Water polo concludes season

By Richard Petty | November 1, 1995

The Dartmouth Water Polo Club went into the Eastern Water Polo Association Championships at Williams with high hopes of playing in the finals and qualify for the National Championships at Buffalo next weekend. Unfortunately, the Big Green realized neither goal after a hard fought weekend. "We had very high expectations going into this season after our strong finish at the National Club Championships last year," Jamie Keenan '96 said. In the end, Dartmouth just lacked needed experience to pull through with the win. "The weakness of the teams in our league leaves us unprepared for the tougher competition we face in post-season.

Freshmen crew races

By Brian Fleming | October 31, 1995

The men's freshman crew team made a sterling debut in its first action of the season on Sunday during a 14 boat regatta held on the Connecticut River. The heavyweights placed two boats in the top five, finishing second and fourth, and the lightweights also rowed well earning sixth overall , which was first among the lightweight boats. The strong rowing of the Big Green was surpassed only by UNH, who's top boat won by a comfortable margin of nearly 25 seconds. Regardless, the Big Green freshman kicked off their collegiate careers in impressive fashion. "Our times have improved tremendously over the past two weeks," Tom Reynolds '99 said.

By Amy Hatch | October 30, 1995

For the second weekend in a row, the women's soccer team had to reschedule Saturday games to Sunday because of rain, and unfortunately, for the Big Green, for the second week in row, they had similar results. Dartmouth, who lost to Cornell last weekend 3-1 on a rescheduled Sunday game, came up short again yesterday as the Big Green fell to Harvard 3-2. Despite the day wait, the women came out strong in the first half, competing strongly with the Crimson who are currently in first place of the Ivy League.

Harvard Weekend holds long tradition

By Eric Petitt | October 27, 1995

After basking in the traditions and celebration of Dartmout Night and Homecoming Weekend last week, the men and women of Dartmouth find themselves in the midst of another age-old historical landmark, Harvard Weekend. If you ask students today what Harvard Weekend is, what it 'means' to them, one all encompassing answer always seems to eventually crop up. "It's a day off," Kyle Teamey '98 said. For others, however, and especially for Dartmouth alumni, this weekend is one of the biggest of the year. "It was a massive exodus," explained Dartmouth's athletic director, Dick Jaeger '58, describing his Harvard Weekends when he was a student at Dartmouth. Jaeger said the tradition of not having Friday classes extends far back. "It used to be a time factor and distance factor situation," he said.

"I thought it was a really good effort after a disappointing weekend," Christina Hallenbeck '97 said.
