A Collegial Government

By Zak Meghrouni-Brown | March 5, 2015

I hustled out of my 2A last week, grabbed a bite at the Hop and made my way to Hanover’s first public budget hearing of the 2015-2016 fiscal year — a typical Thursday.

A Sense of Comfort and Place

By Caroline Berens | March 5, 2015

It was a crisp day in fall 2013 and Joby Bernstein ’17 was heading to the Alumni Gym, an extra bounce in his step as he anticipated his first day of swim practice. \nUnlike most walk-ons to the varsity swim team, who often email the coaches over the summer to secure a spot on the roster, Bernstein hadn’t corresponded with the coaches until very recently. But he was unfazed. He decided that he wanted to pursue swimming at the College during his last high school meet, and he trained intensely over the summer to prepare.

Editor's Note

By Charlie Rafkin | March 5, 2015

Three months ago, this campus’s media moguls asked me to rise to the challenge of writing a weekly Editor’s Note. I could only have flailed to the ground — uncoordinated, weeping and alone — faster if you’d had asked me to play limbo.

If you don't know, now you know

By Charlie Rafkin | March 5, 2015

How many times have you moved while at Dartmouth? \n Of all the frustrating and invented competitions on campus, the competition for “who has moved from place to place the most terms on a row” is the most infuriating.

Bodies, Reimagined

By Victoria Nelsen | February 26, 2015

It is no secret that we are not always taught to love our bodies. Bombarded by the images of mass media, from magazine covers to children’s dolls, we often idolize a peculiar notion of beauty that elevates a figure that is slim — but not too slim — above all else.

An "F" Word, But Not a Curse

By Sam Forstner | February 26, 2015

While many students may identify as feminists, there is certainly a discrepancy in how students define the term. This disparity is not limited to students at the College, however, as even within the feminist movement and feminist academic circles, the word seems to cover a broad spectrum of beliefs and ideas.

Are Campus Spaces Gendered?

By Mary Liza Hartong | February 26, 2015

Like the illustrious David Guetta, you may look around this campus and wonder “Where them girls at?” You may also wonder “Where them guys at?” or “Where them people who fall somewhere else on the spectrum of gender at?”

Sex? Identity? It's Complex

By James Jia | February 26, 2015

Slut, creep, tramp, player — these are all words that have been thrown around to describe students who engage in sexual activity at the College, often in conjunction with those who participate in the perceived hookup culture. For years, activists and students on college campuses across the nation have decried the double standard to which men and women are subjected in relation to their sexual activity — or lack thereof.

Boots and Rallies

By Aaron Pellowski | February 26, 2015

I’ve always illustrated my personal taxonomy of jerks with the example of the equestrian statue. The first tier of jerks — i.e. people who are not jerks at all — will simply holler, “Hey, look at that cool statue of a fellow riding a horse!”

Fridays with Marian

By Marian Lurio | February 26, 2015

Michael Phelps is also engaged to the former Miss California, but he’s a total freak so I really don’t want to waste column space talking about that.
