Dartmouth in National News

[abka]

Denis was watching CNN Headline News and heard that Dartmouth is cancelling the varsity swim team. In an effort to save the program the swim team posted an auction on Ebay for someone (like a corporate sponsor) to buy the team. Last I checked the bidding was at aproximately $212,000.

Dartmouth budget cuts really really suck.

That's crazy about the ebay thing. Though actually the item appears to have been pulled now (I did see it earlier today when I first read your post, but I tried clicking the link now and it said that the item number was invalid, and a search for the Dartmouth swim team on ebay came up with nothing... curious.

Oh, for anyone who didn't read it here's the story that ran before Thanksgiving in the D about the swim team being a victim of budget cuts: College cuts swim, diving teams (http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=200211260101)
