Every Thursday from July through Aug., the Lake Morey Resort — located at the southern tip of Lake Morey in Fairlee, Vt. — hosts weekly concerts for a summer concert series. Last Thursday, Icelandic blues rock band and global superstar KALEO gave an inspiring performance I won’t forget.
“Weapons” writer-director Zach Cregger understands that what makes us scream and what makes us laugh aren’t really all that different. With his 2022 debut feature film “Barbarian,” the pedestrian premise of a double-booked Airbnb veered into a completely different type of film altogether. With “Weapons,” Cregger has expanded his narrative scope and his directorial ambition to produce a sprawling mystery unravelled from six distinct character perspectives.
On Aug. 9, The Hopkins Center for the Arts presented a work-in-progress reading of “The Brothers Play,” a play in development by Iranian-American writer Arya Shahi. The public reading, in which Shahi also acted as the main character, marked the culmination of his creative team’s weeklong Dartmouth residency.
On July 30, Roy Leibovitz ’27 won the triple jump at the Israeli Championships, setting a lifetime personal best of 15.59 meters. The Dartmouth sat down with Leibovitz to discuss his gold medal and experience as a full-time student and international athlete.

Dear Freak of the Week,
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
I’ve always loved going places. Whether it’s a quick Target run in West Lebanon, a weekend getaway to Wisconsin for a Coldplay concert or a trip to Europe with my family, the joy of possibility has always drowned out any anxiety.
I’ve been journaling a lot this summer. Not every day, and not with the intention of writing anything particularly poetic or put-together, but a lot. It’s mostly scattered thoughts — half-finished sentences, lists of things I’m trying to process, weirdly specific moments I don’t want to forget. It’s like the feeling of driving with the windows down after a long day, or hearing something someone said that hit a little too close. I journal in the times of the day when things slow down: late at night before bed, sitting in my parked car after a long drive or in the 20 minutes between class and Collis lunch when I need to get out of my head.
In recognition of her incredible four years at Dartmouth, cross-country skier Jasmine Drolet ’25 was nominated for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Women of the Year award. The award was established in 1991 to honor the top senior female student-athletes in the country. Each NCAA member school can nominate up to two athletes who best represent academic and athletic excellence, as well as community service and leadership.
Dartmouth plans to borrow more than $450 million through the sale of $300 million in taxable bonds and $156 million in tax-exempt bonds to fund the College’s “long-term capital plan,” College spokesperson Jana Barnello wrote in a statement to The Dartmouth.
Long before she became President Donald Trump’s choice for United States assistant attorney general for the civil rights division, Harmeet Dhillon ’89 was a classical studies major and the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review. Today, Dhillon is a Trump loyalist, the first Republican woman to hold her position within the Department of Justice and a key figure in the Trump administration’s campaign to freeze federal funding for universities on the alleged basis that they have inadequately addressed campus antisemitism.
On Aug. 4, the Committee on Standards ruled that Roan Wade ’25 and Jordan Narrol ’25 were “responsible” for participating in a masked May 28 sit-in of the president’s office in Parkhurst Hall — where protesters were largely unidentifiable. Their respective suspensions were extended to the end of summer term.
On August 5, Dartmouth’s chapter of the Federalist Society hosted Harvard Law School Professor Stephen Sachs for a moderated Q&A on recent Supreme Court rulings regarding birthright citizenship.
In a new study, a group of archaeologists led by anthropology professor Madeleine McLeester found that from A.D. 1000 to 1600, farming was extensive among Native American communities at the Sixty Islands site in Wisconsin, complicating widely held notions in current archaeological theory. At Sixty Islands — which is the largest preserved ancestral native American cornfield in North America — McLeester and her team examined soil-building techniques, ridge maintenance and connections with nearby villages. McLeester spoke to The Dartmouth about her career and her ground-breaking study, which has garnered national attention in the New York Times.
Once you are enrolled in a college and have paid your fees for the term, you are more or less trapped. Aside from transferring or dropping out, you have little freedom to engage with alternatives beyond the college, and your money has no power to incentivize change within the institution. A college acts like a business in how it takes money, then acts as a communist state in how it delivers its services.

Dear Freak of the Week,
Directed by Akiva Schaffer, “The Naked Gun” is the fourth film in the eponymous franchise inspired by the spoof 1980s TV show “Police Squad.” Liam Neeson stars as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. of the Los Angeles Police Department, the son of Leslie Nielsen’s original detective protagonist from the preceding trilogy. Styled after classic film noirs, the plot follows a murder investigation that gradually reveals a greater conspiracy. Pamela Anderson costars as Beth Davenport, a crime novelist and sister of the murdered man.
If you ever walk around Hanover on Friday afternoons, you’re probably well aware of the group of local Upper Valley residents that collect on the sidewalks at the four way intersection between Wheelock Street and Main Street. There’s usually about 30-40 of them, and they stand quietly with a variety of anti-Trump signs. For a podcast that I am making for a class, my groupmates and I visited last week’s protests and talked to the leader of the protests as well as a handful of participants. Dartmouth students urgently need to hear what they told us in an hour and a half of conversations.
