The sixth annual Omondi Obura Peak Bag fundraiser for suicide prevention on Oct. 7 set a record this year, raising approximately $80,000. Close to 1,000 community members participated in the outdoors event, which made more than three times last year’s total, organizers said.
From 11:00 p.m. on Oct. 6 to 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 7, five Palestine Solidarity Coalition members wrote the names and ages of children killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, filling the sidewalks surrounding the Green, Dartmouth Hall, Parkhurst Hall and McNutt Hall.
On Oct. 6, thirty-three Dartmouth students completed the Dartmouth Outing Club Fifty, a roughly 54 mile hike from Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to campus. Nine teams of four participated in the biannual hike, and at least one student from every team finished, according to co-director Chloe Buschmann ’27.
Over a year ago, Dartmouth College leadership called in police to arrest 89 students, faculty and community members during a protest calling for divestment from Israel, claiming it was enforcing a policy against erecting encampments. The decision sharply divided the community, leading to faculty censuring College President Sian Leah Beilock and the student body voting “no-confidence” in her leadership. After this wave of discontent, in December 2024 the College formulated its “institutional restraint” policy, limiting the administration and academic departments to only making statements “when confronted with issues directly relating to Dartmouth’s mission.”
Theodor Geisel, better known by his pen name Dr. Seuss, is an illustrious figure in Dartmouth’s history. A legendary illustrator, cartoonist, medical school namesake and children’s author, the member of the Class of 1925 had a lengthy and fruitful career spanning eight decades.
The College canceled the annual Homecoming bonfire because of a statewide outdoor burn ban, according to an Oct. 3 email from interim dean of undergraduate student affairs Anne Hudak. Instead, the College will host a light and laser show with music performed by student DJs.
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.”
