Some students have expressed concerns with campus fire safety following two incidents this month. On Jan. 18, a small fire in Gile Hall summoned the Hanover Fire Department at 2:10 a.m., according to fire chief Michael Gilbert. Three days later, a steam leak on the second floor of Little Hall prompted another response from the department at 11:30 p.m.
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.
This past fall, the College significantly elevated its entertainment industry profile, hosting a series of campus events tailor-made for students, like myself, interested in making careers in Hollywood. In just 10 weeks, students were able to attend a guest lecture featuring Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns, listen to Malcolm McDowell discuss his starring role in “A Clockwork Orange” and, through the Dartmouth Film Society’s 75th anniversary celebrations, network with alumni in entertainment.
On Jan. 25, Dartmouth men’s ice hockey bounced back to defeat Cornell University 6-1 after a 3-2 loss to Colgate University the previous night. This season’s sweep of Cornell put the Big Green back in the ranks at No. 19, according to USA Hockey.
Robert Eggers’s “Nosferatu” was a skillfully made image of the 1830s in Germany – a predictable victory for the veteran director who spent 10 years on the film. Eggers’s film history boasts immersive, tonal psychological thrillers. Notably, “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse” made him well suited to take on “Nosferatu.” However, when placed outside of Eggers’s repertoire and into that of the series of films based on the original story of “Nosferatu,” his remake fails to make a meaningful addition to the canon despite his promises to provide a feminist interpretation.
On Jan. 17, “Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light)” opened at the Hood Museum of Art. Curated by curatorial affairs associate director and Hood Indigenous Art curator Jami Powell, the exhibition — a showcase of over 60 photographs spanning more than two decades — marks photographer Cara Romero’s first-ever solo museum exhibition.

Dear Diary — I mean, Mirror,
Many students might wonder what to do in the Upper Valley during the winter. While some of us hit the Dartmouth Skiway to get in a few weekend runs, or skate with friends on Occom Pond, those classic seasonal options can get repetitive. There’s no denying that some of New England’s charm wears off when the fall foliage is long gone and it’s too cold to swim in the Connecticut River. As a native of the Northeast, I’ve found that making the most of these chillier months often requires some creativity. So, if you’re looking for more ways to enjoy the cold this term, I recommend that you find a car, turn on your best playlist and head 30 minutes west to Woodstock, Vt., for a not-so-hidden gem: Billings Farm and Museum.
Wind in my face, the crunch of ice and the sun on my back — what better way to spend a Saturday morning? Last weekend, I teetered precariously on my rental figure skates across Lake Morey as couples, children and even dogs zoomed past me. Without the edge of an ice rink, which I would normally cling to, I resorted to squeezing my friend’s hand for the entire hour and a half spent on the frozen lake. Despite my lack of skill, I managed to remain upright and enjoy the crisp air and wintry views. As I skated along the three-mile track, I understood why so many Dartmouth students brave the cold for this activity — skating outside was an experience like no other.
