To the Editor: In response to Dan Hogins '98's column ("Harvard Bashing is Pointless," April 13, 1995) on how horrible it is for us to make fun of Harvard University, I'd like to say, "lighten up."

Ski team takes fifth place at NCAA finals

The Dartmouth ski team finished fifth out of 21 colleges competing at the NCAA championships earlier this month at the University of New Hampshire. The races were hampered by several delays due to the weather, but still concluded on time. After finishing eighth at last year's national championships, the Big Green used a strenuous year of training to move up three spots, edging out all but one of the Eastern colleges in the competition. Vermont, the winner of last year's NCAAs, finished a disappointing third this year, losing the title to the University of Colorado, which lost its bid to host the event to the University of New Hampshire. Utah finished second place and Denver University edged out the Big Green for fourth place. The first day of the events included the freestyle Nordic races.
