Trevor Byrne was picked to the 2nd team All-Ivy squad, and sophomore Lee Stempniak garnered an honorable mention.Hugh Jessiman was a unanimous choice for Ivy League Freshman of the Year. Cornell was the big winner with 3 players on the first team, another on the second, and a 5th getting an honorable mention. Cornell netminder David LeNeveu also was voted Ivy League Player of the Year. Dartmouth should fare better in the All-ECAC teams. Look for Byrne and Stempniak to get spots again, with Pete Summerfelt and/or Jessiman possibly joining them. As well, Dartmouth should garner two if not three spots on the ECAC All-Freshman team. Jessiman is a lock and will easily get ECAC Freshman of the Year award as well, while Mike Ouellette and/or Sean Offers should join him on the All-Freshman squad.

Im here right now studying for my exam at 845 and a mouse is crawling around with a mouse trap attached to it and the woman who opened up Novack this morning refuses to touch it. She opened the door and it scurried out of novack. So it is crawling around on the floor with a mouse trap on its tail. Everyone here is just staring. She's yelling "Oh god" and chasing it into the computer rooms where the people are beginning to also yell "Oh God." This is ridiculous, funny, and gross all at the same time. Now some other old lady is saying, 'Take him outside. He'll freeze.'" Full post and comments below the fold.

Box 1499 Princeton, NJ 08542 tory@princeton.edu PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE When Ira Leeds, Princeton freshman and Financial Manager of the student publication The Princeton Tory, checked his magazine's bank account, he was surprised to find a ledger balance of $9,900,693.61--or, nearly $10 million more than he expected. Leeds immediately called PNCBank of Princeton to report the error, only to be told that there was no error - the figure was correct; Princeton University's balance was quite accurate. Leeds had recently opened an electronic 'Account Link' for The Princeton Tory, Inc. When the access was granted, though, he discovered that he had access not only to the Tory's funds, which number in the thousands, but over nine million dollars of Princeton University's money. Leeds immediately requested that the Tory's online access be directly terminated, so the student journal would not be liable for future transactions. The bank did not immediately process his request, and he continued to be able to access the account for at least a day. Leeds then called the Tory's Publisher, sophomore John Andrews. Agreeing that this error needed immediate rectification, Andrews expressed dismay that Princeton's administration would be so careless as to allow student groups to access the University's wealth. "Their negligence is appalling," he said. "Nobody's donation, or tuition, or retirement savings, or research grant is safe. Who wants to have their money where strangers could easily transfer it to an offshore account? Not everybody would do the right thing in our situation," he said. "But I'm proud of Ira and the way he embodies the Tory's character and high ethical standards." According to Andrews, preliminary findings suggest that a University official inadvertently gave The Princeton Tory incorrect tax information listing Princeton University's taxpayer identification number rather than the Tory's. Andrews explained, "The taxpayer ID number is like a Social Security Number - it gives you control of the account. Princeton ought to have been more careful with this information. We assumed that the University knew what it was doing when it gave us our number." This information lay dormant for years, until the Tory staff attempted to use it to access the Tory's own account, but instead gained access to fifteen University accounts, with a ledger balance of $9,900,693.61. An electronic copy of the Tory's balance statement, reflecting the acquisition of the University's ten million dollars, is available from the Tory's official website: www.princetontory.com. Leeds and Andrews consulted the Trustees of The Princeton Tory, Inc., four of whom are attorneys. Under their Trustees'advice, the two young men then notified President Tilghman and Provost Gutman of the problem. "We used email, because it's prudent to document your intentions," Leeds said. University administrators are currently examining the matter. Published at least six times per academic year, The Princeton Tory is a student-produced magazine of conservative and moderate political thought. A recent survey of students conducted by the administration found that the Tory is the most-read political publication on campus. It currently receives no funding from the University - except by accident.

