Hsu: With Great Responsibility

By Caroline Hsu | April 26, 2015

As Ben Parker once said in “Spider-Man” (2002), “with great power comes great responsibility.” The stark reality is that with the “Moving Dartmouth Forward” plan and its implications ever-present in the minds of students, the newly-elected class representatives must deal with myriad issues, including student mental health and growing scrutiny around inclusivity in the Greek system. \n To clarify, there are two bodies that represent the goals of the student body — Class Councils and Student Assembly.

Vox Clamantis: Remembering Nepal

By Jacob Cutler | April 26, 2015

This past Saturday night, like so many other students, I hopped around fraternities, danced with my friends, ridiculed the hard alcohol ban, fretted over girls, swiped my ID and ate free barbecue — and when I went to sleep, I went with G-d in my heart and G-d’s praises still fresh on my lips. \n Saturday night, a boy just like me lay in the suffocating dark, crushed under the rubble and debris of an earthquake a few thousand miles away in Nepal, with his ears begging for his mother’s voice or his sister’s laugh, with his throat choked with dust, with his body broken — and he went in terror to his eternal sleep with G-d in his heart and G-d’s praises still fresh on his lips and fresh in his tears. \n It is easy to forget our blessings here and to allow trifles and temptations to define our daily existence.
