It’s important to realize that your major is probably really, really basic. Like, really basic. It’s actually hard for me to express how basic your major almost definitely is. Each year, most students major in just a handful of things –economics, government, psychology, history, and English are the usual culprits – leaving those few other majors feeling, well, less than special. But here’s the thing: Those are majors are special, because the rest of you are basic. Like, super basic.
Without further ado, here is just how basic your major is:

Brown University: Players on the Brown softball team recently came forward with accusations of bullying against head coach Katie Flynn, the Brown Daily Herald reported. Players claim that Flynn made hurtful comments about players’ weights and created an aggressive and hostile environment that was emotionally exhausting for them. Since Flynn’s first season in 2013, she has lost nine of her 12 original players. Those who felt attacked have brought their concerns to athletic director Jack Hayes, who has made no action against the coach.
Columbia University: Columbia student group Student-Worker Solidarity claims that employees at the university are prohibited from speaking languages other than English in the presence of students, the Columbia Spectator reported. A spokesperson for Columbia claimed that a student complaint against an emplyee speaking Spanish was a response to the employee’s comment, not the use of Spanish. Columbia officials have come forward to state that no such policy is in place.

Another vintage ad for The Dartmouth, this spot features a fully-clothed reader. Sure, it's cheesy. Rest assured, you likely won't have to walk a mile for much of anything on campus, let alone the newspaper.

Situation: You need something, you’ve procrastinated and you’re getting desperate. Maybe you’ve run out of toothpaste, and you just can’t ask your roommate yet again to borrow theirs. Perhaps your bike broke, and you’re dreading the walk from the BVAC to the LSC. Or, maybe you’ve eaten all the breakfast food that you store in your room, and you know you won’t be able to make it through your 9L without something in your stomach. And let’s face it – Topside is so expensive (a 6 oz. container of strawberries for $6.00 – really?!) and CVS is inconvenient (you’re really just too lazy to make that trek down Main Street).

Dimensions is over, and the May 1 deadline is fast approaching. I am sure that many a '19 are debating the question of to come, or not to come. I hate decisions — they make me want to take a nap. That’s why I have created this comprehensive list of 19 reasons why '19s should come to Dartmouth.

I’m back. Again. Nine months out of college and already on my second job, second city, and third apartment — I sublet a lot because I’m afraid of commitment — and I’m back for Stuff Dartmouth Kids Like’s second return.

Thanks to the joyous Instagram food account @Infatuation, Tartine Bakery has been on my radar for quite some time now. The place has established the kind of reputation amongst foodies — dedicated and otherwise — that aspiring bakers dream of. It’s been around for years, as the worn-out floors illustrate. It is here that famous food writer Michael Pollan had “the best bread I ever tasted.” It’s the type of place that I should have tried long before this weekend. When the company made national headlines this week for the announced merger with another local favorite, Blue Bottle Coffee, I knew this week would be the week to finally make the trek.

Ok, so maybe I found Local Natives while trolling Free People’s blog, but the part to focus on here is that it led me to a live performance of “You & I” that the group did for the company while at Firefly this summer. It was love at first listen.

I spent my spring break doing what most people do — looking up and analyzing the lyrics to top 40 pop hits that are barely relevant anymore. When I read the lyrics to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk,” however, I had a startling revelation. First, what I’m doing is what a really lonely person might do. Also, “Uptown Funk” is about cocaine.
Right out the gate Bruno Mars pulls the classic lyrical trope of singing a grocery list of things hip-hop artists like. In this case the list includes: this hit, ice-cold Michelle Pfeiffer and white gold. At first I thought "white gold" was some meta-commentary on the practice of defanging music from African-American culture to make it more palatable to a broader — read White — audience. But as I looked into it further I came to one conclusion. Cocaine, baby.

Given that the third Dimensions weekend is kicking off, we thought we’d take the chance to ask students what they remember about their Dimensions experience. As you see prospective ’19s walking around campus today and tomorrow, try to remember what it was — whether you went to Dimensions or not — that first caught your eye about Dartmouth. When I went to Dimensions, I remember eating with my parents at FoCo and being blown away by the food, and although FoCo may not have the same charm that it did to me on day one, I’m still not ashamed to admit that food probably played a larger role in my college decision than it should have. Here’s what some of your peers remember about their time at Dimensions.

Brown University: Around 50 students and alumni exercised their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 to request personal records relating to their admission to the University, the Brown Daily Herald reported Wednesday. After students at Stanford University called upon students to invoke FERPA to view admissions records to better understand the admissions process and the impact of racial, income-based and legacy-based factors, students across the country began submitting requests to view their admissions files. Brown declined to share notes made by admissions officers, noting that the university had the right to define what consisted a “permanent record” under the law and did not consider admissions notes to be applicable.
Columbia University: Commuter students at Columbia’s two undergraduate schools, Columbia College and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, will gain he right to swipe access of residence halls beginning in the fall, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported Wednesday. The policy banning non-resident students from accessing dorms had been in place since 2013 and was overturned due to reports by student leaders calling for the removal of the policy. Residence halls, students claimed, could foster community and socialization, making their inaccessibility for commuter students a substantial barrier.
