The Senate, led by Ortiz, discussed the reinstatement of the standardized testing admissions requirement and updates on various committee initiatives.
Saeedi, Alsheikh and Akmehmet: In Response To the Vandalization of Al-Nur’s Ice Sculpture
Any form of hate directed against students for their race, religion or nationality is unacceptable. Yet sadly, such hate was directed at Muslim and Palestinian students this Winter Carnival.

First-Year Trips directorate announced

Klüger: Bring Back the Swim Test
Dartmouth recently reinstated standardized testing as one of its admissions requirements. This is commendable: we must select the smartest minds. But we should not just raise our intellectual standards, we must raise our physical standards.
Reflection: On Hookup Culture, Fun Dip and the Underrated Joy of Platonic Love
It’s Feb. 14, which means the Dartmouth listserv has been teasing me with its annual, obnoxious onslaught of catfish flitzes all week. One more subject line in the realm of “are you extremely alone?” or “heart-shaped pizza for fucked attachment styles in Common Ground,” and I’ll hit reply all. Yes, I’m alone. No, I don’t want to drink pink lemonade and talk about it. Thanks for flooding my inbox, though.
From Duke Ellington to Avicii: Live Performances at Dartmouth
Duke Ellington. The Clash. Bruce Springsteen. They’re all internationally famous musicians, but they have something else in common — each one has performed at Dartmouth. On campus, live music is a staple of the College’s social scene, with a robust student band culture. Despite its rural location, Dartmouth has also been able to draw big-time artists to perform at both smaller gigs and full-scale concerts like Fallapallooza and Green Key.
Drinks for All (of Age): Spotlight on Stinson’s Village Store
“Credit or debit?” Jack Stinson asks his next customer at the Stinson’s Village Store’s front counter, pausing our interview to ring up local cheese and a soda.
Dark Side or Light Side? Deconstructing the Athlete and NARP Divide
You walk into Foco for dinner and look for a place to sit. On dark side, you see the members of the football team sitting at the tables near the drink station. On light side, you see the men’s hockey team at a long table and hear them discussing how the Toronto Maple Leafs will choke in the playoffs again. Throughout Foco, you struggle to find room to squeeze in among the various clusters of black, Dartmouth varsity athletics parkas. Though Dartmouth emphasizes cultivating community, some say there is a divide between the social culture of athletes and “NARPs” — non-athletic regular people — on campus.
Editor’s Note
This Winter Carnival felt like a fever dream, and not in a “crazy, lit, movie!” kind of way. It struck me that, after four years here, I did not truly know what Winter Carnival entailed. I was frustrated that the Polar Bear Swim was canceled, a tradition that my dad participated in during his time at Dartmouth and one that he hypes up and texts me excitedly about all winter. I was grossed out by the pathetic mounds of dirty snow melting tiredly into piles of mud around campus and alarmed by the warm temperatures that contribute to the climate anxiety that starts to worsen every winter. It felt harder to motivate myself to run down frat row in ski goggles with a Beatbox. I struggled to rally, surrounded by unrecognizable younger faces who appeared to be drunkenly having the time of their lives.
Dating at Dartmouth: Polling on Love at the Big Green
Polling all undergraduates, The Dartmouth asked the student body about their current relationship status, views on the D-Plan and how it impacts relationships, flitz habits, use of the matchmaking algorithm Marriage Pact and feelings about Valentine’s Day, among other topics. The following four sections detail survey participants’ responses.
With Love From Afar: How Long-Distance Couples Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Ah, Valentine’s Day, the time when stores push what I like to call the three classics: chocolates, candy and cards. Others, mainly those in romantic relationships, are prone to paint Valentine’s Day in a more generous light. They mark it as a time to treasure their significant other by buying flowers, making gift baskets or going on a dinner date to Molly’s. All of this is possible with close physical proximity, which some students with partners on campus may take for granted. But how do you celebrate such a holiday when your significant other is hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away?
An Extra Year in The Woods: Fifth-Year Students in ‘Limbo’
At Dartmouth, some students delay their graduation due to reasons such as COVID-19, complications with their D-Plan, a desire to play an extra season with their sports team or other reasons. Although this decision can be filled with challenges, these students see the extra time in Hanover as worthwhile.
When A Dream Becomes a Theme: The Production of Dartmouth’s Themed Parties
If you noticed a swarm of girls in fur coats and black dresses hightailing toward Theta Delta Chi fraternity two weekends ago, you’re not going crazy. That night, TDX hosted their Mafia-themed semi-formal, and the majority of attendees committed to a Sopranos-esque style.
Heart-to-Hanover: Students' Signature Date Spots
One of the best ways to make Valentine’s Day special is to plan the perfect date. Dating in Hanover can feel public and sometimes limiting, but many students have their favorite places to get away from campus to spend time with someone they care about. From restaurants, to coffee shops, to quiet spots in nature, each potential date spot has its own perks.
Al-Nur ice sculpture vandalized and destroyed during Winter Carnival
On the evening of Saturday, Feb. 10, an ice sculpture carved by members of the Muslim student association, Al-Nur, was vandalized and destroyed, according to a campus-wide email sent from Dean of the College Scott Brown. The next morning, the sculpture was found broken on the ground, with the Palestinian flag lying beside smaller Israeli flags on the ground, according to photos obtained by The Dartmouth. The ice sculpture was created as part of the Winter Carnival ice sculpture contest and originally depicted an outline of Palestine, with a Palestinian flag draped across the podium underneath the sculpture.
Campus organizations celebrate Lunar New Year
The Dartmouth Chinese Culture Society and the Hopkins Center for the Arts hosted events this past weekend in celebration of Lunar New Year, which took place on Feb. 10. Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated across Asia to mark the start of a new year in the lunar calendar, with traditions that include wearing the color red, giving and receiving red envelopes full of cash and reuniting with family.
