Like many Dartmouth students this past Homecoming, I was disappointed to hear the College’s plan to supplement the traditional bonfire celebration with a light and laser show. I still vividly remember my freshman-year Homecoming. Huddled together, my friends and I stared in amazement, the heat radiating off of our awe-filled faces and warming us against the chilly New England night. We were staring at 137 years of Dartmouth tradition.
On Oct. 29, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte lifted New Hampshire’s statewide fire ban, ending a five-week prohibition on open burning and smoking in or near woodlands.

Sullivan also taught at the College from 2019 to 2020.
My best friend has been dating this guy since last fall. Over the months, I’ve become increasingly annoyed with him. Lately, I’ve been really struggling to not be openly hostile when he’s around, which is very often — I don’t know if he has his own friends. He’s nice and all, but he chews with his mouth open and participates in every conversation by asking the most inane questions. My friend is in love with him, so I don’t want to tell her how I feel about him but I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this.
I’m currently taking a class called Jane Austen’s Afterlives. I’ve always considered myself an Austen fan, despite the fact that until recently, I’d only read “Pride and Prejudice.” But Austen feels like one of those authors you can claim even with minimal exposure. Her characters and stories seep into the cultural consciousness through so many retellings and adaptations that you almost feel like you know them before opening the book. Between “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Clueless” and the endless stream of TikToks about Mr. Darcy, it felt safe to say I was a fan.
When students think of learning at Dartmouth, they might picture a professor at the board, writing out equations as rows of undergraduates frantically scribble notes. However, plenty of learning happens outside the lecture hall, whether it be late-night tutoring sessions, small lab groups or office hours run by peers only a year or two older than the students they’re helping.
A couple of weeks ago, my friend celebrated her 22nd birthday. Being the Type A person that she is, she spent days meticulously planning a bar crawl for the big night, but a few friends and I were determined to do something special to surprise her. During the week leading up to her birthday, we collected decorations and cupcakes to prepare for a mini celebration pre-bar crawl.
You’ve likely seen the Dartmouth Libraries stickers dozens of times around campus, stuck to water bottles, computer cases laying out at the library's circulation desk. I first discovered them at the Baker-Berry Library open house, where a handful were out on display. There are 27 sticker designs in total, distinguished by their unique style: colorful, imaginative and playfully abstract. Each circular sticker represents a specific library or study space, designated in bold font on the bottom.
Re: Rochkind: Time to Include All Voices
In preparation for the Class of 2029’s student government elections, which concluded last week, the Dartmouth campus took on a familiar rhythm. Each would-be class senator released polished Instagram graphics, crafted statements about community and connection and circulated Google Docs paired with the promise of hearing students’ voices. Group chats begin to overflow with reminders to vote for a friend of a friend. The walls of Novack Cafe are plastered with headshots of freshmen in suits that remind you to “VOTE!”
I’ve recently been rewatching two of my favorite TV shows whose take on American politics couldn’t be more different: “The West Wing” and “Veep.” The former is the Clinton-era brainchild of Aaron Sorkin, a sentimental ode to public service and politics at their most idealistic. It also contains an interesting Dartmouth connection: its fictional president Josiah Bartlet’s resume includes a serving stint serving as governor of New Hampshire and teaching economics at the College. “Veep,” on the other hand, is a cynic’s rendering of the post-Bush years. Its characters are ruthless and uncaring yet hopelessly incompetent in almost every endeavor.
The College purchased three units on West Wheelock Street in July to be developed into College housing “eventually,” according to senior vice president of operations Josh Keniston. The units, 18 West Wheelock St., 20 West Wheelock St. and 22 West Wheelock St., have historically been occupied by Dartmouth students.

The Senate also unanimously endorsed a proposal to create a dining advisory council with students, dining representatives and administrators to inform dining decisions.
After finishing their fall season on Oct. 19, Dartmouth women’s golf is now on the hunt to bring home the Ivy League title this spring. The 2024 Ivy League Championship marked the first and only conference title in the Big Green’s history. Following a promising fall prologue, the team has their eyes on the prize once again and are itching to reclaim the title.
Standing outside Harvard Stadium on a cold November Saturday, the Dartmouth Big Green was somber. They had just been handed a 31-10 loss at the hands of rival Harvard University. Still in their jerseys, a group of Dartmouth defenders stood in a circle, their arms around each other. Safety and team captain Sean Williams ’26 offered some advice for his downcast team.
Under the bright Saturday night lights at Burnham Field in Hanover, N.H., the Dartmouth women’s soccer team achieved a 2-1 victory over the Cornell Big Red to earn the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Ivy League tournament.
