Following at 10.7 increase in early decision applications in 2014, the College has seen a 2 percent increase over last year’s number of applicants, according to an email sent to alumni interviewers. Last year’s 1,859-person applicant pool was the largest in College history, so this year’s applicant pool passes that record.
College is a time when people's political views separate from those of their parents. They branch out, experiment with new ideologies and authors and eventually form ideas of their own. A person who comes into college a conservative may leave an ardent left-winger, but someone who enters as a moderate liberal may end up a conservative. So how will college treat your views? See where you were when you entered and follow the flowchart to determine your ideological destiny.
For my last review of the term (!!!), I’m shamelessly plugging one of my favorite acts, HOLYCHILD. The electro-pop duo out of California recently released their first full-length album, “The Shape of Brat Pop to Come” (2015). The two define themselves as “brat pop,” which (as far as I can tell) is a combination of upbeat tracks and perturbing lyrics. “Brat pop” is energetic, there are no slow jams or ballads on the album, but it has a dark bite to it. The staccato electronics warble and sharp, occasionally clipped vocals evoke a seedy, wired underworld.
Wow — where has this term gone? My final fall has come to its final days as I prepare for final papers and final exams. Finally.
All Dartmouth students and faculty in Paris for the French foreign study program are safe, College spokesperson Diana Lawrence confirmed.
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!
Novack Dinners: If you get there before they run out of Moe’s, it’s less grim?
Last night, hundreds of students stood outside Dartmouth Hall and chanted, “Black Lives Matter” in unison. These students marched around campus, imploring others to join them. At times, the demonstrating students singled out individuals — individuals who, they said, were failing to support their movement and their lives. Some were offended by this method.
Rose: Something positive about the past year.
The Hanover Police Department is investigating reports that Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity hazed its new members, College spokesperson Diana Lawrence confirmed Thursday night. The College is cooperating with both Hanover Police's and SAE national's separate investigations.
On a gloomy Monday evening, we headed to FoCo to taste test the grossest looking foods being served that night. It was a particularly grim evening, and we had a lot to try — although sadly most of the foods we tried were just as gross (if not more so) than they looked. We left FoCo with our hunger notsatiated and our minds reeling from the disgust we felt at the sight of such vulgar foods. The Soup
Brown University: The Number, a new delivery startup recently developed by three undergraduates, is already gaining popularity on campus, The Brown Daily Herald reported. The business, which went live on Monday after weeks of research and promotion, allows students to text a specified number and have anything within a certain radius delivered to them. Students must pay full price for the goods, plus an additional fee of $3.50, subject to increases during times of high demand. Columbia University: The search for student Austin Taylor, who went missing on Nov. 2, has been called off, according to The Columbia Daily Spectator. The detective working on the case informed Taylor’s parents that his passport was scanned in Paris, and Taylor’s mother subsequently announced that they are ending the search. Cornell University: Black Students United, a student-run advocacy group, entered University President Elizabeth Garrett’s office this week to submit a letter demanding that the University divest its endowment from interests based in mass incarceration and prisons. The organization was inspired by a similar protest at Columbia University, The Cornell Daily Sun reported. Harvard University: Harvard has begun a formal review of the construction blueprint for its new School of Engineering and Sciences complex, the Harvard Crimson reported. The plan involves two-thirds of the SEAS faculty moving to a new location in Allston, Massachusetts. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2016. Princeton University: Two of the campus’s tiger statues, the University’s mascot, have recently been vandalized, along with the cannon on Cannon Green, The Daily Princetonian reported. The perpetrators used red paint to cover the statues with expletives and graffiti aimed at the University and Pennsylvania State University. The perpetrators have not yet been identified. University of Pennsylvania: The University was recently ranked number 57 on a Vice list of the most militarized universities in the United States, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. The ranking considered the number of graduating students that go into the U.S. Intelligence Community and various other factors like funding amounts and participation in federal domestic security task forces. Yale University: More than 1,000 students gathered in solidarity in the midst of recent discussions and controversy about race relations at the University, the Yale Daily News reported. The event, called the March of Resilience, was centered around discussions of unity and student power, and also included musical and cultural performances.
This a story about my first and last visit to the London Eye. I'm warning you now: it's going to be uncomfortable. I want you to feel as uncomfortable reading this post as I felt while locked in a capsule 400 feet above the ground with an elderly woman strapped to my right arm. After an incredibly exhausting week of midterm exams, course election and a stomach bug that had my face stuck in the toilet bowl for more hours than I care to cover, I decided to treat myself to a weekend trip to London. I had absolutely zero plans, zero friends and zero white blood cells, so as soon as I reached my hotel in South Kensington, I found a map and went to work planning my next few days. I naively googled "Places to see in London," and was immediately inundated with pictures of Big Ben, the Tower Bridge and the British Museum (I was alsogracedwith pictures of a balding middle-aged man posing provocatively in aleather Union Jack bikini).
In honor of women's rugby's inaugural season as a varsity sport — and the Ivy League championship they clinched last weekend — here's the tagline for the club from a 1980s issue of The Dartmouth. "Elegant violence" is such an enticing tagline — I imagine that this helped the then-club sport on their way to their current success.
After spending countless hours scouring all three streets in Hanover that have restaurants on them, I came to realize that I’d exhausted most of the options this town had to offer. So I expanded my horizons to include Lebanon — it’s a bustling metropolis, relatively speaking. It’s not often I get off campus, so even the 15-minute drive that did not require a single turn felt refreshingly exotic. I might even venture out of state some time soon just for the rush. My destination was a place I hoped would be a hidden gem. It certainly met the “hidden” qualification, tucked in the back of a strip mall dubbed “The Miracle Mile.” I ordered takeout (it is week nine after all — don’t pretend I have time for things), but I found the ambience pleasant during the five minutes I waited at the bar. The restaurant is reminiscent of a very colorful diner—both clean and well lit.
We asked our opinion staff: "How will the new house communities affect Dartmouth?"
Last Monday, the College unveiled its plan for the six house communities that students will be sorted into beginning next fall. I, however, would like to focus on one major part of this plan that went largely unnoticed — the two temporary buildings that will be built as “living room spaces” for the communities as other residence halls’ social spaces are renovated. The first temporary building will be constructed between Gile and Hitchcock Halls and is referred to by the College as a “modular building,” which according to Wikipedia looks something like this:
In the “Moving Dartmouth Forward” external review panel’s first report, all policy initiatives were deemed “goal met,” “continuing” or “ongoing” with one exception — the creation of an online consent manual is “behind schedule.”
