How many of you have walked home at 2 a.m. in freezing weather? Missed the last bus to Summit on Juniper and found yourself without a place to sleep? Woken up with the flu or some other mystery illness and needed a ride to Dick’s House — yet opting, without a car, to trek 15 minutes through the snow with tissues and cough drops falling from your pockets?
This winter term, the Palaeopitus Senior Society announced a partnership with the Office of Visa and Immigration Services to support undergraduate students applying for B-2 tourist visas for international family members to attend Commencement.
On Feb. 18, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy hosted Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., for a conversation about bipartisanship and the Democratic Party.
In the spirit of the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the “White Lotus” season premiere — “Same Spirits, New Forms” — delivers exactly what its title promises. For those unfamiliar, the “spirit” of the White Lotus television series centers around a luxury resort enterprise functioning as a cultural refuge for the hyper-rich. Far from broke, the Emmy award-winning first and second seasons of “White Lotus” cemented themselves in the zeitgeist as a satirical exploration of America’s ever-expanding wealth gap. Each season thus far has transformed the serene utopia of a Four Seasons property into a crime scene where everything that can go wrong, does, and where somebody innocent is sure to end up dead.
On Feb. 10, the FUERZA Farmworkers’ Fund, a mutual aid fund that supports farmworkers in rural Vermont and New Hampshire, and La Casa co-hosted a panel featuring Mexican women’s rights activist Olimpia Coral Melo. In 2021, Melo spearheaded advocacy for Mexico’s first law outlawing digital violence — also known as “revenge porn,” according to Melo — against women.
In recent years, our campus has been infected by what I have dubbed the “Wall Street Plague.” Each year, it seems like more and more students fall to the prospect of a career in finance — putting aside dreams of saving the world for the promise of late-night spreadsheets and lucrative pay days. This shift is backed up by the data: According to a 2006 survey of graduating seniors, 26% of Dartmouth’s graduating class was planning to pursue a career in the financial services sector. Nearly two decades later, in 2023, the percentage of graduating students working in finance during their first fall after graduation had risen to 33%, according to the Center for Professional Development.
Last quarter, a stump on the corner of the Green at the intersection of Main Street and West Wheelock Street became a bit of a campus sensation after a student fixed a Lorax plushie to it. Above the stuffed toy, a sign read the iconic words: “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.” The stunt was a fun example of our student body’s humor, but it may also have been trying to tell us something more. If the Lorax could speak for the Dartmouth trees, what would he say? His message might be pretty concerning.
At a media event on Feb. 14, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center chief research officer Steven Bernstein said funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump’s administration could “severely hinder” research at Dartmouth and DHMC.
On Feb. 15, the Dartmouth Undergraduate Science Olympiad, which was founded last fall, hosted more than 200 New England high school students in the Life Sciences Center for its first Science Olympiad. During the student-run science competition, contestants each participated in two to four events out of 24 total events, including written tests, lab experiments and engineering activities, according to chapter president Sarah Parigela ’27.
When I think about my past nights out on campus, my cherished memories are accompanied by a musical soundtrack. There’s a reason why I had LF System’s “Afraid to Feel” stuck in my head all last winter, and why this year I can’t stop singing the main chorus from the NOTION remix of Chrystal’s “The Days.” These rhythms served as the backdrop to nights spent in a sweaty fraternity, packed into a room dancing with friends or a now-gone situationship. Whether bringing on a wave of nostalgia, releasing negative emotions, building shared bonds among friends or becoming incessant earworms, the sounds of Dartmouth — particularly those playing in fraternity basements — never seem to quiet themselves.
When I think about it for too long, the idea of originality makes me a little nauseous. In a fit of nostalgia — and a desire to procrastinate studying for an exam — I reread my Common Application essay earlier this week, which centered around the feeling that everything I write was destined to be a worse version of something that’s already been created.
In February, wintry weather is unavoidable at Dartmouth — from the freezing temperatures to the snow-filled walkways, the cold is sure to follow wherever you go. While some students respond by hunkering down indoors, students in BIOL 61, “End of Winter: Winter Ecology,” are instead choosing to brave the cold.
For some students, Dartmouth is best viewed through the lens of a camera. Whether capturing a campus event, the seasons of New Hampshire or classroom life, student photographers get to document the College’s history in real time — and share their work with students, alumni and prospective applicants across the world.
On Feb. 16, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met over Zoom, due to inclement weather, for its sixth weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, senators discussed — and ultimately passed — two amendments to the DSG constitution.
It’s no secret that college students have a problem with sleep. Whenever I tell my friends I am going to bed at midnight, they are surprised and claim that it is “early.” Several of my peers have reported hearing neighbors’ conversations from their hallways late into the night, including on weeknights. Leaving the library late at night, I pass numerous students still studying, typing away at their computers with their eyes barely open. Whenever I ask other Dartmouth students “How are you?”, the two most common answers I receive are “good” and “tired.” This isn’t just reflected in my personal experience — it’s borne out in the facts. According to the National Institutes of Health, over 70% of college students admit to getting less than the recommended eight hours of sleep per day. Sixty percent describe themselves as “dragging, tired or sleepy” at least three days of the week. This is understandable, seeing as college consists of a substantial amount of daily work, paired with large swaths of free time. The result is that students have considerable discretion over what they choose to spend their time on — and many often use it unwisely.
On Feb. 10, the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding and Dartmouth Dialogues co-hosted Egyptian journalist and author Ahmed Naji for an event titled “The Power of Literature and Free Expression in the Middle East.” In 2016, Naji was imprisoned in Egypt for “violating public decency” in his 2014 novel “Using Life” — which tells the story of young people in Cairo creating a series of documentary films and depicts LGBTQ+ people and explicit scenes.
On Feb. 13, the Office of Greek Life and Student Societies hosted author, educator and social theorist Jackson Katz for a lecture about preventing gender-based violence on college campuses, with a focus on Greek spaces. The event, which was organized in conjunction with the Equal Opportunity, Accessibility and Title IX Office, the Office of Pluralism and Leadership and the Student Wellness Center, was held in Collis Common Ground and drew approximately 80 attendees, according to associate director of Greek Life Mishka Murad.
On Feb. 6, Upper Valley Jewish Voice for Peace and the Palestine Solidarity Coalition co-hosted author and political commentator Peter Beinart to discuss his newly released book, “Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza.” Due to inclement weather, the event was held remotely over Zoom.
Across campus, you might notice students trekking through the snow with heavy camera equipment or hunkering down to edit footage in the Black Family Visual Arts Center. To conclude their majors, seniors studying film and media studies must complete “a project related to their experience” in the department, according to the department website. Students can pursue a variety of options for their “culminating experience,” including animations, critiques, research, screenplays and short films.
The buzzer sounded, and the crowd went wild. Leede Arena filled with the sound of whistles as an exuberant crowd rose to its feet to give the Dartmouth men’s basketball team a well-deserved standing ovation. The team’s incredible win over the Cornell University Big Red was assured.
