Largest, best-preserved T. rex visits Vermont museum

By Dongjun Suh | May 18, 2014

Entering the Montshire Museum of Science’s first floor collections, patrons on Saturday were confronted by a monster 42 feet long and 13 feet tall. They stared awestruck at its whopping 58 teeth, the longest measuring over a foot long, and shuddered to think of the destruction that the 14,000-pound beast could inflict.

Student Spotlight: Richard Stephenson ’12

By Marley Marius | May 18, 2014

Richard Stephenson ’12, or “SHEBA Richard” as he is known by some on campus, did not grow up dancing. The North Port, Florida, native’s idea of a “stage” was grass field bookended by yellow goal posts until he arrived on campus as a freshman.

Softball falls to Western powerhouses at NCAAs

By Josh Schiefelbein | May 18, 2014

With a runner on first and no outs in the inning, San Diego State sophomore Leia Ruiz sent the 1-2 pitch by Ashley Sissel ’17 deep to center field. Megan Averitt ’15 chased back, but the ball sailed just out of the reach of her glove as the junior crashed into the wall. The ball caromed off the fence towards right fielder Brianna Lohmann ’16. Lohmann tried to replicate her fifth-inning heroics as she came up firing to try to catch sophomore Monica Downey out at the plate, but Downey slid in just under the tag by catcher Alex St. Romain ’14 for the run that ended the Big Green’s season.

Rec League Legends

Loyal readers, our tenure as the Rec League Legends is coming to an end. I know, you are sad. We are sad. The only people who probably aren’t sad are the competitors who look good at our expense and the editors who put up with our shenanigans. We have left you with a lot of questions, but the one that we would truly like to address in this column is probably the most important: what’s next in the careers of the Rec League Legends?

By Sara McGahan | May 15, 2014

The College will hire a trained investigator to examine and determine responsibility for sexual assault cases as well as mandate expulsion for students found guilty of rape, under a proposed sexual assault policy released March 14.

Student survey shows divided campus

By Michael Qian | May 15, 2014

In the wake of intense media scrutiny and passionate campus discussion of sexual assault, The Dartmouth polled the College’s undergraduates on topics related to sexual violence, finding that student opinion is sharply divided over Dartmouth’s responses to reports of sexual assault yet largely united in support of the proposed sexual assault policy. Self-identified men and women, the survey found, report they hold different views of sexual assault frequency, College response procedures and the Greek system’s connection to sexual assault. Sixty-two percent said they knew someone who had been sexually assaulted.
