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.

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.

Postgrad Puck

By Sasha Nanji | March 6, 2014

Transitioning from the Toronto Furies to the Brampton Thunder was not easy. I was joining a new team with new coaches and players who had already played together for a good part of the season.

Coeducation enhanced College performing arts

By Aimee Sung | March 5, 2014

When 200 women joined the Class of 1976, the male-dominated Dartmouth community reacted with mixed emotions — some welcomed the female students, while others displayed hostility. The music and theater departments, however, largely avoided the eye of the storm.
