On Sept. 26, the Political Economy Project — a professor-led interdisciplinary organization that hosts talks on economics, politics and philosophy — featured economics professor Meir Kohn for a lecture titled, “Is Finance Theft?” The talk, which was attended by approximately 80 community members, was the first of six lectures in a year-long PEP series called “Understanding the Economy.”
Tuck School of Business professor Steve Kahl ’91 “always had his door open” for students — whether they wanted to talk about school or were reaching out for life advice, his daughter Hattie Kahl said. With his family and friends, he demonstrated the same inclusivity, kindness and infectious positivity.
Re: College decision to deny hiring of UIC professor stirs controversy
In April 2024, Catherine Harnois ’27 logged into her housing portal to find no available on-campus housing for her and her roommate. The duo was placed on a waitlist and given three options: remain on the waitlist, apply to a Living Learning Community or opt-in to an off-campus apartment at the Summit on Juniper complex, located approximately 3.2 miles — or a 15-minute bus ride — from campus in Lebanon, Harnois said.
On Sept. 28, Dartmouth men’s varsity soccer defeated the Brown University Bears 2-1 in their Ivy League opener at Burnham Field to continue their three-game winning streak.
Casey Ratzlaff is taking life match by match. The 26-year-old wheelchair tennis savant is the top-ranked American male wheelchair tennis player and an assistant coach for Dartmouth’s men’s varsity tennis team. Born with the rare disease spina bifida in 1988 — a decade after the first integrated Olympic and Paralympic games — Ratzlaff has grown up in the world of adaptive sports. He has racked up numerous accolades in his young career, winning a silver medal at the 2019 Parapan American Games games in Peru and representing the United States on seven World Team Cups. This summer, he competed at his second Paralympic games in Paris in both the singles and doubles divisions. In singles, Ratzlaff lost in the second round to Brazil’s Daniel Rodrigues. In doubles, Ratzlaff and his partner fell to Argentina in the opening round. The Dartmouth spoke with Ratzlaff to discuss his most recent competition in Paris, his reflections on the people and communities that have shaped him and his ambitions for the future.
Minutes after hitting a career-high 50-yard field goal, Owen Zalc ’27 once again set up his routine from 32 yards out. Down 14-13 with three seconds on the clock, his next kick would decide the Big Green’s fate against Merrimack University. Despite the pressure of the moment and the intense winds, Zalc was unfazed, sending the ball through the uprights to secure Dartmouth a narrow 16-14 victory at Duane Stadium in North Andover, Mass. on Sept. 28.
Following a very unexpected twist of events, my friends and I found ourselves at Chappell Roan’s last European concert for the Midwest Princess Tour on Sept. 23, during our time on the Berlin Foreign Study Program. Held at the Velodrom arena, the show replaced an earlier concert she had to cancel and drew a crowd of around 12,000 people — her largest audience outside of a festival to date. The atmosphere was a celebration of her creative vision. Many in the audience dressed like Roan herself, fully embracing the bold, vibrant fashion from her music videos. One person wore a pink cowboy outfit complete with glitter boots, while another sported an angel costume with a heart-patterned skirt and heart-shaped makeup accents. The attention to detail in their looks made the entire experience feel like a living, breathing extension of Roan’s art.
In this cartoon series, Gaia Yun '25 reviews the political scene concerning climate change using a popular Noah Kahan song.
The College is constructing new upperclassmen apartments on West Wheelock Street, which will add 285 beds to campus, according to senior vice president for capital planning and campus operations Josh Keniston. The project, Russo Hall, is named in honor of Thomas Russo ’77 and Gina Russo ’77, who donated $30 million — the largest gift for undergraduate housing in Dartmouth’s history — to erect the complex.
This fall, government professors Russell Muirhead, Herschel Nachlis and William Wohlforth are teaching GOVT 30.17, “The 2024 Election,” to educate students on the Nov. 5 election and its implications on foreign and domestic policy, according to Muirhead. The class will host 10 guest speakers throughout the term, including former Vice President Mike Pence, lawyer and Brandeis University professor Anita Hill and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).
Renovations on the Collis Center porch — meant to conclude in October — have been delayed another month, according to project manager Geoff Griffin. Construction is now set to wrap up in late November or early December, and students miss a social hub.
The age of cable television is essentially over. Youtube, Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV feature more content than we could ever consume, and many of the most beloved shows of our time — such as “Suits,” “Bridgerton” and “Squid Game” — are released on these on-demand streaming platforms. Media entertainment, it seems, is a never-ending source of instant gratification.
On Sept. 10, four Democratic candidates won a no-contest primary election to become the Democratic candidates for the New Hampshire State House representing Grafton County District 12.
Returning home to Connecticut is a confusing experience for me. While it’s great to leave the Dartmouth bubble for a while, it doesn’t take long for me to miss the separation Dartmouth offers from my childhood friends and family. After working in Washington, D.C. this summer, I returned home to finish the rest of the summer in peace. However, my time at home has compelled me to describe a phenomenon that I suspect many Dartmouth students do not interact with on campus — one that is singularly powerful in our politics today. The narrative of “White American Victimhood” — or the narrative that white people have been systematically disadvantaged in modern American society — permeates communities across the country. The concept has fueled what I deem to be the most influential and dangerous political movement of our time. However, before addressing its consequences, I have to define it. The only way to quell this movement though, is through understanding and showing empathy to those who have been swept up in it.
The volleyball team picked up three victories at the Dartmouth Invitational tournament in Hanover this past weekend, defeating Providence College 3-1, Quinnipiac University 3-2 and Siena College 3-1. On Friday, the team will move into conference play with a matchup against Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.
As the chirping of cicadas hushes to the soft crunch of fallen leaves, the changing sounds of the Upper Valley signal that fall has arrived. This shift from summer to fall begs the question: Does the music playing from our headphones change as drastically as the music of the natural world?
Last spring, College President Sian Leah Beilock announced the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative — a $500 million campus-wide decarbonization project which aims to reduce carbon emissions by 60% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Related construction projects are now sweeping Dartmouth’s campus.
After Dartmouth removed Core Power shakes from most dining locations — a result of a switch from Coke to Pepsi products in August — a Change.org petition titled, “Bring Back Core Power to Dartmouth: We Need Our Protein!” began circulating on social media, garnering 23 signatures. The petition is meant to be comedic, but it reflects an underlying problem at Dartmouth — the College does not understand what students want.
A few days ago, I decided that I would write this week’s Editor’s Note about trying to slow down and pay more attention to my surroundings. Mere hours ago, I was out on a run and, in a cruel display of irony, my advice came back to haunt me. For a moment, I stopped paying attention to the road beneath my feet and started mentally cataloging my to-do list. I promptly tripped and scraped my knee, hand and elbow, leaving me to run the last mile back to campus covered in blood and extremely upset.
