I’ve seen at least two articles and one BuzzFeed poll about the song of the summer in the past two weeks. Now that September is upon us, everyone seems to be looking back with nostalgia to the summer and it’s song.
HELLO WORLD, I AM BACK. I am so excited to be on campus again!
The data from the College's first ever sexual assault campus climate survey, conducted by the American Association of Universities, were released online today, College President Phil Hanlon announced in a campus-wide email.
Each week, Dartbeat asks a group of musically inclined students to recommend their favorite songs of the week. We then share a few of those tracks. Enjoy!
Lines - Remember, not everyone has to show up to Foco at 6.
Despite the lack of hard alcohol on campus and the occasional grumblings about so-called academic rigor, the start of this fall term has been business as usual. As College President Phil Hanlon’s “Moving Dartmouth Forward” policy initiative approaches the nine-month anniversary of its announcement, it has begun to lose its novelty. Going forth, administrators and students alike must remember the passion that went into the initiative during its inception. Borne of an institutional identity crisis, “Moving Dartmouth Forward” has always aimed to improve Dartmouth, despite sometimes-fierce disagreement over precisely how to do so. As more components of the plan enter the admittedly less glamorous implementation phase, we cannot lose sight of this goal.
It's well known that Dartmouth has a sordid history of power dynamics between the classes. Even apart from fraternity hazing, freshman up to the Class of 1973 were made to buy and wear green beanies for their first term at the College. This ad in the Dartmouth from the 1960's shows DDS getting in on the act — welcoming upperclassmen back to school but conspicuously showing freshmen no love.
Remember when you were a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed first-year student? Back then you still thought trippees were forever and FoCo cookies were a godsend (just kidding, that second one is still true). For all you ’19s out there, we know how you feel, even if we pretend that we were way cooler and always had the hang of this college thing. If this sounds anything like your morning yesterday (or today — we'll cut you some slack), just know that about 99.99% of the freshman class probably feels the exact same. 8:01 a.m.:OH MY GOD!! I overslept my alarm by 16 minutes! Was my roommate right telling me not to take a 9L?? Look at her…still peacefully asleep until she has to wake up for her 12…ugh. 8:03:No, I was right. My friends that are still in high school are already halfway through first period, and I just got out of bed. I’ll be okay. 8:15:I definitely don’t have time to make my bed. Or put on a decently presentable outfit. This sweatshirt and pajama pants will do, right? Dartmouth students are supposed to dress casually anyway… Wow, look at me, off to my first college class at an Ivy League. Go me! 8:16:I spoke too soon. The floormate I hooked up with the first night is heading for the same staircase as me…he just looked back and waved…oh my god he stopped so I could walk with him…I can’t handle this awkwardness. Not to mention, he’s way less attractive than I thought. Also… is that a Trump 2016 sticker on his backpack?? And did he just mispronounce my name??! Unforgiveable! 8:18:New rule: no more floorcest.And maybe no more drinking….(just kidding). 8:19:I don’t have time to walk all the way to FoCo. I’ll try out that place in the library, Novak or however you spell it.Someone told me the workers are really friendly and they have amazing coffee! 8:20:This line is too long. I’m going to try that place my trip leader told me about – “caf”? Must stand for cafeteria. What a strange name. 8:23:This line is long too but whatever, I need food. Also, I guess this place is called KAF, short for King Arthur Flour…? That’s an even weirder name than “caf”… 8:29: Why did the woman roll her eyes when I asked if they take meal swipes??? 8:31:Oh my god. This croissant is incredible. How much DBA do I have again? 8:34:I should probably start heading to class…I want to make a good impression on the first day. Time to consult my campus map. 8:37:The Life Science Center looks kind of far… 8:42:How much further is this place?? Will it look awkward if I start speed walking? 8:45:CAN’T…BREATHE…NEED…TO…GET…BIKE… 8:47:Okay, I’ll try to make as casual an entrance as possible. I’m only two minutes late. Someone told me my Writing 5 class would be pretty small but I bet everyone else was late too…if only my face weren’t so flushed from running… 8:48:Um, everyone elseishere….and the professor already started her PowerPoint. This is awkward. And where do I sit?? Okay, I’ll just say I’m sorry and avert eye contact… 8:49:There was homework posted on Canvas last night??? 8:50 AM:People are taking out their laptops….is that allowed?! Aren’t they going to get detention? 8:58:This class seems pretty good so far…wait, what does the syllabus say? WE HAVE A PAPER DUE IN TWO DAYS?! 9:00:Well, at least my professor and classmates seem nice. 9:02:Oh no – not another icebreaker. I can’t. 9:03:The guy next to me is from New Zealand and has an awesome accent. Maybe this class will be enjoyable after all. 9:06:Wait, what do I do if I have to go to the bathroom? Do I raise my hand? But that feels like I’m in kindergarten…I guess I’ll just wait. 9:10:Okay, I’m ready to go back to bed. 9:17:Does the professor notice me dozing off? 9:25:I can’t fall asleep in my first college class. When will my large coffee kick in?? 9:28:We still haveTWENTY-TWO more minutes??! This is agony! 9:35:I’m never taking a 9L again. 9:40:My professor let us out early. God bless her. I can’t wait to get back in bed…I still have almost three hours before my 12. College is amazing. 9:47:And…my roommate is still asleep. Unbelievable. Here’s hoping I have better luck in my 12…
We asked our Opinion Staff to reflect on Dartmouth's new "Citizenship Pledge."
