On Jan. 30, government professor Jennifer Lind testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a hearing titled “The Malign Influence of the People’s Republic of China at Home and Abroad: Recommendations for Policy Makers.” During the hearing, Lind, who specializes in United States-China relations, spoke about China’s foreign influence, both malign and mundane. The Dartmouth sat down with Lind to discuss her first time experience testifying in front of the committee and how she believes the United States should use lessons from great power politics — competition between sovereign states with significant economic and military strength — to respond to China’s growing influence on U.S. citizens.
Editor’s Note
(02/05/25 8:00am)
Winter Carnival has crept up on us, and we are once again reminded that gone are the days of the Psi Upsilon keg-jumping contest, Winter Carnival Queen and towering snow sculptures. Though these traditions have since passed us by, I know many students who still carry with them an idealized image of what the weekend should hold, referential and nostalgic for a past they, or even some of their parents who went to Dartmouth, never experienced.
Fast-Tracking the Future: Students Reflect on Graduating Early
(02/05/25 8:10am)
The broad contours of most students’ D-Plans are similar. According to the Undergraduate Deans Office website, students must spend 12 terms on campus, usually taking three classes per term. This allows them to take three leave terms and finish their degree four years after they matriculate, hopefully a little wiser and ready to go out into the world. Some students, though, have other plans and petition to graduate a term early, during the winter of their senior year. While these students often still walk with their class in June, they apply for their degree in the winter and do not take classes their senior spring.
Reflection: SAD (Sick at Dartmouth)
(02/05/25 8:15am)
When I was first struck down with illness during week six of my freshman fall, I honestly felt a little bit of joy. According to Dick’s House, I had a nebulous ailment — either the flu, cold or some unknown virus. I felt like a pile of bricks, but it forced me to take a break from my grueling schedule of: class, activity, meal, exercise, rinse and repeat.
Hanover’s Hot Topic: The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab
(02/05/25 8:05am)
The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, known more commonly as CRREL, sits unassuming only about two miles north of campus. I, for one, have passed it frequently on drives up to Lyme or the Skiway — but had yet to fully understand the story behind the military laboratory that works to solve “strategically important problems … in cold and complex regions.” That is, until I spoke to the Dartmouth professors and students who research there.
Finding Queer Community in Mainstream Greek Life
(02/19/25 8:20am)

Moyse: DSG’s Culture is Toxic
(01/31/25 9:05am)
On Jan. 19, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate considered and voted against the nomination of Roger Friedlander ’27 for the position of deputy project manager. According to West House senator Reece Sharp ’28 in past reporting by The Dartmouth, the vote failed because senators were “confused” by the process. More specifically, two people had volunteered for the position — Friedlander and Hanna Bilgin ’28 — but student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25 only called a vote for Friedlander. Notably, Odigbo holds the sole power to nominate candidates for appointed positions in DSG. The Senate voted down the nomination, which was the end of the story — or at least the one open to the public.
