 points in defeating Yale and Columbia, and the women placed second in the tri-meet hosted by Yale. The men's track and field team won nine individual events in this preparatory meet for the Heptagonal Championship that will take place in late February. Matt Colman '01 won the 800 meters with a time of 1:56.23 while Chris Lanese '04 finished first in the mile with a time of 4:17:01. "Coach Harwick wanted us to compete in this meet to get a feeling of what it's like to go head-to-head against other Ivy teams before Heps," Lanese said.

The Political Ballgame

|

On Saturday, George W. Bush was inaugurated as the 43rd President of the United States. Bush's election to the White House represents the pinnacle of a career that began in the oil fields of West Texas, included a failed run for Congress in the late 1970s, and most impressively a stint as governor of Texas for the last six years. Oh yeah, Bush was also a part owner and managing partner in the Texas Rangers baseball franchise.
