Before last week, I had never heard of the Neukom Digital Arts, Leadership and Innovation Lab in Computer Science at Dartmouth. However, after interviewing the creators of HousingCake and experiencing the PR campaign for the Digital Musics and Arts Exposition (DMAX), I became curious. According to the lab’s website, the DALI research and development lab, directed by professor Lorie Loeb, combines “the latest design and technology practices to help non-profits, faculty, centers across campus and businesses communicate effectively.”
When Dartmouth students hear “Collis,” they tend to think of late night chicken tenders, DIY smoothies or stir-fry for dinner. There is so much more to our official student center than the café, however, and a variety of students have learned that an excursion downstairs can lead to a new favorite study spot or weekend hangout space. Whether you’re playing pool or hunting for school supplies, a multitude of rooms in Collis basement offer something for everyone.
While the weather may not have felt especially springy, the sundresses and shorts still came out in full swing for pre-Green Key. A favorite for many students across campus, this weekend Key includes four main Greek events: Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity's Pigstick, Bones Gate fraternity's Derby (or anti-Derby, if you so choose), Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority's Derby and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity's SPEakeasy. Dartbeat decided to take a look at your fun and frivolous photos from the weekend and share some of our favorites!
My freshman year I had a room in Russell Sage facing Silsby over the path toward the Rocky overhang. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I awoke from my post-10s, pre-2s nap (if you were a perpetual night-owl with a 9L you would do it, too) to the sound of a tour guide's voice drifting into my open window advertising the wonderful Rocky programs, blah blah blah, something about international studies. While the core spiel remained the same, the tour guide sometimes tried to add a personal spin to it.
YouTube channel Devon and Jake's Symbiotic Studios produced a video to Pharrell's 'Happy.' Students, faculty and members of the community danced around campus while lip-syncing the song. Jake Gaba '16, Yesuto Shaw '15 and Jeremy Thibodeau '14 created the video in the hopes of spreading happiness around campus.
There is a concept in engineering known as the “signal to noise ratio” – when a signal is transmitted in any communication system, the receiver will detect the signal along with a certain amount of background noise. The idea is to keep this ratio above 1:1, so that the signal is more prominent than the background noise. Otherwise, the information the system needs to operate will be lost.
If you’re a ’17 (or have the same D-Plan as my ’14 friend who hasn’t been on for spring since his freshman year), you’re probably wondering why people are making such a fuss about this weekend.
With this not-so-springy springtime weather, who isn’t looking for a quick little pick-me-up once in a while? Jake Gaba ’16, Yesuto Shaw ’15 and Jeremy Thibodeau ’14 recognized this demand and took it upon themselves to spread some happiness around campus.

Over 13X, I would often walk into Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity and be aurally bombarded with the sound of snare drums, guitar solos and random lyrics. At the time, I did not know too much about the four AXA ’15s who would soon come to call themselves “Burn the Barn” (a name attributed to the fraternity’s lore). However, they seemed like an established enough band given that I happened to overhear their melodious jam sessions almost any time I was in or around the green house near the end of Webster Ave.
Picture this – I’m scrolling through my Instagram feed, seeing food, study abroad scenery and #tbt shots, when suddenly I see three pictures from three different people tagged #100happydays. Which made me laugh, because those of you who know me know that while I am generally a happy person, there is not a soul in the world who would say any of the following things about me – “She’s always so cheerful!” “She’s literally always smiling!” “I wish I could be as positive as she is!”
The third (and, as some say, “real”) Dimensions program is this weekend, which means that tons of ’18s will be all up in your business on Thursday and Friday. They’ll show up in your classes and run into you in the bathroom, but mostly they’ll just be EVERYWHERE in the pre-schmobs known as tour groups. Plan a little extra time to get to class, or just plow through crowds of people on the way to your 11. It’s Dimensions time, and here’s what you’ll be thinking.
After hours of deliberation, I have compiled the most influential list of our time: a ranking of Dartmouth presidents by hairstyle. I carefully examined each hairstyle, looking for creativity, manageability, shape and texture before determining my score.It ultimately came down to how well the presidents worked with the hair they had.Some hair defied gravity, some hair grew in thick and others’ hair stopped growing in. My final verdict: while being Dartmouth’s president may be one of the most chic jobs out there, be warned that it may also cause hair loss. Without further ado, here are the 18 most stylish presidents, in order from meh to oh la la!
1. You’re super warm and cozy in the winter.
