Through the Looking Glass: 14WE'REDOINGVINTAGEEVERYDAY — A Journey

By Rin Kominkiewicz | March 27, 2014

Doing vintage every day last term taught me much more than I ever expected about the gaze and people’s superficiality. But despite the harder times, I am going to continue dressing the way I do, because I’m beginning to understand how piercing and objectifying a gaze can be — and because I seriously have fun dressing up like this. When I looked in the mirror in modern hair and makeup on my first day of spring break, I broke out into “Reflection” from “Mulan” (1998). I just looked so alien to myself. This is who I am, and I feel great.

Perception and Reality: HIV in the Upper Valley

By Luke McCann | March 6, 2014

Despite the stigma that continues to exist around the discussion of HIV on this campus and beyond, there’s no argument that it is necessary to raise awareness of the disease. No matter your risk, know your status. HIV is not a thing of the past.

Afraid to Care: A Culture of Apathy

By Iris Liu | March 6, 2014

In the heyday of sophomore summer, the hot air clung to campus like a sweaty bed sheet, a strained bubble threatening to burst, saturated with a tantalizing blend of feverish heat and fervent youth. The Connecticut River sparkled, beckoning the glare of the rising sun creeping from the east. Down Tuck Drive, she was sitting alone on a bench. It was uncharacteristically early, and campus had only just begun to stir. In the stillness of the morning, she was numb.

Taking Time to Grieve

By Kalie Marsicano | March 6, 2014

More than our academics suffer when we grieve at Dartmouth. We strive all term to find a rhythm that lets us eat, sleep, study and socialize in equal parts. When we lose a loved one, we can’t possibly stay on beat. Yet when we try desperately to do so, we marginalize our emotional wellbeing in the process.

Not Your Mother's Finals Survival Guide

By Amanda Winch and Hayley Adnopoz | March 6, 2014

As part of a movement we’ve dubbed “Productive Procrastination,” we have forgone online shopping and 45-minute KAF breaks for a more lucrative time-wasting occupation: penning an unorthodox yet accurate list of tips to help you stay sane this frosty finals period. Consider this your comprehensive how-to guide for going out with a 14Win instead of 14Whimper.

Off-Turmoil

By Sara Kassir | March 6, 2014

When I selected my college major, I didn’t fully appreciate the dichotomy that often exists between choosing to make a lot of money and choosing to make a difference in the world. I decided on the latter without really understanding that the former would consequently be more difficult. My argument isn’t that finance bankers cannot effect, but you’re kidding yourself if you say that’s why people chose to work on Wall Street.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | March 6, 2014

In case you were wondering, Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth Klopp established The North Face brand in the 1960’s. For the first 10 years or so, the company only made tents, backpacks and mountain-climbing gear. It then branched out into high-performance outerwear designed to withstand the freezing temperatures on Mount Everest. All of this makes me wonder how exactly Dartmouth students kept themselves warm and stylish before North Face introduced the iconic Denali polar fleece jacket.

The survey was simple, comprised of only five questions: Gender? Class year? Are you affiliated or unaffiliated? Would you send your son to Dartmouth? Would you send your daughter?

Once Upon a Timer

By Mary Liza Hartong | February 27, 2014

Like most Dartmouth students and humans under the age of 75, the prospect of knowing exactly how much time I spend on Facebook and other time-wasting websites strikes fear into my heart.

Alphas with Ambition

By Victoria Nelsen | February 27, 2014

In the two times I have been to Alpha Delta fraternity since coming to Dartmouth, my senses were awakened to sights, sounds and smells I had never known (or necessarily wanted to know) existed. Yet, my senses must not have been fully alert. What I did not observe during my first moments at AD was the air of creativity and entrepreneurship that runs rampant throughout the house.

What Have We Done?

By Seanie Civale and Amanda Smith | February 27, 2014

There’s something about dealing with big things that makes us catastrophize the little ones. Looking into the mysterious labyrinth of our futures, we manage to stay calm by directing our sweat at the small stuff instead. Many self-help books would call this tactic counterintuitive and deeply flawed, but, as Fernando Pessoa once said: “In order to understand, I destroyed myself.”
