The Dartmouth Bucket List

By Lauren Vespoli | February 14, 2013

If you saw last week's issue of The Mirror, you might remember reading that "natural selection has spent hundreds of years getting rid of people like your friend, who think it is a good idea to jump through the ice and into the water of a frozen pond," or that the Polar Bear Plunge is exclusively for "morons." Moderately passive aggressive challenge accepted, though I had already planned to do the plunge since I never had before, and my last opportunity as a Dartmouth undergraduate had finally arrived.

Rebel With a Cause

By Maggie Shields | February 14, 2013

A grey SUV rolls slowly past you on Tuck Mall. Crap. You know with just a glance that it's Safety and Security, and you're not sure if the College permits making snow angels on the street. Safety and Security often seems omnipresent on this campus and often at the worst times but many students, myself included, don't know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes.

By Iris Liu | February 7, 2013

Shivering in bathing suits and towels while waiting to plunge into Occom Pond's frigid waters, Dartmouth students may wonder why swimming in sub-zero temperatures became a part of Winter Carnival tradition. The Polar Bear Swim is one of the most recent additions to the weekend, begun in 1995 by Rachel Gilliar '98, who sought to develop a new activity for her freshman Carnival.
