The men's club lacrosse team ended its spring season with a 2-1 record after posting wins over New England College and Holy Cross and suffering a lone loss to the University of Vermont. Dartmouth went 17-1 against the Pilgrims and defeated the Crusaders 4-2 at New England College during the last weekend of April. However, the Big Green suffered its first and last loss of the season to the University of Vermont last weekend, falling 16-4. "It wasn't necessarily because we were out-skilled or outplayed," Nathan Niparko '09 said.

The Dartmouth women's rugby team went into its match against Williams knowing exactly what it was playing for: EBA's buffalo chicken pizza was waiting for them in their brand new clubhouse. The Big Green took the pitch with hunger in their eyes and swept Williams 62-0.

It is not uncommon to see women on the Dartmouth rugby team sporting black eyes while walking around campus. In Sunday's match against Yale, the rugby team dominated the Bulldogs 34-12 at Brophy Field. After the match, Katie Moerlein '08 was asked about the black eye she acquired. Moerlein said, nonchalantly, "Oh, I didn't even realize I had one; it's probably old anyway." The women in green had played Yale only a week earlier at the Ivy tournament but lost in the final minute of the game. "It was really nice to come back and show that we dominate," Kirsten Ahrendt '07 said. Meg Rast '06 scored off a great breakthrough run by Mallory McQueen '09, while Rachel Forman '09 and Alyssa Anderson '07 each recorded one try. Dartmouth never fell behind against Yale and kept its composure and confidence throughout the match. Women's rugby resumes action next weekend and will travel either to Rhode Island for the Beast of the East tournament or stay home to play the University of Massachusetts. In other news, Dartmouth women's club lacrosse team traveled to the University of Connecticut for a Sunday game. The women in green end up losing 10-8 but gave the Huskies a scare. The Lady Laxers were winning at the half but missed a few chances to score.

When asked the scores of the Dartmouth women's water polo team's four matches, freshman Jenna Newgard '09 said, "We creamed some teams, I can't remember all the scores." Newgard's statement expresses a good idea of how dominant Dartmouth was in its first-ever home tournament. The team won all four of its matches against Williams, Wesleyan and both the A and B teams from Yale Saturday and Sunday at the Karl Michael Pool.

Thereare problems with the Greek system."I hear that sentence, or some variation of it, with a fair amount of frequency at Dartmouth.Staunch anti-Greek students insist it, administrators and faculty assert it, even members of Coed Fraternity Sorority organizations are willing to concede it.Nonetheless, we all know that the frats, sororities, and coeds thrive here -- even without freshman, about half of the student population has joined a one. So, why aren't these perceived problems being resolved?Maybe it is because the anti-Greek side approaches the issue impractically, i.e.
