It’s a common misconception that Halloween is the ~scariest~ part of October. Those of us who have been through sorority recruitment know better. In a lot of ways, the two are quite similar: the costumes, the decorations, the traveling door-to-door to houses with alarming screams and/or chants emanating from within.
The only difference is that instead of candy, you get your questions like “What’s your major?” or “Where are you from?” or — if you’re lucky — “Spaghetti arms or spaghetti legs?”

Following the recent announcement of the College’s elimination of its need-blind admissions policy for international students, a group of students are organizing efforts to request that the College release statistical information to justify and explain the implementation of the policy. Interim dean of admissions and financial aid Paul Sunde wrote in an email to The Dartmouth that the policy came about because the international student population growth had been vastly outpacing the growth of the overall student body and the corresponding growth in financial aid for international students was not sustainable.

On Sept. 14, Ahmed Mohamed’s school day took a turn for the unexpected when he ended up in handcuffs. He had arrived at school that morning with an unusual looking device that he claimed was a homemade clock. According to a Sept. 16 report in the New York Times, the clock was composed of “a metal briefcase-style box, a digital display, wires and a circuit board.” Mohamed’s arrest sparked a firestorm on social media. He was either hailed as a budding engineer or pegged as a potential terrorist.

In the last year or so, administrators have implemented many changes, ranging from the momentous “Moving Dartmouth Forward” policy initiative to the recent shift from a need-blind policy to a need-aware financial aid policy for international student admissions. Many of these decisions have been criticized within the pages this paper, and social media are likewise littered with student complaints about the College’s decisions, lack of transparency and unresponsiveness. Instead of continuing to strong-arm the student body, administrators should take student criticisms into serious consideration, provide transparent responses and offer more opportunities for students to get involved and have their voices heard.

On a rainy night, the middle of the Green is devoid of noise or activity save for some stragglers headed to their residence halls and the sound of rain on gravel. And then — a light flicks on in the distance. The previously empty rotunda at Hopkins Center glows under a warm lamp. In the space where during the day there was only a blank wall, is a painting.

Choates study rooms
Choates study rooms, located on the basement level of each building, contain hard wooden chairs, exposed pipes and zero windows. This may seem fine, but look closely at the walls — the Bissell study room features some extremely creepy art. There are black-and white photos of an old carousel horse, a black cat and a masked man staring directly at the camera. The study rooms strike a perfect balance between mental-asylum-aesthetic and horror-movie-chic, if you’re into that.

For the less observant among us, the Phnom Penh Sandwich Station is a new addition to campus. The food truck sets up shop across the street from the Hop and serves lunch and dinner.
The wait was long, but surprisingly enjoyable. There were a few people in front of me in line, and I ended up with about a half-hour wait. Despite not having entered a physical structure of any kind, I felt like I was on another planet — right there on East Wheelock St. I ended up connecting with a fellow bystander over the fact that he had fished in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, this past winter. I realized that it was the first time in a while I’d experienced two things. First, I interacted with someone not affiliated with the College in any way. Second, someone was genuinely excited that I was from Michigan. This is the rose-tinted world of the food truck.
When it came time to order, I went right to the featured menu item, #1—the Phnom Penh Sandwich. The offering features fresh-baked bread with cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrots, chili mayo and your choice of meat. I opted for coconut jumbo shrimp, and washed it all down with a sweet lemon mint iced tea.
After power walking back to my room, eager to dig in, I finally tasted my meal. One word: Phnomenal (that one was all teed up, it had to happen). In all seriousness, the sandwich met my expectations and proceeded to soar further past them with each bite. The bread was warm and crisp, the vegetables tasted incredibly refreshing and the chili mayo added the perfect mild kick. The jumbo shrimp, once I got past their blatantly oxymoronic title, were fantastic. These were not the battered coconut shrimp you might find at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet — though I have nothing against those. These were sizeable, juicy shrimp slathered in a delicious sweet and tangy sauce.
The sandwich is by no means a feast. I’ll admit to following up my meal with a trip to Collis—though to be fair, this move was only half motivated by hunger and half by the futile, perpetual war I wage to try and get my money’s worth from DDS. But an entrée is only $7 — $8 with shrimp — so this more than nullifies any possible complaint from me.
The iced tea was a rare treat as well. Served with a lemon wedge and mint leaf garnish, it was the perfect complement to my meal.
If you’re on the hunt for a great and exotic meal without having to venture outside the friendly confines of campus, look no further than the Cambodian cuisine of the Phnom Penh Sandwich Station.
4 out of 5 stars.
