Faculty Reflections

By Luke McCann and Victoria Nelsen | September 18, 2014

For decades, Dartmouth’s faculty have been invested in the wellness of their students, both inside and outside of the classroom — with the small community at the College, separating the two is almost impossible. A 32-question Mirror survey allowed faculty to reflect on the current state of the College, and the results reveal that discussions about major issues are far from finished.

Editor's Note

By Erin Landau | September 18, 2014

As you’ll soon see, this week’s edition is a little different. If you’ve checked blitz in the past few days, you’d see the massive and semi-exhaustive survey blitzed out to students and faculty covering topics ranging from cheating to sex to marijuana legalization to satisfaction with the Greek system. It is certainly not reflective of all students on campus, but we were able to manage around a 10-percent response rate (which, as those of you who have taken stats at Dartmouth know, is pretty good for a survey with more than 50 questions.)

Through the Looking Glass: A Great Hopportunity

By Aaron Ellis | September 18, 2014

When I told my parents that I had received $7,000 from Dartmouth to drive around the country drinking, researching beer and hanging out in national parks, my dad asked me if I was an alcoholic. I thought it was a joke, but as it turns out, he was really concerned.

Fridays with Marian

By Marian Lurio | September 18, 2014

Why am I writing this column? I have no clue. It’s my senior year, and I feel like I’m still a freshman. Correction: my knowledge of many Dartmouth traditions — i.e. the lyrics to our alma mater — is minimal despite my best efforts to inundate myself in our “campus culture” (i.e. Bean boots). Until I saw the giant sign, I thought the Triangle House was KD’s new physical plant.

Boots and Rallies

By Aaron Pellowski | September 18, 2014

A little blasphemous, a little extreme, very dark and maybe a little bit true. Or completely true, at least in spirit, as I judged when I heard this for the first time. Meet circa-2004 Aaron R. Pellowski ’15, a moody adolescent equipped with a decidedly anti-other-people disposition and an ego so bloated it almost burped. I became demonically obsessed with the theory that any person even remotely in touch with the world should be petrified with disgust.

Always in Need of Orienting

By Sara Kassir | September 9, 2014

’18s, your mere existence makes me feel old. And with that feeling comes the compulsion to convey something that I, like any old person, will preface by saying that you will only really understand it when you, too, are old. It’s cyclic and ironic — and a little sad, to be honest — but bear with me.

Editor’s Note

By Erin Landau | September 9, 2014

My first week at Dartmouth I climbed into a washing machine, my best friend from high school was picked up by Safety and Security, a kid pooped in my hall’s shower and I was sexiled for 24 hours.

Froshionably Late

By Katie Hake | August 8, 2014

Welcome to Dartmouth, ’18s! I hope you’re ready – college is happening, like, now. Once your fresh-faced, cheerful selves have made it through five days in the woods experiencing the magic of Dartmouth Outing Club first-year trips, you’ll actually have to go to Dartmouth. That means attending classes, meeting tons of new people, probably living with a roommate or two and generally navigating a whole new environment along with 1,000 of your peers. It’s totally okay if you don’t feel prepared.

Ye Old Pong

By Andrew Kingsley | August 8, 2014

Tis swillig, and the soused did glut themselves in the keel, all teeming were the basements, a freshman’s ideal. Now’s hump day’s eve, the bewitching hours of fraternities, which Peter’s keys and Anubis’s scales sink for eternity.

Help Wanted

By Macy Ferguson | August 8, 2014

The first few months of college can be overwhelming at times, when you’re suddenly bombarded with new responsibilities and thousands of new faces at once. Working with the same people day in and day out creates a specific kind of bond. The sense of community I developed through my job was a comforting haven when Dartmouth became a bit too hectic. Finding a job you love on campus is not just a way to make money, but an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your place at Dartmouth.

Not Your Average Toga Party

By Marina Shkuratov | August 8, 2014

Dartmouth may be renowned for its academic prowess, but that doesn’t mean its students don’t like to let loose every now and again. While there’s generally some sort of social scene that can be found on any night of the week, a few well-known events on campus have become Dartmouth traditions.
