This past week, community members rang in the Year of the Horse with Lunar New Year celebrations across campus. From Feb. 14 through Feb. 19, student organizations held events including a traditional dragon dance at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, dumpling making and karaoke at the Chinese Language House.
This year, various Upper Valley localities have reported road salt shortages, according to Hanover director of public works Peter Kulbacki. Hanover, however, was adequately equipped to deal with this year’s winter due to a pre-treatment brine solution and a stockpile of salt from previous years, according to Kulbacki.
As part of The Dartmouth’s coverage of the upcoming 2026 midterm and gubernatorial elections, the paper continues its interview series, “A Sit-Down with The Dartmouth,” featuring in-depth conversations with major national and statewide candidates in New Hampshire.
Dear Freak of the Week,
In case you haven’t heard, it’s that point in winter term where everyone is sick, unhappy and wants to go home, but we still have a month left before spring break. Not a great picture.
This past weekend, one of my friends celebrated her 22nd birthday. She planned a dinner with her parents, followed by a Valentine’s Day-themed celebration in our off-campus apartment before going out for the night. Around 10:45 p.m., we were all still happily chatting and eating chocolate-covered strawberries in our living room. We were tempted to call it a night, but given the birthday occasion, we decided we must venture out into the cold and head to the frats.
In many ways, Hanover is a quintessential New England town. It has an ivy-covered town hall, a white-steeple church and bells that ring at six o’clock. However, if you take a tour around the Upper Valley, you may notice one recurring New England staple that Hanover lacks: the general store.
When I saw a fellow ’29 dump spices from the spice rack into a plastic Green-2-Go container, I asked why she was pillaging the spice rack. She explained that she was foraging ingredients from the dining hall to make an apple crisp. Inspired by her, and craving something that was neither cafeteria nor take-out, I ventured out into the melting February snow with a Green-2-Go container to see if I too could make my own delicious homemade — dorm-made? — food.
A survey by Juris Education, a national law school admissions consulting firm I co-founded after graduating from Dartmouth, brought to light a paradox: nearly 40% of pre-law students said they weren’t comfortable sharing sensitive, mental‑health information with artificial intelligence chatbots, yet 13% of them were doing it anyway. Does this point to the ubiquitous nature of AI as an easily available crutch for students’ emotional struggles? Or is it an outcome of the lack of professional human help available to students on campus?
GPS made our lives easier by saving time spent tracing a map. Search engines made our lives easier by saving time spent searching for books at a library. Is artificial intelligence simply the next step in this sequence of helpful technologies? This year’s slate of Super Bowl commercials certainly tried to make the case.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau released last month showed that New Hampshire’s population is aging and its birth rate is declining. From voting patterns to challenges around funding schools, this will have impacts across the state in the years to come. To better understand these changes, The Dartmouth sat down with University of New Hampshire sociology professor Kenneth Johnson.
On Feb. 9, after declining to leave an office building in Williston, Vt. that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center, 11 people, including Roan Wade ’25 and Geisel School of Medicine professor Donald Kollisch, were arrested on misdemeanor trespassing charges.
On March 23, the College will launch a new course election platform, Courses @ Dartmouth, according to a presentation given by the Registrar’s Office at a Feb. 1 Dartmouth Student Government meeting. School of Arts and Sciences registrar Eric Parsons wrote in a statement to The Dartmouth that Courses @ Dartmouth will allow students to view course offerings, access detailed class information and use a shopping cart function to allow students to create schedules before enrollment opens.
Dartmouth men’s basketball, who led by as much as 12 points, collapsed in the second half to fall to Brown 79-76 on Feb. 14.
Delby Lemieux ’26 is no stranger to the spotlight, but he has a unique opportunity to fulfill a dream every young football player has: Being drafted into the NFL. Lemieux, a senior captain and former All-Ivy offensive lineman, was selected to compete in the Senior Bowl, a national, annual showcase for the best senior football players. This selection is a step toward being drafted into the NFL. Despite the accompanying pressure as well as a position change from left tackle to center, Lemieux approached the rigorous week with optimism and an open mind, leaving with an impressive performance according to several accounts. The Dartmouth sat down with Lemieux to talk about the process leading up to this game as well as how he feels heading into the home stretch, with the NFL Draft scheduled for late April.
“The Testament of Ann Lee” refuses to be defined by a single genre. At once a historical drama, a psychological portrait and a folk musical, the film is powerful because it transcends definition. As a rigorous, historically anchored portrait of Shaker religious life, it is epic without losing its intimacy and immersive without becoming indulgent.
In Clint Bentley’s “Train Dreams,” the tumult of the early 20th century collides with one man’s desire to lead a simple life in the American West. Based on Denis Johnson’s novella and nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Bentley reunited with screenwriter and director Greg Kwedar to co-write this film after their collaboration on “Sing Sing” in 2023. “Train Dreams” follows Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), an American railroad laborer from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who grows up witnessing the dramatic impacts of mass industrialization and World War I. Nevertheless, he will die unconcerned with the fact that mankind has stepped foot on the moon, having never picked up a telephone because he has no one to call. Chronicling the ebbs and flows of this ordinary man’s life over 80 years, “Train Dreams” is a visually stunning meditation on man’s search for coping with grief and making a mark in an increasingly industrialized world.
