The Dartmouth Climate Collaborative — announced on April 22 — signifies a major step forward in the College’s response to climate change. The College has committed to investing more than $500 million into reducing carbon emissions, while also kickstarting other projects to reduce emissions and raise awareness about climate change. This policy change exists because of the hard work of organizations like the Sustainability Office and because students have never stopped demanding more from Dartmouth. As such — while we should celebrate the achievements of this plan — we must continue to push for more. Although College President Sian Leah Beilock proclaims that “the time for bold action is now,” the truth is that Dartmouth’s climate response is not nearly bold enough, failing to prioritize climate and environmental justice.

On April 7, six Dartmouth students competed in person and online at the New England Olympiada of Spoken Russian at Harvard University, a one-day event for students to demonstrate their Russian-speaking abilities. The competition invites students of various Russian language proficiency levels from colleges across New England to either perform monologues in-person or submit recordings of poem recitations and songs online, according to the organization’s website. All entries were required to fall under this year’s theme, "Мир книг/World of books.”

I’d like to play a quick game. I’m going to give you four satirical headlines, and you tell me which ones were pulled from The Onion and which were generated by artificial intelligence.

Last week, rather than fretting over busy schedules and overwhelming classes, my best friends and I spent Sunday night in Randolph, New Hampshire, preparing for the totality of Monday’s solar eclipse.

On their Instagram page, student band Exit 13 comedically bills itself as “the best Dartmouth band named after a highway exit.” Since its founding in the summer of 2022, Exit 13 has progressively become a musical mainstay on Dartmouth’s campus. The band is slated to play nine shows this term – the most shows they have ever played in a single quarter – from typical fraternity concerts to live shows at local venues. The group is also practicing to compete in the Programming Board’s Battle of the Bands on April 27. If they win, they will perform an opening set at Green Key in May.

At Dartmouth, where students have to juggle courses for their majors, minors and distributions, it’s common for them to want to lighten their termly course loads with a “layup” — a class considered to be relatively easy. In order to find “layups,” students have historically used the course assessment tool Layup List, a website where peers can evaluate courses by leaving reviews of the professors who taught them. With Layup List, students can input their grade in a course, provide a review, indicate whether a course is “good” and vote on its “layup” status — in other words, whether or not it’s an easy A.

The world seems, broadly speaking, pretty bleak at the moment. The looming threat of climate change continues to be a massive, ineffectively addressed problem, authoritarian regimes continue to suppress citizens and there’s an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Problems persist at home, where we see continued concerns over gun violence, persistent income inequality and legislation that punishes queer people for existing. For the average Dartmouth student, this reality is not only terrifying, but also exhausting. When met with such seemingly insurmountable pain and strife, many people’s natural instinct is to throw their hands up in defeat. But that reaction is wrong.

One of the most impactful moments in my first year at Dartmouth was former Rep. Liz Cheney’s “An Oath to Defend Democracy” event, hosted on June 5 and sponsored by the Dartmouth Political Union, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Dickey Center for International Understanding. Even before Rep. Cheney took the floor, I was struck and confused by a moment between her and Rep. Annie Kuster ’78, who also attended the event — the two representatives embraced each other as true friends, despite opposing political ideals.

“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach,” Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe argued during the Virginia gubernatorial debate in October 2021. It was this line that likely cost McAuliffe the election. The Republican candidate Glen Youngkin seized on McAuliffe’s words, launching a series of attack ads aimed at mobilizing angry parents. Following the debate and subsequent ads, new polling showed Youngkin leading by 17 points among parents of K-12 children — a demographic that was crucial to his election win. The 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election provides evidence that parents feel strongly about the importance of their role in deciding how their children are educated.

Take a stroll around the first floor of Baker-Berry Library on the day that courses drop and you will find Dartmouth students comparing schedules, reading Layup List — a website that offers course and professor reviews — and furiously browsing online for classes to fulfill their graduation requirements. For many, the jigsaw puzzle of finishing your major alongside the litany of distributive requirements is an unwelcome chore. Why should an engineering student “waste” a credit on an English course? In turn, why should an English student be forced to take a class in physics or chemistry?

When I first received my acceptance to Dartmouth in 2022, my brothers insisted that I watch “Animal House,” the 1978 classic film which is notoriously based on the College. After I finally watched the movie, I felt slightly apprehensive about my college choice. Was this grotesque depiction of debauchery — food fights, stealing test answers and threats of expulsion — an accurate reflection of Dartmouth’s campus culture?
