Kenyon: Dartmouth Ran a PR Sting on Its Own Students

The College’s website lists 43 people working in the Office of Communications. With an army of in-house flacks at its disposal, why then would the College need to employ a student and secretly work with him on an op-ed hyping Evergreen.AI for The Dartmouth?

Montalbano: The World is Changing and Americans Need to Wake Up

The America of today is built upon a foundation erected 80 years ago in the wake of the most devastating conflict the world has ever seen. For decades, America has reaped the rewards of that great victory, but a foundation laid eight decades ago is bound to crack, crumble and mangle. Just because one hasn’t sensed something wrong until recently — or at all — does not mean that all is well.

Before Hours: Spotlight on Christopher Melcher

Every day, hundreds of students pass through Baker Berry Library to get a moment of warmth from the below freezing temperatures of Hanover, N.H. At its grand entrance, Reiss Hall — otherwise known as Blobby —  the many couches and group tables rest atop a checkered floor, bustling with students. Welcome mats become covered in snow, couches get moved, tables shift — chip bags and muddied footprints from the snow are left behind in the continuous flow of students.

The Records Store Icon

Every first-year Dartmouth student inevitably runs late to a Molly’s dinner by discovering the records store on Main Street. Time easily flies by as they get lost in the various pop artist prints, Dr. Seuss stickers and old 90s records. The rpmNH Records and Posters store’s owner is a man who wears many hats: storyteller, geologist, artist and longtime resident of Hanover, Brian Smith.

Editor’s Note

Recently, I’ve spent a lot of time driving through local one-lane highways to find stories for my podcast class. The car I take doesn’t have an aux cord, so as I weave through snow-capped trees, I do a lot of thinking. This week my mind has been wandering to my first-year self: Young, bright-eyed, one foot in front of the other into Mid Fayerweather room 109. During Orientation Week, I sat on my twin XL knowing four things: I wanted to join a comedy group, play club field hockey, go on the London abroad for the English major and, of course, write for Mirror. In amazing news that would shock and delight this version of me, all of these things came true!

Journalists David French and Sarah Isgur praise Supreme Court’s ‘integrity’

On Jan. 29, New York Times Opinion columnist and former attorney David French said the Supreme Court’s conduct has been “quite heartening” and that it has stayed “within its constitutional bounds” at a Rockefeller Center event. 

‘We want you at the table’: N.H. Rep. Chris Pappas tells students to ‘be part of the conversation’

On Jan. 30, Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., criticized the Trump administration for its foreign policy decisions, immigration crackdown and cuts to federal funding for universities at a Rockefeller Center for Public Policy event. 

Anesu Tapera: Protect Zimbabwean International Students

When borders close, so do futures. The Trump administration’s latest round of travel and visa restrictions extend to 39 countries, many in Africa and the Middle East — a move that confuses national security with collective punishment, blocking thousands of qualified African students from life-changing educational opportunities. The government justified these restrictions with concerns about visa overstays, screening deficiencies and information-sharing gaps in foreign immigration systems. Yet, this fails to recognize the merit and circumstances of international scholarship students, including those from my home country of Zimbabwe. It misidentifies them as security threats rather than young people in pursuit of educational and career opportunities.
