Vahanvaty: A Group of Dartmouth Rockapellas Speaks on the May 1 Protest
(05/16/24 2:51pm)
As Dartmouth students and advocates for social justice, we are deeply disturbed by the recent events on our campus. On May 1, students gathered on the Green to peacefully protest Israel’s violence against Palestinians. College President Sian Leah Beilock’s administration chose to fight that peace with force, authorizing Hanover Police to take action against the protesters — which ultimately led to the presence of state troopers armed in riot gear and the arrests of 89 individuals. This response casts a shadow over the principles of free speech and student activism that we hold dear as members of the Dartmouth Rockapellas.
TTLG: Having the Final Word
(05/15/24 7:05am)
I’ve always avoided saying goodbye and instead resorted to the “Irish exit.” Whether it’s slipping out of parties when it feels too awkward to alert people of my discomfort, or darting out of class to avoid an awkward conversation with a professor, I have always preferred not saying goodbye. After all, I’ll see them again, right? But with my four years at Dartmouth ending in four weeks, my point of view on saying goodbye has changed.
Reflection: Dartmouth Essays That Worked
(05/15/24 7:15am)
Five years ago, I began my Common Application essay with the following sentence: “To quote Ferris Bueller, ‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.’ I don’t intend to miss my life.” Half a decade later, those words still ring true.
Markman: In Support of Beilock’s Decision to Maintain Order and Protect Students
(05/16/24 8:15am)
I praise College President Sian Leah Beilock for her decisive actions to maintain order and protect students on May 1. Beilock has done an incredible job balancing the First Amendment rights of protesters with the need to protect all members of the Dartmouth community and ensure all students are included in all areas of campus.

Orleck: From Buddhist Monks to Riot Police: A Reflection on the Last Week at Dartmouth
(05/10/24 8:20am)
Many of us were traumatized by the College’s decision to bring in police, including New Hampshire riot police and SWAT teams, to our quiet, rural campus on May 1. Dozens of faculty, including myself, concerned about our students’ safety, came to the Green. What I observed was a 100% peaceful demonstration supporting striking graduate and undergraduate student workers, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanding that the College divest from companies making or selling weapons to the Israeli military.

Editor’s Note
(05/08/24 7:00am)
No matter how much preparation or thought I put into it, every three weeks I find myself in Sanborn between the hours of 12 and 4 p.m., staring at a blank Word document, trying to start my editor’s note. Most of the time, it’s not even staring at a blank screen — it’s writing several opening paragraphs and deleting them, the modern (but much less satisfying) equivalent of scribbling on a piece of paper, crumpling it up and throwing it into an overflowing trash can. It’s calling my mom to see if she has any insights, or re-reading parts of old Lena Dunham essays to see if I can excise their millennial undertones and make them my own. Always, it’s trying to find a seed of meaning in a quirky anecdote that either happened last week or a decade ago. Yes, believe it or not, Mirror — and its editors — are, for the most part, exceedingly self-aware.

From Pen to Paper: How Students at Dartmouth Pursue Creative Writing
(05/01/24 7:05am)
While Dartmouth students have likely written more essays than they can count, many might have trouble remembering the last time they wrote for pleasure — to craft a story just for themselves. I personally love to write poetry but can never justify pausing in the middle of a problem set to pull out my journal. Making time for creative writing can be difficult at Dartmouth. As a result, some students find that joining writing-based clubs in college gives them a dedicated space for their passion.
