Of course, with school spirit comes school swag. Even if you look like a slob, it has been proven that if you're wearing something with a Dartmouth logo on it, no one is allowed to confront you. But where do you draw the line with the logo? I investigated to find the 15 things that you never knew you needed the Dartmouth logo on.
I would really like to believe that as our first year at the College comes to a hurried close (yikes!), us ’18s have pretty much figured it out. We’ve got the lingo down, most of us can play a decent game of pong and we all own at least one article of Phil Hanlon paraphernalia. But I’ve found that beyond Lou’s, Stinson’s and CVS — also RIP College Supplies Store — most of us have no idea what else there is off-campus. I just found out that there’s a Subway in Hanover. When I asked a fellow ’18 if he had ever seen the Subway, he legitimately thought I was talking about an underground train system. What’s arguably even sadder than that is that most of us have never visited Hanover’s poster store, IDVD and Poster, which has a few unexpectedly great items.
In 1974, Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees denounced the use of “the Indians” to represent Dartmouth on the field. Forty years later, it’s hard to imagine Dartmouth’s official publications and athletic wear featuring the Indian mascot, and it’s even harder to think of a legitimate criticism of the Trustees’ decision. The persecution and forced assimilation of Native Americans relied upon the premise that Native Americans were savages who needed to be tamed. The use of Native Americans as a mascot for a predominantly white institution perpetuated the dehumanization of Native Americans and disrespected the hardship and cruelty that Native Americans have endured at the hands of white Europeans and Americans.
In the week before Commencement, we asked our graduating reporters and columnists to imagine returning to campus for their 25th reunion. Where would they see the most change? The strongest continuities?
During my college search, I focused on the more “frivolous” details of every school, much to my parents’ dismay. While they were attracted to the academic rigor of every institution, I cared more about the quality of the food, the size of the dorm rooms and each school’s minor quirks. Little known fact: I did not actually come to Dartmouth for its premier undergraduate teaching and small class sizes. I actually just yearned to run around a giant, fossil-fuel-emitting bonfire 117 times (or 17, but who’s counting?).
With the new, less conspicuous, spread-out Dimensions schedule, prospie spotting (covered in depth in a recent post by Samantha Webster ’15) is now more along the lines of "’18s, they're just like us" than akin to seeing a unicorn on campus. Regardless, there's something magical about beings who have yet to drink the green Kool-Aid. With that in mind, here are some questions I would like to ask the ’18s.
With less than a month left until the 42nd annual powwow, the 11 students on this year’s planning committee are wrapping up preparations for the program, which celebrates various Native American cultures through food, song, dance and drum. Based on previous attendance, around 1,500 people are expected to participate, making it the one of the largest student-run powwows in the Northeast.
Followed every step of the way by its new unofficial mascot named Axel, a stuffed Dartmouth bear sent by a fan, the club figure skating team took third place at the U.S. Figure Skating Intercollegiate Team Championships last weekend in Adrian, Mich.
A group of about 35 students from a range of campus communities entered College President Phil Hanlon’s office during his open office hours on Tuesday, stating their dissatisfaction to the administration’s March 6 reaction to the “Freedom Budget.” They demanded a point-by-point response to each of the student-authored document’s 70-plus demands for change regarding issues of diversity and inclusivity.
After about 45 minutes of discussion, College President Phil Hanlon left his Parkhurst office at about 5:15 p.m. Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson and Safety and Security director Harry Kinne urged students to leave the building at about 6:25 p.m. About five students remained in Hanlon's office at about 7 p.m., and about eight students remained in the Parkhurst atrium.
During Mentors Against Violence discussions at fraternities and sororities (and, beginning this term, other student organizations), facilitators run a brief circle exercise and ask students to, among other things, step forward if they have ever heard a peer tell a rape joke. In most cases, nearly all students present step forward. Facilitators then ask if they, after hearing said rape joke, voiced any objection to it. In most cases, no student steps forward. During the ensuing conversation about rape culture at Dartmouth, most students tend to agree that rape jokes are completely inappropriate. Why, then, do they fail to speak out when someone makes one?
College President Phil Hanlon and Interim Provost Martin Wybourne released a statement Thursday night responding to the “Freedom Budget” and outlining plans for increased diversity at the College, including changes to financial aid and programs to bring “diverse perspectives” to campus.
With spring break just around the corner, we know everyone’s thinking about that new bikini they ordered for Punta Cana and finally having time to catch up on “House of Cards.” But spring break also brings the start of March Madness. With Selection Sunday fewer than two weeks away, it’s time to make predictions, pick who will be this year’s Cinderella team and decide who’s the most trustworthy one in the friend group to organize the bracket pool.
Over 200 students, faculty and staff crowded into Collis Common Ground last night to discuss the “Freedom Budget,” a student-authored list of demands that aims to “eradicate systems of oppression as they affect marginalized communities on this campus” by prompting administrative action.
Creators of the "Freedom Budget" said they intended to initiate constructive discussion and social change. The document, which was emailed to campus early Monday morning, outlines a plan for “transformative justice” at Dartmouth, comprising over 70 bulleted demands addressed to 13 administrators.
Early Monday morning, a group of students released an eight-page document outlining over 70 specific proposals that aim to more equitably distribute power and resources on campus.
The Games:
When imagining a theater professor, I would not immediately think of Peter Hackett. Instead, I picture a man in a black turtleneck and beret, someone who sports the sort of mustache that belongs in an 18th century portrait and drops French words into every conversation. Or perhaps a tall, brooding woman with the stature of a stately praying mantis and a collection of wool cloaks that would put the whole cast of Harry Potter to shame. At the very least, I’d expect the professor to be wearing a monocle, a feather boa or some sort of dramatic accessory.
His dilated black pupils glare at viewers, seemingly daring them to continue staring while asking “Did I give you permission to look?” Composed from heavy strokes of black, brown, gray and red, Carlos Sanchez’s eyes remain just as haunting in his “Self-Portrait” as when the artist first painted the work in 1923 as a Dartmouth student.
