A Student Dreams of Kiwis

By Caroline Berens | January 29, 2015

Although the windows reveal the icy, barren scene of a Hanover winter, thoughts of warmer weather and spring sunshine fill the air in the Collis second floor lounge. Six students sit together and ardently plan the extensive fruit-and-vegetable-producing garden that will be planted in a sorority’s yard this spring.

Dartmouth, 2050

By Mary Liza Hartong | January 29, 2015

It’s the year 2050 and your mid-life crisis has brought you back to dear old Dartmouth, as you always knew it would. You may not remember all the words to the alma mater, but you’re ready to skate on Occom Pond, build a snowman and tear up the slopes with your bionic post-knee-replacement legs.

Through The Looking Glass: Our World is Inherently Interconnected

By Leehi Yona | January 29, 2015

Working on climate issues is by far the most physically and psychologically exhausting and spiritually exasperating thing I could ever see myself doing. It offers very little rewards, almost consistently beating you down. And yet it’s filled with the most emotional, inspiring, empowering experiences I’ve ever had.

Disbelief Amid Certainty

By Hannah Petrone | January 29, 2015

If you find the United States’ international rankings in health care, education and social mobility dismally low, don’t despair — you still have the top rank in climate change denial to keep you warm at night!

Fridays with Marian

By Marian Lurio | January 29, 2015

Dennis Rodman still hasn’t responded to any of my tweets, so I don’t want to spend too much time talking about him this week. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, amirite?

Boots and Rallies

By Aaron Pellowski | January 29, 2015

Just about all my attention was seized in this cluster headache of “right” and “wrong,” but not so much that I did not spy out of the corner of my eye something absolutely queer. Like fickle goblins fitted in parkas stealing across the lawn by the light of the moon, I spotted a pair of girls outside Butterfield holding a large rectangle of familiar proportions and walking at an unusually brisk pace.

Editor's Note

By The Dartmouth | January 29, 2015

“To which subject will Charlie turn his unsharpened ‘thinking’ this week?” my readers mutter as they stream into lecture halls. “Will this week’s column be as devoid of interest or substance as previous weeks’?”

12 - The number of principles, including “observe and interact” and “design from patterns to details,” invoked by permaculture advocates. 1,211, 600 - The number of signatures accrued on the Divest Dartmouth campaign’s online petition and the number of likes on its Facebook page, respectively. 35 - The percent of Americans who express skepticism about the science behind climate change. 2,155 - The number of pages of the latest IPCC report. 4.5 million - The number of gallons of Fuel 6 oil Dartmouth consumes annually.

If You Don't Know, Now You Know

By Charlie Rafkin | January 29, 2015

But this winter is cold. Is global warming still real? Dang! Got ’em! It’s super hilarious and insightful to wonder aloud whether the snow dump we experienced invalidates of decades careful scientific reasoning.

The Student As Critic

By Andrew Kingsley | January 23, 2015

We could all be flâneurs — the ambling, idling scholars of 19th century Paris. We could all soak in the rich, historic landscape of our frigid hamlet. Balzac called the activity the “gastronomy of the eye.” Baudelaire deemed them “botanists of the sidewalk.” They feasted upon the urban sweep as if it were a museum — the citizens its patrons and the architecture its pieces, curated and juxtaposed to maximize experience.

“Green Space”

In this frightening post-Dimensions show landscape, there is a real demand for more parodies of popular songs set to Dartmouth lyrics. And even if there isn’t a real demand, we will draft the song anyway. \nSing to the tune of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” (2014).

Alt To Some, In To Many

By Mary Liza Hartong | January 22, 2015

“Dartmouth is a party school.” It’s hard to guess how many times I heard this phrase when I was accepted to Dartmouth, but if I had to make a approximation for the sake of this article, I’d guess it was somewhere in the thousands. I heard it from snarky adults who had never been north of the Mason-Dixon line. I heard it from friends at graduation parties. I heard it from concerned elderly people in the grocery store. Sometimes I even heard it from the small, scared voice inside of my head. Nevertheless, I lugged my straight-laced, sleep-loving, decidedly sober self all the way to New Hampshire and hoped for the best.

Fridays with Marian

By Marian Lurio | January 22, 2015

And there you have it — all the news from this past week. No need to watch the news, read CNN.com or open those Skimm daily news emails. In the meantime, there’s no rest for the weary. A hard-hitting — and completely qualified — reporter like myself is always on the job. I’d be nothing without my fanbase, so thanks for your support and love. I would like to dedicate this column to “Anonymous” who commented on last week’s column online. Your support means the world to me. And I will continue to produce this “kitchy” “drivel” with a “lack of substance” in your honor.
