Frame of Reference

By Laura Sim | February 9, 2014

On Feb. 3, Brooklyn artist Tony Matelli’s lifelike sculpture “Sleepwalker” was installed outside of Wellesley College’s campus museum to promote the artist’s show, “New Gravity,” which will run through July. The sculpture features a middle-aged man in tight white underwear briefs, with eyes closed and arms outstretched like he is sleepwalking. After its installation, students circulated a petition demanding the sculpture’s removal.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | February 9, 2014

Loyal, faithful readers, at the beginning of this term, we promised you victory at all costs. We promised to try harder, to work out more, to eat better and to live for our sports. Well, we all make stupid promises at the beginning of term, and as many of you know from the miniscule amount of work you did this weekend, sometimes those promises are hard to keep. We regret nothing. We had a great Carnival. No apologies.

The men’s basketball team suffered back-to-back home losses over Winter Carnival weekend, falling 67-54 to Yale University on Friday night and 75-62 to Brown University on Saturday. The Big Green is now 9-11 overall and 2-4 in the Ivy League. After an impressive weekend sweep of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, the weekend was a disappointment for the Big Green, which failed to overcome early setbacks and injuries in both contests.

By Jehanna Axelrod | February 9, 2014

In a game that was far closer than the score indicated, the women’s hockey team fell to No. 5 Harvard University 4-1 at Thompson Arena on Friday. The Dartmouth women (7-16-1, 6-11-1 ECAC) were doomed by an 0-5 night on the power play and an inability to beat Harvard sophomore Emerance Maschmeyer despite outshooting the Crimson (18-3-3, 14-2-2 ECAC) for the second time this season.

The men’s and women’s track and field teams broke two more school records this weekend at Boston University’s Valentine Invitational. For the first time this year, a sprinter set a new Dartmouth record as Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 broke the Dartmouth record in the 60-meter dash with her time of 7.60 seconds, ahead of the 7.64 record set last season by Mollie Gribbin ’16, who transferred to the University of Nebraska this year. Will Geoghegan ’14 put his name on the record boards for the third time this season, this time in the 3,000-meter run. His time of 7:51.57 broke the 29-year-old record of 7:54.60 set by Jim Sapienza ’85. His time earned him second in the event, falling to Harvard University senior Maksim Korolev by .05 seconds.

VAC to display five Houser sculptures

By Apoorva Dixit | February 9, 2014

Louise Bourgeois’s “Crouching Spider,” the giant stainless steel sculpture displayed outside of the Black Family Visual Arts Center, will take leave this spring. After a yearlong loan to the College by the Bourgeois family estate, the nearly 9-foot tall sculpture will be replaced by five sculptures constructed by Allan Houser, one of the best-known Native American artists of the 20th century. The five sculptures, which will be on loan for a year, include Houser’s Native American artwork and more abstract, modernist pieces.

Behind the Curtain: The Evans Map Room

By Marley Marius | February 9, 2014

The next time you find yourself studying on second-floor Berry, make a point of visiting the Evans Map Room. First established in the 1920s by College librarian Nathaniel Goodrich, Dartmouth’s collection of maps was inspired by his work with the Army’s map department and his fondness for travel. In 1946, the collection became the Dartmouth Map Library when a wealth of materials from the Army Map Service, the Department of Defense’s mapmaking agency, were given to the College after World War II.
