In public bathrooms across campus, students can find “The Stall Street Journal.” It’s a series of posters produced by the Student Wellness Center offering students advice and help on a variety of topics. This term, they posted a new issue called “Doomscrolling Detox.” There are a couple of different designs, but they all convey the same message: that news and social media can be overwhelming, and it’s essential to consider your feelings and take precautions to avoid getting overwhelmed while scrolling through social media.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting next to a group of boys at the meeting of a liberal campus political organization. They were discussing how they could collaborate to vote in the club’s elections to ensure that they were all elected, which would have resulted in a freshman board with no women. They seemed to either not realize that that is what the result would have been of their plan or, even more problematically, they understood and saw no issue with that outcome. In that conversation, I heard the same young men discussing how they might skirt their mandatory Sexual Violence Prevention Project training, which is a four-year sexual violence prevention curriculum implemented for all Dartmouth students. One said they would play training videos on their laptop while the club meeting went on. Another said that the training didn’t apply to him because he is dating someone and doesn’t drink alcohol.

Like many Dartmouth students this past Homecoming, I was disappointed to hear the College’s plan to supplement the traditional bonfire celebration with a light and laser show. I still vividly remember my freshman-year Homecoming. Huddled together, my friends and I stared in amazement, the heat radiating off of our awe-filled faces and warming us against the chilly New England night. We were staring at 137 years of Dartmouth tradition.

In preparation for the Class of 2029’s student government elections, which concluded last week, the Dartmouth campus took on a familiar rhythm. Each would-be class senator released polished Instagram graphics, crafted statements about community and connection and circulated Google Docs paired with the promise of hearing students’ voices. Group chats begin to overflow with reminders to vote for a friend of a friend. The walls of Novack Cafe are plastered with headshots of freshmen in suits that remind you to “VOTE!”

I’ve recently been rewatching two of my favorite TV shows whose take on American politics couldn’t be more different: “The West Wing” and “Veep.” The former is the Clinton-era brainchild of Aaron Sorkin, a sentimental ode to public service and politics at their most idealistic. It also contains an interesting Dartmouth connection: its fictional president Josiah Bartlet’s resume includes a serving stint serving as governor of New Hampshire and teaching economics at the College. “Veep,” on the other hand, is a cynic’s rendering of the post-Bush years. Its characters are ruthless and uncaring yet hopelessly incompetent in almost every endeavor.

The Black Family Visual Arts Center is a hub for Dartmouth’s creatives. It’s a shame that it’s named after the notorious Leon Black ’73, who has been accused of pedophilia and rape and has close connections to Jeffery Epstein.

“Since Trump won, Democrats have been unmoored.” Is anyone else tired of saying this yet? The same analysis of the Democratic party has been trod out over and over since November of last year. It follows a similar script every time — no one has a clear answer for the rhetoric of the Trump administration, and no one is “leading the party.” In a way, this is true. On the national level, it seems like Democrats are constantly caught on their back heel, with no strong voices in Congress that are able to command as much attention as Trump and his allies.

Every group of friends has a “digital camera friend,” that one person that always has a digital camera on them, ready to deploy whenever needed. For months, I have been the digital camera friend. I love taking pictures, preserving memories and looking back on my memories in my shared albums —“shalbums,” as I call them — for when I miss particular moments in my life.

Tucked away on the second floor of the Berry Library, the Jones Media Center is a valuable tool for campus creatives. Students can borrow production equipment, book an editing suite or even record a podcast. But I love the JMC for a different reason: its extensive collection of high-quality CDs.

President Sian Leah Beilock has rightly rejected the Trump administration’s coercive Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education. The compact was a deal with the devil, deceptively designed to enhance institutional quality through federal investment. It demanded a price no free institution of learning should pay — the surrender of academic independence in exchange for government dollars. Accepting such terms would have not only violated Dartmouth’s proud tradition of self-governance, but Dartmouth would have ceded corporate rights we won in Dartmouth College v. Woodward.

On June 10, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed S.B. 295, dramatically expanding New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Accounts with state-funded savings accounts that allow K-12 students to use public tax dollars for private school tuition, tutoring and other expenses. The law removes the income cap on eligibility, making all K-12 students eligible while imposing a 10,000-student enrollment cap in its first year.

As we pass the midpoint of fall term, many freshmen like myself may find themselves reflecting on their time on campus thus far. Perhaps the excitement of the first few weeks has faded and been replaced by routine: the same familiar club meetings, ’53 Commons booths and library tables week in and week out. It’s all too easy to settle into our comfort zones, sticking with what feels safe and natural. We might try to rationalize this by appealing to convenience or reminding ourselves of our busy schedules. No matter the justification we come up with, it’s hard to deny that our reliance on routine can cause us to miss some of the most distinctive parts of Dartmouth life — the spontaneous, spirited and often-bizarre experiences that define this school’s culture.

Recently, I visited a friend from high school for the weekend at his college, a small school in Cambridge, Massachusetts … Harvard University. It was a fun trip; a dash of urban excitement is a great change of pace from our secluded home in the Upper Valley. I’d highly recommend visiting friends and family in the Boston area during the term, if possible.

“I’m sorry for you,” my Ukrainian colleague said to me on a recent Google Meet call, which felt shockingly ironic given that she had been under bombardment from Russian missiles and Iranian Shahed drones for over three years.

As Dartmouth students continue to be concerned with the future of diversity, equity and inclusion programs under the Trump administration, our nation's top military official has launched yet another attack on what he describes as “identity months, DEI offices [and] dudes in dresses.”

In the past week, Dartmouth announced the development of an app called Evergreen, a chatbot meant to, in the words of the College, “help students flourish by providing personalized guidance and support in real time.” The bot will be designed by a team of 130 Dartmouth students who will put in a cumulative 100,000 hours to refine the bot. By the end of its development, Evergreen will be able to “speak like a Dartmouth student,” understanding campus slang and providing one-on-one counseling in moments of need.

The proposed federal compact on higher education should be rejected as an inappropriate federal intrusion into institutional autonomy. But rejecting a flawed solution doesn’t make the underlying problems disappear. Most of the plan’s provisions address real problems in higher education and should be adopted — with the exception of those that threaten the existence of academic departments, those that police an individual's gender, and those that restrict or penalize foreign students. But they should be implemented through voluntary institutional reform, not federal mandate.
