At the Hanover Selectboard meeting on Monday, members wrestled with Republican New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s recent ban on sanctuary cities and voted to hold a public hearing on the matter on Nov. 3.
Dear Freak of the Week,
The weather has been strange lately; too warm for October, too bright for this late in the year. Each weekend feels borrowed from summer, the air stubbornly refusing to cool. I walk to class through heat that smells faintly like sunscreen and pavement, and I can’t help feeling like the season has overstayed its welcome. The world seems confused about what it’s supposed to be.
Whether we first encounter them while sweatily hauling boxes up to our dorms during move-in or at a floor meeting on the first night of New Student Orientation, our house-mates’ faces are likely the first ones we see on campus.
The leaves are turning, the wind is whispering and Halloween draws near. As a first-year from South Carolina, a state whose climate is affectionately called “the armpit of the South,” I’ve never lived through a true fall. Because of this, I have an incredibly romantic view of the season. So, in preparation for baby’s first fall, I took a tour of local pumpkin-flavored foods. Fall-elujah!
Re: Israeli hostage describes time in captivity during Chabad and Hillel event
Regional campaign manager for the ACLU of New Hampshire Taylor Maine covered “basic rights” in encounters with immigration officers in a “Know Your Rights” session at Filene Auditorium on Oct. 2. The session comes amid a “surge of immigration enforcement” by the Trump administration, including the deployment of federal agents into several cities.
On Friday, community members gathered in front of the Hanover Inn to demonstrate against the Trump administration, with several citing concerns over the administration’s potential deal with Dartmouth.
In an open Dartmouth Student Government meeting on Oct. 5, senior vice president for community and campus life Jennifer Rosales said “some parts” of the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” may “go against some” of the College’s current “policies and missions,” such as those around academic freedom.
Dartmouth is among the nine campuses “invited” last week to preview the Trump administration’s latest protection racket: The federal government has promised that colleges that sign the compact will receive “preferential treatment” for federal funds, most of which the government is already required by law to provide to universities. In response, College President Sian Leah Beilock has promised us that she will “always defend our fierce independence.” While heartening, her message did not pledge to reject the compact. This pledge is what we are asking for now, urgently. At stake is open-ended federal control over the form and content of higher education, expressed in nakedly ideological terms.
In the aftermath of the GOP’s decisive victory in 2024, I wrote a column arguing that Democrats could appeal to working-class voters again by embracing big government populism and targeting the ultra-rich ruling class as the root of the layman’s problems. Since then, Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in the New York City mayoral primaries seems to have indicated a shifting tide in Democratic party politics in favor of this exact form of populism. Some have been quick to point to Mamdani’s recent victory as proof that this is the party’s future; writing for The New York Times, historian Timothy Shenk recently declared economic populism the winning strategy for Democrats, citing the key to Mamdani’s victory as “a scorching economic message delivered by political outsiders standing up to the powerful.”
In a press release this morning, the Hanover Police Department announced that markings reported on Sept. 27 outside of a Jewish student’s room in New Hampshire Hall were “likely not a swastika.”
On Sept. 27, Dartmouth women’s rugby team lost to Harvard 36-33 in a close match at Brophy Field.
Unforced errors and turnovers killed Dartmouth’s momentum in their 36-24 loss to the University of Pennsylvania on Oct. 4.
Mia Nelson ’22 will publish her debut poetry collection, “I’ve Never Loved Somebody and Made Them Worse” on Oct. 15. Set against the backdrop of New England, Nelson dives into the turmoil of young love, loss and self-discovery through rich language and literary allusions. Novelist Daisy Alpert Florin described Nelson’s work as “an intimate and sensuous collection exploring the many permutations of love.”
Judith Raanan, an American woman captured and held hostage by Hamas for 17 days, described her “unimaginable” experiences in captivity in an event at Steele Hall on Sept. 30.
Out on Lake Mascoma, the Dartmouth sailing team is writing a new chapter in its storied history, one helmed by the Ivy League’s first female head coach and fueled by 11 sailors, the program’s largest freshman class since 2021.
After tucking in her fifth birdie putt in the first round of the Red Bandana Invitational in Canton, Mass., Sophia Li ’29 walked to the 18th hole with a gargantuan five-stroke lead. After a par on the final hole, Li finished with a -4 for the round, the lowest first-round score in Dartmouth women’s golf history. She held onto her lead to finish with an impressive +1 score across the three rounds, winning the Invitational in her first college tournament.
The men’s soccer team took on Brown University away in Providence, R.I., on Saturday for their Ivy League opener. Despite a late goal from the Big Green, the Bears held on for a 2-1 win, a reverse scoreline of last year’s match between the teams.
Grayson Saunier ’27 has been lighting it up on the gridiron in his first season as the starting quarterback for Dartmouth football. His intensity and top-tier athleticism have been noticeable in his first two starts. The junior gunslinger is coming off a huge win at Central Connecticut State University, where he threw for 407 passing yards and two clutch touchdowns, including a game-sealing bomb with seconds on the clock to put Dartmouth ahead.
