|

With pollen and a newly invigorated call for change in the air, annual spring elections for Student Assembly allow the student body to reflect on the outgoing administration and select a new slate of leaders. The sheer number of candidates and competitiveness of the elections reveal how student interests and concerns evolve over three terms, generating dialogue in every corner of campus, said Eric Ramsey, supervisor of the Elections Planning and Advisory Committee. "I remember having plenty of conversations on my freshman floor about who we planned on voting for," Samantha Schiff '15 said.

Moderately Good Advice with Gardner and Kate

|

Dear Gardner and Kate, As someone who chose Dartmouth over a host of other schools because of the Dimensions show, I literally cannot believe that they are "not canceling the Dimensions welcome show." Do you think the admissions office will take students' opinions into account and keep the show?

With Friends Like These...

Have you ever really finished a game of Monopoly? Me neither. I grew up under the assumption that "winning" at Monopoly is that moment when, in tears, your opponent melodramatically accepts defeat.

Days of War: Dartmouth's history of armed conflict

|

Allison Wang / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Dartmouth today seems like one of the most idyllic places on Earth, but during times of war in the last century, it saw thousands of students leave school in order to enlist, making it both a place of military training and a hotbed of protest. World War I significantly affected both Dartmouth's campus and students.

Top 5 Things We'd Do If We Had All the Time in the World

Learn a ton of languages! And we mean really learn, not just memorize the foreign sex phrases and pick-up lines in Urban Outfitters books. Watch every episode of "Law and Order: SVU" in order, if only to pick up on instances of subtle sexual tension between Stabler and Benson. Memorize an infinite amount of inane trivia to finally best that smug Ken Jennings (and Watson) on "Jeopardy." Do your laundry, vacuum and go to the gym.
