This morning, College President Sian Leah Beilock wrote an email to campus addressing last night’s encampments. Following nearly six hours of protest, 90 people — including Dartmouth students, a Dartmouth history professor, non-Dartmouth students and two reporters for The Dartmouth covering the event — were arrested, according to past reporting by the Dartmouth. According to a media release statement by the Hanover Police Department chief of police Charles B. Dennis, those who were arrested were charged with “multiple offenses including criminal trespass and resisting arrest.”

Just the phrase “catching up” is overwhelming. It implies that you’re behind.
For plenty of students, myself included, movies and TV shows are a great escape from the endless quest for maximum productivity. The 30 to 60 minutes before I go to sleep each night are spent watching some sitcom or another, breaking up my busy days in the name of relaxation and self-care.
While Dartmouth students have likely written more essays than they can count, many might have trouble remembering the last time they wrote for pleasure — to craft a story just for themselves. I personally love to write poetry but can never justify pausing in the middle of a problem set to pull out my journal. Making time for creative writing can be difficult at Dartmouth. As a result, some students find that joining writing-based clubs in college gives them a dedicated space for their passion.
In 2008, during his last year of graduate school at Duke University, government professor Brendan Nyhan won a fellowship to launch an “innovative teaching project,” according to Nyhan. Through the fellowship, Nyhan created what has since become one of Dartmouth’s most unique government courses — GOVT 83.21, “Experiments in Politics.”
Last Sunday, I ran my first official half marathon: the NYCRuns Brooklyn Half Marathon. The race went about as I expected — I ran a time I’m fairly proud of but also spent much of the last six miles squeezing a Clif bar like a stress ball and cursing my decision to ever lace up my running shoes.
Standing tall behind Dartmouth Hall is a row of three brick buildings that serve as South House freshman year housing — the Fayerweather residence halls. Colloquially known as North Faye, Mid Faye and South Faye, the trio of buildings have long been a cornerstone of first-year bonding at Dartmouth, fostering a sense of community that transcends their physical structure. Although these buildings are not connected above ground, they are linked through a shared basement — commonly referred to as the “Fayesment” — which facilitates interaction between residents of different buildings. More than just living spaces, the Fayes have become synonymous with tight-knit connections and shared experiences among first-year residents.
Last night, Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth-United Electrical Workers, the College’s graduate student workers’ union, voted to strike, according to a campus-wide email from College Provost David Kotz. The strike will take effect tomorrow.
Nicole Chambers, the former office manager of The Dartmouth, pleaded guilty today to embezzling more than $223,000 from the student newspaper between April 2017 and September 2021.
The College is investigating two students following the alleged racial harassment of a group of Indigenous community members during an Indigenous Peoples’ Day event last fall. One of the students under investigation is Cooper Black ’26, a member of the Big Green men’s hockey team.
On April 22 and 23, Dartmouth students elected Chukwuka Odigbo ’25 and Jon Pazen ’25 as student body president and student body vice president, respectively, according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. The pair defeated Matthew Kim ’25 and Alejandra Carrasco Alayo ’25 in the first contested election in three years.
Known for her compassion and resilience, Julia Cross ’24 brought joy to all who knew her. Cross is remembered by friends and loved ones for her poetic talent, passion for economics and warm-hearted nature.
On April 28, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its fifth weekly meeting of the spring term. Led by student body president Jessica Chiriboga ’24, the Senate discussed how to inform undergraduate students about a potential graduate student worker strike organized by the Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth-United Electrical Workers, the College’s graduate workers’ union.
It should come as no surprise that many people reacted with horror to the stories of students who have been arrested, beaten and tear-gassed on university campuses around the country for protesting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Indeed, the images of armed riot cops stationed on campuses around the country seem more reminiscent of scenes from war than of the modern university. State violence on college campuses is not without precedent. From the Tlatelolco killings of Mexican students calling for political change in 1968, to the slaughter of pro-democracy students in the Athens Polytechnic uprising of 1973, to the United States’ Kent State massacre of students protesting the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia in 1970, we have seen that, when pushed, governments are unafraid to open fire on their own citizens.
The Dartmouth Climate Collaborative — announced on April 22 — signifies a major step forward in the College’s response to climate change. The College has committed to investing more than $500 million into reducing carbon emissions, while also kickstarting other projects to reduce emissions and raise awareness about climate change. This policy change exists because of the hard work of organizations like the Sustainability Office and because students have never stopped demanding more from Dartmouth. As such — while we should celebrate the achievements of this plan — we must continue to push for more. Although College President Sian Leah Beilock proclaims that “the time for bold action is now,” the truth is that Dartmouth’s climate response is not nearly bold enough, failing to prioritize climate and environmental justice.