Brown University:A Brown University online sexual assault education program was shut down after malicious hackers stole personal information from an associated web service, the Brown Daily Herald reported. The program, Agent of Change, and its web vendor, We End Violence, noticed a potential hack on Aug. 24 and proceeded shut down the website two days later. A press release from the vendor noted that information submitted directly to the website — usernames, passwords and associated demographic information — was compromised. Ravi Pendse, vice president for Computing and Information Services, confirmed that more damaging information like social security numbers was not lost, adding that an investigation into the incident has begun. Columbia University:A group of three students at Columbia University have won national acclaim after inventing an apparently simple but possibly life-saving health product, the Columbia Spectator reported. The product, Highlight, is a blue coloring added to various clear disinfectants that can show which areas of a target surface have been cleaned and which have not. The team has won Columbia’s Ebola Design Challenge and the USAID Fighting Ebola Grand Challenge and has integrated their product into the New York City Fire Department’s decontamination policies. Cornell University:On Friday, Cornell University announced a second round of changes to its sexual assault policy, the Cornell Sun reported. The amendment moves responsibility for the investigation of students’ Title IX complaints out of the Judicial Administrator’s Office and into the Workforce Policy Office. The changes are part of a movement to conform to a recent New York law titled “Enough is Enough,” which requires colleges to use an “affirmative consent” standard for assault and provide drug and alcohol amnesty for students reporting an assault, among other provisions. Harvard University:Spee Club, one of Harvard University’s finals clubs, may be the first of 13 clubs to go coed after inviting women to “punch,” or begin the process of joining the group, the Harvard Crimson reported. Spee Club is one of eight currently all-male final clubs at the university. The off-campus social groups have recently come under more scrutiny, the Crimson reported, due to concerns about sexism and the potential for sexual assault to occur on club premises. Princeton University:Nate Ruess, the former frontman of the band Fun., will perform at Princeton University for its fall “Lawnparties” festivities, along with Indie pop duo Holychild, the Daily Princetonian reported. While with Fun., Ruess topped the Billboard 100 with the song “We Are Young” (2011) and proceeded to start his solo career after the group disbanded in February. The choice of Ruess comes after controversy last spring around the selection of Big Sean for Lawnparties. Shorty after Big Sean’s April selection, a pair of students circulated a petition asking the student government to rescind the invitation because the artist’s lyrics allegedly support misogyny. University of Pennsylvania:A new program at the University of Pennsylvania will allow school administrators and athletics department staff members to ride along with Penn’s Division of Public Safety and observe the officers’ day-to-day interactions with Penn students and the greater Philadelphia community, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. The program was conceived to reframe administrators’ perception of the division and give an accurate portrayal of the work that officers do every day. Yale University:Abullah Kamel, a Yale University donor, has received criticism following Yale Law School student Omer Aziz’s recent column in the Huffington Post, “Wahhabism, Saudi Arabia and Their Gift to Yale,” which accuses Kamel and the Saudi Arabian government of being complicit in the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City. Kamel donated $10 million to establish the Abdallah S. Kamel Center for the Study of Islamic Law and Civilization at Yale Law School on Thursday, the Yale Daily News reported. Despite the controversy, professor and former dean Anthony Kronman maintained that Kamel and his gift were appropriately vetted.
The case against African and African American studies and English professor J. Martin Favor will moveto a grand jury, after Favor waived his right to a probable cause hearing on Monday. Favor was arrested on Sept. 4 for allegedly having videos of child pornography in his possession.
While this doesn’t apply to everyone, I think in my case, I don’t wish I knew anything more than I did. For me, the process of discovery of the amazing world available to me at Dartmouth has made me who I am, with revelations of holes in my knowledge and understanding individual discovery spurring me to learn more and develop into a better person. After three years here, I have a greater appreciation of everything in life than I could have ever possibly hoped for before. My only regret is that because this process has taken my three full years, I only have one year left to fully appreciate everything — so I’ll make the best of it that I can and encourage everyone else to do the same.
Dartmouth is the 12th best university in the nation, according to the 2016 U.S. News and World Report rankings released Sept. 9.
English and African American studies professor J. Martin Favor was arrested Thursday morning for the alleged possession of videos of children being sexually abused, the Valley News reported.
Mridul Khan, a graduate student in the computer science department, died on Sunday in Davis, California. He had been in the Bay Area for the summer to completean internship.
Dean of admissions and financial aid Maria Laskaris will leave her position for a role as special assistant to the provost for arts and innovation, the College announcedin a Thursday press release.
Before I break the news to you all, I’d like to start with a small disclaimer. I’m a reporter, perhaps the furthest thing from a doctor, and I haven’t taken one class that anyone could possibly spin as pre-med. I have, however, taken AP Bio, ridden in an ambulance and seen a solid 80 percent of “Grey’s Anatomy.” So let’s just say I feel pretty confident in my ability to both diagnose and invent a wide variety of illnesses and conditions. Take “Tinderitis,” for example.
During this hot and busy summer, students inboxes included several emails from the administration requesting that they minimize usage of lights, air conditioners and computers. The email does not state concerns about the environment — like one would expect — but rather, with lowering the College’s “annual cost.” Students, on Yik Yak and in conversation, have overwhelmingly expressed dissatisfaction. With students paying as much as $72,000 a year to attend Dartmouth, the request seems unreasonable.
Do you think Dartmouth students engage enough with the Upper Valley?
