Soundtrack to Spring: Music from around campus
Tulips blossom from beneath the melting snow. Blue jays glide along cerulean skies. The dreary Dartmouth winter has drifted away, despite the occasional late blizzard. The Green transforms into a prime location for lounging and becomes, dare I say, more crowded than Collis Cafe at lunchtime. But what is an impromptu picnic or sun tan session by the river without the perfect soundtrack? Don’t worry — I’ve got you covered with some spring music inspiration from fellow Dartmouth students’ playlists.

Ruiz: Dartmouth’s Decision to Reinstate the Standardized Testing Requirement is Flawed
Dartmouth recently made headlines as the first Ivy League institution to reintroduce the standardized testing requirement in the admissions process, after three years of test-optional admissions. The College initially introduced its test-optional policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many students were unable to take standardized tests as a result of quarantine policy. The controversial decision to reinstate the testing requirement stemmed from an internal study conducted by a quartet of Dartmouth economists — Professors Elizabeth Cascio, Bruce Sacerdote, Doug Staiger and Michael Tine. Their findings were published in a report addressed to College President Sian Leah Beilock and vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid Lee Coffin on Jan. 30, according to previous reporting by The Dartmouth.

Students and community members view solar eclipse
On April 8, many community members experienced a total solar eclipse — an event that has not taken place in New Hampshire for 65 years, according to physics and astronomy professor Brian Chaboyer. Hanover itself saw 98.3% totality, meaning the moon only left 1.7% of the sun uncovered.
Dartmouth’s Extreme Athletes: Students’ Feats of Endurance
Twenty-five percent of Dartmouth students are varsity athletes, and 75% of all students participate in athletics, including club and intramural teams, according to Dartmouth Admissions. While most students who are not on a varsity team might hit the gym or try their hand at an intramural sport, some push their limits and look beyond conventional means to stay fit.
Residential Roadblocks: Investigating the Impact of Hanover’s Zoning Laws
One of the most pressing concerns for Dartmouth students is finding available housing. Lengthy waitlists for on-campus undergraduate housing and a lack of sufficient living spaces for graduate students is the constant subject of student activism and administrative policy. President Beilock, in fact, called housing scarcity “one of the biggest sources of stress in our community” in her inaugural address.
Town and Gown: Community Reactions to Hanover’s Top Small College Town Nomination
As I walked down Main Street this week, I found comfort in the familiar sights of the neighborhood: residents walking their dogs, parents chasing after rambunctious children and, of course, fellow Dartmouth students making emergency CVS runs, devouring a toasted bagel at The Works or scouting out a study spot at Starbucks.
Losing Layup List
At Dartmouth, where students have to juggle courses for their majors, minors and distributions, it’s common for them to want to lighten their termly course loads with a “layup” — a class considered to be relatively easy. In order to find “layups,” students have historically used the course assessment tool Layup List, a website where peers can evaluate courses by leaving reviews of the professors who taught them. With Layup List, students can input their grade in a course, provide a review, indicate whether a course is “good” and vote on its “layup” status — in other words, whether or not it’s an easy A.
