This is my second installment of Beyond the Bubble so naturally I'm feeling pressured to change things up for my readership (which currently consists of my editors, my sister and my estranged cousin whose Facebook profile pic is a slug with a thought bubble that reads "I didn't choose the slug life, the slug life chose me").
On Monday — the federal holiday Columbus Day — posters advertising apparel featuring the Dartmouth Indian appeared in various residence halls on campus. Today, Provost Carolyn Dever and Dean of the College Rebecca Biron co-signed an email to campus condemning the flyers, calling the act of distributing them around campus “cowardly and disrespectful.”
Here are some Dartmouth students’ Texts From Last Night:
Are you fruity? Do you have an earthy bouquet and a hint of clove? Can the discerning taster detect within you subtle banana notes? Are you ready and waiting to be poured into someone's mouth from overhead? Take this quiz and find out (which boxed wine you are).
Pumpkin Spice Lattes: They’re back, betches.
The time has come: Homecoming is finally upon us. And at Dartmouth that means that tonight the upperclassmen will gather around a massive, burning pyre shout “Touch the fire!” as the freshman class runs around it. Nothing oddly satanic about that. Not at all. If you’re a ’19, that also means you now have two important tasks ahead of you: touching the fire and running around it 119 times. It’s basically a question of speed or endurance — take your pick. If you’re not already in good enough shape to complete all 119 laps, that sounds like a personal problem — not much we can do for you. However! Touching the fire? That’s something everyone’s invested in, what we’re all there to see and an area where we can offer you some real advice. So ‘19s, read through this guide on how to touch the fire, devise your plan and do us proud – lest you continue to be labeled the “worst class ever.” 1. Know why you’re touching the fire. You need to understand why you’re doing it. I believe they say the same thing about rush. You need to have a good reason to run straight for middle of a blazing inferno and stick your hand in it. I believe they say the same thing about rush.
Brown University:
In this Homecoming special issue, The Dartmouth examines mental health on campus. The phrase “mental health” has increasingly become a synonym for depression, anxiety and general stress — and we often forget about the host of other mental illnesses and chronic conditions that people face. Despite being less visible, mental well-being goes hand-in-hand with other factors that shape our lives — our sex, gender, race, class and sexual orientation — as well as our pasts, particularly for those who have experienced sexual or other violence.
In a story from the early 1980s, the Dartmouth covers how the school is consuming less Schlitz beer in favor of Anheuser-Busch products. What really stood out, however, is the photo below of the coolest vanity plate in the USA. Stinson's probably didn't hire a brand consultant for this one, but they certainly know their market.
Brown University: A proposal for a winter term of classes was presented by the deans of Brown University to its faculty this past Tuesday, the Brown Daily Herald reported. According to Dean of College Maud Mandel, the winter session will feature “a handful of intense, creative experimental courses in January” spanning three weeks and will “allow for intensive and highly focused courses, like studio classes in art and music or deep training in the usage of some sort of particular scientific or engineering instrument or method.” Columbia University: In a similar vein to national campaigns working to raise the federal minimum wage, students at Columbia are pushing to raise the minimum work-study pay has been raised to $15 an hour. The group, called the Student-Worker Solidarity, is also working to give work-study students the option of receiving a grant to cover unpaid internship opportunities. Previously the range for work-study positions ranged from $9 to $20 an hour.
It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times: Homecoming.
Within 18 hours of landing in Paris, I received a text from my best friend asking if I was already hammered. Needless to say, I wasn't nearly as inebriated as she wished I were. Instead I had spent hours scavenging for WiFi and weeping over a simultaneously stale and soggy baguette sandwich because AIRPORT SECURITY STOLE MY NEW SNEAKERS.
Last spring, Ham — short for Hambleton — Sonnenfeld ‘16 was walking past Rollins Chapel when he noticed an animal in distress.
Before I begin this week’s column about cake pops, I should reveal an important disclaimer here — I do not normally eat cake pops. For whatever reason, I don’t really like them! I think they’re are overrated, and I’m not a fan of the overly sugary frozen frosting. Both the flavor and texture of the frosting does nothing for my taste buds, and if I want cake, I will eat cake. Not a cake pop. My aversion for cake pops started at a young age. I think it was largely caused by repeated mishaps with other foods presented vertically — ice cream in cones (I always order cups), kabobs, corn dogs — none of them really do it for me, and their fragility does not help.
A lot of things have happened since Angel Haze last released a full-length album in 2013. In the past two years, Haze has publicly come out as agender and left the record label that helped them put out their last album, “Dirty Gold” (2013). The break from the record label is evident in Haze’s new album “Back to the Woods” (2015). “Dirty Gold” was polished and surprisingly pop-heavy for an artist who originally rose to fame on the strength of songs such as “Werkin Girls.” It was very much the studio’s album whereas this new effort is quite clearly guided and shaped by Haze. The beats are darker, and the lyrics are more emotionally honest than ever. Many of the feel-good platitudes and hooks from “Dirty Gold” are inverted or eschewed.
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!
Anything and Chill: Xfinity and Chill?
This week, College President Phil Hanlon announced that the Geisel School of Medicine will restructure in response to budgetary problems. Administrators aim to reduce the medical school’s $26 to 28 million annual deficit by diverting funds from the medical school’s weaker programs to its stronger ones.
The responses to the Association of American Universities campus climate survey certainly put the College above national norms or expectations regarding sexual assault awareness and reaction. Our campus is known to have a high incidence of sexual assault — this could either mean that we have more assaults than other schools or that assaults on our campus are reported more often than elsewhere. Either way, the recent survey responses prove that Dartmouth students, on average, are relatively more receptive to and likely to take action in the case of sexual assault or misconduct. These statistics and our status in relation to national averages, however, cannot make us complacent or distract us from our mission. Just because we are doing better than other schools does not mean we are doing well. Just because our students are more aware of, more likely to act on and even more likely to report sexual assault or misconduct, does not mean that we have reached our goal. We need to force ourselves to act without regard to our relative status. Receptiveness and awareness of sexual assault is not another Ivy League numbers game. It is not about competing with schools across the nation — it is about competing with ourselves. The survey gives us a good perspective on where we are, but it should not distract from where we are aiming to be.
