This week marks the middle of my “H-Term.” For those who aren’t in on the lingo, an H-Term (or Hanover term) is when a Dartmouth student takes an off-term but stays in Hanover. I’ve been trying out writing full time while simultaneously taking care of other campus responsibilities. This experiment has taught me a lot about myself and my independent work habits, but beyond that, and more interesting to readers of my column, it has allowed me to take a step back from a busy class schedule and observe the reproduction of the Dartmouth student’s learning power.

Once upon a time, we, as a campus, protested. Have you heard of the 1969 occupation of Parkhurst in opposition to the Vietnam War? The 1985 anti-apartheid shanty towns that lasted for months on the Green? Or the anti-Wall Street Occupy Dartmouth encampment in 2011?

Dartmouth has moved quickly to respond to increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence. The College has issued guidance on the use of generative AI in coursework, created faculty teaching resources and made approved AI tools available to students, faculty and staff. That deserves credit. But when it comes to actual coursework, Dartmouth has largely left faculty to determine for their own classes the rules of what students can use, when and how. The College’s current guidance states that “the instructor’s GenAI policy defines the expectations” for a course.

I have a folder in my inbox that I have never once opened voluntarily. It is labeled, automatically, “Palaeopitus,” and it fills at a pace that suggests an organization with things to say. Over the last year, those things have included: a survey about an e-scooter policy with free Cold Stone as compensation for completion; a survey about Dick’s House with free Lou’s; a survey about Commencement concerns for international students with a five-dollar gift card as a participation incentive; a lunch with an author; two reminders about a leadership conference; and a dinner discussion about gender-based violence and sexual health which was, notably, free. The emails are well-formatted. They arrive with the cadence of institutional confidence. And yet, reading through them, I find myself with a question I cannot shake: What, exactly, is Palaeopitus doing?

Re: ‘Hanover to vote on zoning amendments on May 12’

I speak for a lot of us when I say this academic year has not been kind. With Kate’s, Enzo’s and Ryan’s passings, death has been brushing past us in ways none of us were prepared for, leaving marks on this community that will not simply fade with the season. I want to speak on behalf of my own experience navigating Enzo’s passing, not because I think my grief is the loudest in the room, but because I hope something in it reaches whoever needs it most. I also want to share how I plan to move forward, make meaning out of the meaningless and carry Enzo’s legacy into the world the way he always deserved.

Re: ‘Playing volleyball here was a nightmare’: Inside the Dartmouth women’s volleyball team’s culture

Last spring, I sat at a circular table at Foco Late Night alongside around 15 of my peers in the Class of 2028. There, we watched two of our friends, one Christian and one atheist, debate a topic deeper than what most of our fellow students at the dining hall were discussing that evening: the existence of God.

To the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, President Beilock and the Dartmouth Community:

On April 17, President Donald Trump spoke at Turning Point USA’s “Build the Red Wall” rally in Phoenix, an event designed to energize the Republican base for the midterm elections and marketed as proof of youthful conservative momentum. News coverage from the event described visible empty seats and a crowd older than advertised.

The Dartmouth has restructured its editorial board.

The Black Family Visual Arts Center, which honors alleged child sex offender Leon Black ’73, a close colleague of Jeffrey Epstein, must be renamed. The Dartmouth Editorial Board offers the following two-part letter addressing Leon Black, College President Sian Leah Beilock and the Board of Trustees, calling on them to rename BVAC immediately.

Every time I return home after a term at college, I sit at our home PC and log on to be greeted by a familiar sight: A glowing, grassy hill rolling underneath a bright, blue sky lightly sprinkled with clouds. I chose this background deliberately: Bliss, the iconic wallpaper of Windows XP, is a warm reminder of a simpler time. For a moment, I don’t feel like I’m logging onto a modern computer to take on modern burdens. I feel like I’m at home in a past when technology was a source of comfort.

At the end of my junior season competing for Dartmouth’s women’s volleyball, I was dismissed from the team. No warnings. No details. No opportunity to defend myself.

Re: Students can no longer vote in N.H. using school-issued IDs

On April 12, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself cosplaying as a Jesus-like figure healing a sick man with divine power. Trump loves posting incendiary AI content; in less than a year, we’ve received a post depicting the Obamas as monkeys, a press release of a Minnesota protestor mid-arrest edited to appear as though she was crying when she was not and a video of Trump flying a fighter jet, spraying literal shit on American protestors. Trump’s Jesus post, however, feels different. Trump took the Oval Office in large part due to the frustrated white, Christian nationalist voters who felt Christian values were no longer a priority in this nation. Trump is known for trolling his opposition — it’s his shtick — but aggravating his own side feels different.

In a recent article for The Chronicle of Higher Education, Eric Kelderman reported that now-Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock became a client of BerlinRosen, a high powered New York-based public relations firm, in 2017. That same year, she was named the president of Barnard College, a private women’s liberal arts college affiliated with Columbia University. In a 2021 article published on BerlinRosen’s site, the firm counted “thought leaders like Sian Beilock of Barnard College” as one of their team’s “greatest wins” of the year.

A new Pew Research Center survey, entitled “Americans’ Shifting Views on Energy Issues,” should worry anyone who cares about climate policy. Americans still say, on balance, that the United States should prioritize renewable energy over fossil fuels. But that majority has fallen dramatically, from 79% in 2020 to 57% this year. Among Republicans, the shift is even more striking — in 2020, a majority said the country should prioritize renewables. Now, 71% say the country should prioritize fossil fuels. The trend is not subtle. Something has changed.

The Beilock administration is about “brave spaces.” So why doesn’t that ethos extend to taking Leon Black ’73’s name off of the Black Family Visual Arts Center? What is Dartmouth leadership waiting for?

Dartmouth recently instituted a new software for course selection and registration called Courses@Dartmouth. We asked The Dartmouth’s Opinion writers how they felt after using it for the first time to register for courses earlier this term.