Posted by alex at 9:31 AM (0 comments) Clown CarI have long been urging folks at the Free Press to get a sense of humor. It seems their pals at Why War have beaten them to it -- but at least one Free Presser's tight lips have begun to curl into a Grinchy smile.Clint Hendler notes with girlish delight that "someone over at Why War sent out a gem of a prank blitz with a repressed recipient list to a few select dartloggers. The blitz concerns a false occupation of Parkhurst to pressure the school to take a position against a possible war with Iraq�They ought to be wiping the egg off their faces." Chee! Now if that ain't a corker! So, is it time to push the baby birds out of the nest? Well, yes and no. The good news is that they're loosening up a bit. The bad news is that they still don't seem to get it. Yes, the prank was an expert piece of self-parody, but it's hard to see why us 'loggers should be embarrassed for assuming it was the Real McCoy. Never before has this Laffy Taffy riddle seemed so pertinent: Q. Doesn't Dartlog's credulity suggest that the anti-war movement (having by now pissed every drop of its credibility into the wind) is seen as capable of pretty much any meaningless, self-aggrandizing publicity stunt? A. Yes. Also, Clint Hendler sounds like a ninety year-old man when he gets excited. Full post and comments below the fold.

It is becoming more and more clear that, despite agreeing with us, that they will not stand up for what they believe. So we are going to up the pressure a little. We need 10 volunteers to help take over Parkhurst. I know finals are coming up, but once we're barracaded in you'll have time to do your studying. We will succeed and I want to stress that this is going to be 100% peaceful. We will not fight back in any way. If you volunteer chances are you will get arrested, but you'll be out on 60-100$ bail in no time. Please respond if you are interested. If this is going to happen we need to get moving on it. peace Full post and comments below the fold.

Strange >Subject: Please Vote >To: HELP HANOVER STUDENTS FIND THEIR VOICES A group of passionate high school students need you to vote for warrant articles 12, 13 and 14 on Tuesday March 4th! The Hanover High Mission statement, approved by the School board, the staff and the representatives of the student body, says that it wants to improve the minds, hearts and voices of their students. A debate class and team was created 3 years ago and has been funded through private grants and mostly by the parents of the students involved. These funds have dried up, parents can't afford to continue to pay for this program, and the students need support from the public so they can spend time debating and not finding the money in order to debate. It is time that Hanover pays its fair share to support a program that has the support of over 60 students. These students have spent the past year going to school board meetings, and working within the system to try to achieve their goals. THESE WARRANT ARTICLES ARE THE LAST CHANCE THESE STUDENTS HAVE TO ACHIEVE FUNDING FOR THEIR PROGRAM. Debate trains active citizens. Without your active participation, their voices could be silenced. As residents of Hanover, you can go to the Richmond Middle School (which is connected to the high school) between 7am and 7pm and vote. All you need is a picture ID and proof that you are a Dartmouth student and you can register at the polls. If you want more background or have any questions, please feel free to email donna.strange@dartmouth.edu. Please spread the word to anyone who you know may be able to vote in Hanover or Norwich.

Posted by Emmett at 9:30 AM (0 comments) Sunday, March 02, 2003Dartmouth beats Union, earns 3rd place finishDartmouth entered the night needing at least a tie to clinch 4th, while still holding an outside shot at third place. Everything broke Dartmoth's way, and the team ended up with its best regular season record since 1980, the last time they made the NCAA Tournament. Dartmouth (17-11-1, 13-9-0) took down Union 2-1 at Achilles Rink on Saturday, and in the process claimed 3rd place in the ECAC Standings after Cornell defeated Yale 3-0. Jarrett Sampson got Dartmouth's first goal, and Lee Stempniak got the game winner 4:14 into the 3rd period, his 40th point of the year. Dartmouth hadn't had a 40-point scorer in 10 years, and now has two of them in Stempniak and Hugh Jessiman, who leads the team with 41 points. Nick Boucher made 33 saves on 34 shots to earn the victory.Dartmouth will be off next weekend as the ECAC playoffs get underway. They'll host a quarterfinals series the following weekend, starting March 14th at Thompson Arena. Game two will be Saturday the 15th, and game three if necessary Sunday the 16th. All games will start at 7:00 EST. And yes, it does suck because Spring Break starts on the 14th and thus there will be little to no student presence at the games. The Conference Semis and Finals will be March 21st and 22nd at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY and will be televised on NESN and YES. The winner receives an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.
