Editors' Note

By Maddie Brown and Maggie Shields | October 22, 2015

As overeager Mirror writers during their freshman spring, Maddie and Maggie always showed up to the weekly story assignment meetings with several article pitches. Most of these were shut down.

Lone Pine Crime

By Caroline Berens | October 15, 2015

Nestled among foliage-rich mountains, with its quaint Georgian architecture and innumerable friendly-faced students, Hanover seems little more than a quintessential, idyllic New England town. Nothing indicates that a history of violent crime lurks beneath its picturesque surface — and to imagine so seems virtually impossible.

Dying to Dissect

By Leina McDermott | October 15, 2015

After further investigation, they discovered that Murdock’s body had been stolen and dragged across the snowy cemetery to the main road, where he was likely loaded into a cart and driven away. Less than a week later, two Dartmouth medical students were arrested for robbing Murdock’s grave.

Sticky Fingers

By Sarah Kovan and Lisa Oh | October 15, 2015

At Dartmouth, we’ve witnessed students taking Tupperware containers full of Greek Yogurt, numerous apples and several other quick snacks without paying for them. If you ask around, most students can tell you at least one crazy story about theft in the dining halls.

Joe Kind, A Guy

By Joe Kind | October 15, 2015

I looked forward to last weekend, as does most of the Dartmouth community, and for good reason — there is nothing else quite like the Homecoming weekend experience.

Under stress, students turn to Adderall for academic, social help

By Savannah Maher | October 9, 2015

But after pulling two consecutive all-nighters cramming for a chemistry exam, intellect alone could not get Connie through an eight-page research paper. Bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, Connie was thinking about calling it a night and turning in her first college essay a day late when a friend offered her some help in the form of a little orange pill.

How often in the past month have you felt hopeless, despondent, uninterested in activities you typically enjoy or lethargic?

Behind the façade: Helping, hurting and healing

By Caroline Berens and Kelsey Flower | October 8, 2015

A cursory glance around any area on campus — Baker Lobby, Collis’s pasta line, the Green -— will reveal an idyllic, picturesque scene. Smiling, chatty students eagerly discuss weekend plans and love life drama or offhandedly joke about how unprepared they are for an upcoming midterm, but deeper anxieties or troubles are rarely revealed. You may never know that the put-together, confident girl describing her busy social calendar over King Arthur Flour had trouble getting out of bed this morning.

Barthelmes a key resource for creative mental health care

By Priya Ramaiah | October 8, 2015

Caitlin Barthelmes’ office space — tucked away on the third floor of Robinson Hall in the Student Wellness Center — can appear a little mysterious to the casual observer. Equipped with a massage chair, free health-related goodies and bowls of candy, Barthelmes and the staff at the Student Wellness Center are working to empower students through holistic and preventative wellness processes.

Editor's Note

By Lauren Budd and Parker Richards | October 8, 2015

It’s come into vogue in the past year or so for national publications to cover issues related to mental health on college campuses. We’ve all seen stories about “excellent sheep,” “duck syndrome” and student suicide after student suicide. We set out to learn how these issues — and many others — present themselves here at Dartmouth, in our own home.

TTLG: An Anchor of Conscience

By Torrese Ouellette | October 8, 2015

Dartmouth and I had a toxic relationship. From matriculation in 2008 to academic separation in 2015, it lasted for more than six years. I now realize that if I had drowned myself in the fall of 2014 as I had attempted, I would have been ultimately responsible for the decision — but Dartmouth, nonetheless, would have been the catalyst.
