Men's swim team shaping up

By Juan Alban | January 18, 1994

In its past two meets, the men's swim team showed encouraging signs of improvement with a pair of strong performances against the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania. Penn blasted Dartmouth 146-84 in Philadelphia on Saturday, while UMass escaped with a 156-138 win last Wednesday in Karl Michaels Pool. The team had a brave performance against a very strong Penn team with some outstanding individual performances. A win for the 200-meter medley relay team of Pete Moore '94, Ben Lannon '96, Jason Stern '94 and Matt Carlson '94 gave the Big Green a strong start.

SASH releases report

By Maggie Fritz | January 18, 1994

The Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Committee released its annual report last Wednesday, urging the College to create more spaces on campus controlled by women. The report suggested the College provide a house for groups of women who want social gatherings not organized primarily by men. Following the suggestions of the Committee on Diversity and Dartmouth Community's report, the SASH report also urged the College to examine its Greek system. "Despite the efforts of some fraternity leadership to address the problems of peer harassment, sexual abuse and excessive drinking, women students are still subjected to an environment in which ... women become accustomed to entering a space ... in which they will most likely be addressed on the basis of sexual attractiveness more than anything else," the report said. The SASH report also suggested the College hire two full-time peer internsfrom among Dartmouth's seniors to provide leadership for student-based programming. The SASH Committee, established during the 1987-88 academic year, utilizes education as a means of preventing sexual assault and sexual harassment on campus. The committee felt that the campus community as a whole was not as intense last year regarding the subject of sexual assault in comparison to the preceding year as a result of the publicized "stranger" assault on a Dartmouth student in March 1992. The report described student participation as relatively low at SASH events during the last year.

Women's hockey out of Ivy race

By Brad Parks | January 18, 1994

The race for the Ivy League title in women's hockey is down to two teams - unfortunately, Dartmouth is not among them. League-leading Brown University effectively knocked the Big Green out of the championship picture with a 5-3 win over Dartmouth on Saturday at Thompson Arena. A 13-5 bombardment of Cornell University on Sunday in Hanover pushed Dartmouth's record to 7-5-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the Ivy League, but did little to help the team's chances as it now needs both Brown and Princeton to post at least three losses apiece to have a shot at defending its Ivy Championship. Brown (8-2 overall, 4-0 Ivy) thoroughly dominated Dartmouth in the first period, blasting three goals past Big Green goalie Sarah Lenczner '97 in the first twenty minutes.

Squash teams split

By Jay Neukom | January 18, 1994

In a match that will hopefully be a sign of good things to come for its new coaching staff, the women's squash team broke a three-all tie with a trio of clutch wins to triumph over Williams College, 6-3, on Thursday night at the Berry Sports Center. The men's team, which, like the women's team, was playing its first match of the new year, fell to a deep Williams squad, 7-2. The women's win marked the first Big Green victory of the regular season for new head coach Chris Schutz Brownell '87, a former All-American squash player for Dartmouth.

By Sarah Cho | January 17, 1994

College dignitaries inaugurated the new Collis Center with a weekend of speeches and celebrations, starting with a dedication ceremony Friday afternoon. Although Collis has been open to the public for the last two weeks, Friday was the official christening of the College's first student center. The ceremony was designed to honor Charles Collis '37 and his wife Ellen, who donated $5.5 million to renovate Collis College Center, said Dean of the College Lee Pelton, who was master of ceremonies Friday night. About 80 students, professors and alumni gathered in the Common Ground to listen to Collis and his wife, College President James Freedman, Student Assembly President Nicole Artzer '94 and Board of Trustees Chair John Rosenwald, who spoke about their visions of Collis and what they think the center will mean to the student body. "This is what God would have built if he had money," Rosenwald said.

College Recognizes new undergraduate society

By Scott Anthony | January 17, 1994

Amarna, a co-educational social organization separate from the Greek system, obtained temporary College recognition Friday.

Because of the new provisional status, the organization can begin advertising and programming in College facilities, Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco said. The Panarchy became the College's first recognized undergraduate society at the beginning of last term. "It's a huge victory for us," said Christine Carter '94, one of Amarna's founders.

Harvard too quick for men's basketball

By Brad Parks | January 17, 1994

In a season where every single night turns into "just one of those games" for the 1-12 Big Green men's basketball team, Harvard certainly did its best not to break any trends in a 79-69 slapping of Dartmouth on Saturday night in Leede Arena. On defense, Harvard was quicker at every position, from center to water boy, as the Crimson picked Dartmouth for 20 steals and forced a homely 26 turnovers. On offense, the Crimson's brick-heaving point guard, Tarik Campbell, who averages six points a game on 31 percent shooting, drilled half his shots to score 16 while Michael Gilmore, a sixth man who averages a sleepy 10 points a game, scored a career-high 21 points. From the foul stripe, Harvard, which normally converts a grandmotherly 63 percent of its free throws, found a way to score 34 points from the line of largess. And the end result was that Harvard, a squad that came into the contest with a seven-game losing streak, grabbed its first win in nearly a month. Dartmouth, meanwhile, fattened its losing streak to double digits.

Men's hockey drops two

By Amy Hatch | January 17, 1994

The men's hockey team entered the weekend expecting tough competition from Harvard and Brown, the Eastern College Athletic Conference's top two teams. A tough weekend is exactly what the Big Green got. Harvard squeaked by Dartmouth 2-1 Saturday in Cambridge, while Brown escaped with a 4-3 win over the Big Green Friday night in Providence. "It was nice to be close with two of the better teams in the league, because no one ever expected us to win this weekend," goalie Mike Bracco '94 said.

Rally urges protection of gay rights in N.H.

By Ananth Srikrishnan | January 14, 1994

New Hampshire legislators and other activists in favor of amending the New Hampshire Anti-Discrimination Law to protect the rights of gays, lesbians and bisexuals spoke to a crowd of students, faculty and area residents in a Dartmouth Hall presentation last night. The participants in the "rally" were gathering to support the New Hampshire Coalition to End Discrimination and its efforts to amend the New Hampshire Anti-Discrimination Law. The Coalition's goal is to change the law so that it prohibits discrimination in the areas of housing, employment, public accommodations and access to credit on the basis of sexual orientation. The law currently forbids discrimination on such grounds as race, color, religion and sex. Legislator William McCann of Dover is the sponsor of the amendment.
