On Sunday, three students gathered in the Collis Center for Student Life for a workshop titled “Communicating Across Differences: Hopeful and Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in Divided Times.” The event, hosted by Dartmouth Dialogues, focused on how to engage in difficult conversations across political and social divides.
In the weeks leading up to — and following — November’s election day, I was constantly surrounded by conversations about New York City’s mayoral election, particularly in reference to Zohran Mamdani. As a native New Yorker, I obviously understood that people would be curious to hear about my opinions regarding the election and who I planned to vote for. What I did find confusing was how much non-New Yorkers seemed to care about — and felt their opinions should matter on — what was very much a local election. I know that Mamdani’s victory mattered. But we should stop extrapolating the New York City mayoral election to the rest of American politics.
On Jan. 7, New Hampshire House Republicans introduced H.B. 1793, the “Protecting College Students Act,” for a second time. The bill, introduced a few days before the Brown University shooting, strengthens the rights of students to keep a gun with them on public university campuses. The bill is divided into two main sections: a) it prohibits public institutions from enacting any policies restricting possession, carry, storage or lawful use of firearms or non-lethal weapons on campus, with no state or institutional permit/license being required for carry on campus, and b) enables anyone “aggrieved” to sue the institution and employees responsible for the violation with the available relief of injunction, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and minimum damages of $10,000 per action.
Re: Moyse: Bugonia, Inevitability and our Cultural Malaise
The Dartmouth is bringing back a biweekly print magazine. We will print our full Mirror Mag every other Wednesday, in addition to our regular newspaper on Friday. Our daily digital coverage will, of course, continue.
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
One of our previous Freak of the Week column questions posited a theory: that everyone in the world can be fit into two categories, a knight or a gnome. There are no concrete definitions for “knight” or “gnome,” and it’s purely an intuitive classification. Recently though, a cutting edge team of researchers at The Dartmouth came together to create a quiz that concretely determines whether one is a knight or a gnome.
Throughout the finals period, students trickle out in waves; first, a few suitcases roll down dorm halls, then entire floors become enveloped in silence. Sidewalks that are typically filled with late-night conversations, hurried footsteps and constant movement become quiet, then empty.
Hanover winter elicits a strange combination of feelings for me. As someone didn’t participate in winter sports growing up, Dartmouth in winter often feels like a playground. On any given day in the term, skiing, skating, sledding and more are at any student’s fingertips — so long as one is not drowning in assignments, social engagements and whatever else makes each week feel like a sprint.
Dear FoTW,
I always thought of Dr. Seuss as a guy who wrote children’s books. But at Dartmouth, his influence stretches well beyond that age range. With one short email, thousands of students spill onto the Green, armed with packed snow and winter cheer, ready for the annual snowball fight.
On Jan. 10, Dartmouth Dialogues, a program created by College President Sian Leah Beilock in 2024 to foster constructive dialogue on campus, celebrated its two-year anniversary.
On Jan. 11, at the first weekly Dartmouth Student Government meeting of the winter term, senators discussed the ongoing shuttle service to West Lebanon, an upcoming American Civil Liberties Union seminar regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and an emergency preparedness training event for students.
On Jan. 3, following months of the bombings of boats allegedly transporting drugs off the Venezuelan coast, United States special forces captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in an overnight raid on Caracas and brought him to trial in New York, N.Y. on narco-terrorism charges.
I was recently walking through Novack Café and saw a poster advertising a Hood Museum of Art screening of “Bugonia,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ new movie and an Oscars favorite this year. Seeing this poster profoundly disappointed me, because I believe that the film is symptomatic of a deep cultural malaise that has frozen almost all senses of possibility and action in amber.
“The strength and powers of despotism consist wholly in the fear of resisting it.”
Dartmouth has a storied relationship with the primary process here in New Hampshire. As a long-standing “first in the nation” primary state and well-known for bucking national trends, New Hampshire has had a disproportionate impact on federal politics in America. Thus, the nation turns its eyes on New Hampshire every election season, eager to have a glimpse of the electoral surprise the Granite State often seems to deliver.
In the six weeks when most Dartmouth students left campus, the women’s hockey team continued training and competing, now at 4-13-3 with 10 regular season games left in the season. The team traveled to Minnesota and Vermont, and hosted Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Union College, St. Michael’s College and Saint Anselm College at Thompson Arena.
When a student-athlete suffers a concussion, athletic trainers immediately notify academic support coordinators to arrange testing accommodations. Mental performance coaches reach out proactively. Nutritionists adjust fueling plans for upcoming travel. The 31-person Dartmouth Peak Performance team operates behind the scenes of every Big Green victory.
After a national search to replace outgoing men’s soccer head coach Bo Oshoniyi, Dartmouth Athletics announced on Dec. 19 that Connor Klekota will serve as the next Bobby Clark Head Coach of Men’s Soccer. A proven winner, having won national championships as a player and a coach, Klekota’s hiring comes at the end of a year in which Dartmouth’s men’s soccer program finished with a 3-8-3 record.
