Lack of snow in Hanover slows down business
(01/08/16 3:35am)
With temperatures reaching 69 degrees on Christmas Eve, the town of Hanover experienced a record-breaking warm December and holiday season. The unusually high temperatures — an effect of El Niño, where warm bands of ocean air hovered over the Upper Valley — caused local ski resorts to stay closed and the Connecticut River to remain unfrozen into January.
Dartbeat Asks: Things I Wish I Knew as a Freshman
(09/23/15 7:55am)
’19s, we know that plunging so suddenly into everything that is Dartmouth can be overwhelming. Hopefully you’re loving life as you rush from Collis’ stir-fry line to a spikeball game on the Green, to club tennis practice, to the Tower Room, to dinner at FoCo, and then finally back to your dorm where you “do homework” by chatting with your floormates until 4 a.m. To help you navigate your way through the craziness of freshman year, Dartbeat checked with some ’18s — who most recently took the daunting everything-Dartmouth plunge — about things they wish they knew last year as freshman. Keep these tips in mind as you start to make Dartmouth home. “I wish I knew that it’s okay to not go out three times a week, every week. I wouldn’t have missed anything, and I definitely could’ve used the extra sleep. I also regret not applying to a DOC winter break trip!” —Dru Falco ’18
Looking Back

Now that your freshman fall is around the corner, it’s time to get pumped for all the wonder ful experiences ahead: new people, countless oppor tunities and an amazing academic experience are all near on the horizon.
Harary: Small Town, Big Community
(08/21/15 10:08pm)
When I ask friends about what drew them to Dartmouth — and what makes the College stand out amongst the other Ivy League universities — they often refer to the strong outdoor culture and the appeal of the down-to-earth atmosphere. As I progress in my own Dartmouth experience, I am realizing more and more that this appraisal is right on the mark. The opportunity to take advantage of the outdoors — whether it be a day on the slopes at the Dartmouth Skiway or a weekend trip to Moosilauke Lodge — often proves to be the perfect antidote to a taxing week of studying for midterms or writing essays. The New Hampshire landscape is an inextricable part of the College’s ethos and as such continues to play an integral part in the Dartmouth student experience. This is reflected in the symbol of the Lone Pine proudly emblazoned on the College’s flag, as well as in the motto “vox clamantis in deserto,” or “the voice of one crying out in the wilderness.” It is nearly impossible to leave the College without gaining an appreciation for the outdoors and the value that it can add to everyday life, from the very start of Freshman year, with First-Year Trips, to the singing of the Alma Mater at graduation — “And the granite of New Hampshire, in their muscles and their brains”.
6 Sunshine-Filled Activities Near Campus

1. Tan on the Green Nothing will make you feel more like the quintessential Dartmouth student. Not only is the Green super facetimey, but you’re also getting a tan after becoming ghostly pale over the dark winter. Bring work if you want people to think you’re studious, or just take a nap under the pretense that you don’t have any. 2. Go canoeing/kayaking Summon your inner rower and head down to the Ledyard Clubhouse to rent a canoe or kayak. You can row to one of the river’s College-owned islands to have a snack or explore one of the DOC cabins, or just float along. If you’re lucky you can get a new profile picture of out it that makes you look attractive, crunchy and really happy.
Alt To Some, In To Many

“Dartmouth is a party school.” It’s hard to guess how many times I heard this phrase when I was accepted to Dartmouth, but if I had to make a approximation for the sake of this article, I’d guess it was somewhere in the thousands. I heard it from snarky adults who had never been north of the Mason-Dixon line. I heard it from friends at graduation parties. I heard it from concerned elderly people in the grocery store. Sometimes I even heard it from the small, scared voice inside of my head. Nevertheless, I lugged my straight-laced, sleep-loving, decidedly sober self all the way to New Hampshire and hoped for the best.
Through the Looking Glass: A Different Reflection
(10/30/14 11:45pm)
Whether you are into it or not, this thought has crossed each and everyone’s mind in one way or another at some point during their Dartmouth career. By sophomore year, it becomes a burning hot topic, making the question more exciting for some, and increasingly harder to avoid for others.
'When it all shakes out': a look at rush
(10/17/14 2:43am)
On a warm September night, a group of male students walked past Gold Coast Lawn, past an outdoor fall concert. One pulled at his jacket as he made his way toward Webster Avenue.
Curfew rumors false, officials say
(10/17/14 1:54am)
Safety and Security is not imposing a curfew or changing its party-monitoring practices. A rumor circulating Wednesday and Thursday suggested that Safety and Security would shut down parties and require non-members to leave Greek houses by 1 a.m. on weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends, but College officials have confirmed that this is false.
Houses to grow permaculture gardens
(10/14/14 10:19pm)
Starting this fall, several Greek houses will work with Sustainability Office intern Malcolm Salovaara ’17 to explore the option of planting permaculture gardens in their houses.The gardens would grow plants and vegetables that only needed to be planted once and could be harvested each year.
Guide to DOC Cabins
(10/03/14 8:00am)
I spent this summer on the Dartmouth Outing Club’s Cabin and Trail Crew. It was a summer filled withstimulating intellectual conversations, crack (this, NOTthis), shenanigans and lots of manual labor. I injured my shoulder while doing work during the third week and got put on the injured-squad of cabin crew. This meant that I spent the next seven weeks traveling from cabin to cabin chopping wood, cleaning and dealing with moremouse poopthan I ever care to see again. Through this summer I discovered what, in my opinion, is the most under-utilized resource Dartmouth has to offer —beautifully maintainedcabins all over the wilderness of New Hampshire. Here is a guide to the best that each cabin has to offer, as well as how to rent a cabin.
DOC sees higher membership

Next weekend, around 30 students in teams of three or four will embark on the Fifty, a 53.6-mile hike from campus to Mount Moosilauke’s summit. Hike organizers said the trip usually takes about 30 hours, and hikers are supported by five different stations. This fall, 75 people applied to hike and more than 130 applied to support.
Brooks: Define Your Dartmouth
(08/08/14 1:48pm)
Hello ’18s! Welcome to Dartmouth. I remember well when I first found out I had been accepted to the Dartmouth and the feeling of happiness and relief that accompanied it. You had to work hard to get where you are now. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished.
Editors' Note
(04/17/14 8:05pm)
Wednesday night Jasmine went to a Cords show where she heard the song that would revolutionize her Thursday. As she sat on the sticky first floor of Psi U, she heard lyrics that touched her very deeply. “And when you say you won’t forget me / Well I can tell you that’s untrue / ’cause every day since you left me / I've thought less and less of you.” Damn, she thought. So indignant, dismissive and a little bitchy as well. And so she listened to “Changing of the Seasons” by the Two Door Cinema Club as soon as she got back to her dorm that night. She listened to it until she fell asleep. She listened to it on the way to her x-hour the next morning. She listened to it heading up the stairs to The D’s office to work on The Mirror.
Life Advice From Marian
(04/10/14 9:13pm)
Dartmouth students do plenty of “experiential learning” — maybe not the kind that College President Phil Hanlon has campaigned for. But simply being a college student necessitates experiential learning. As I enter the beginning of the end of junior year (aka the end of third week of term), I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned about Dartmouth so far. While I like to consider myself an active, in-the-know member of the Dartmouth community, I mistook a group of overeager high school Model United Nations students for Dimensions prospies a few weekends ago. I was also unaware that Dimensions is going to be taking place over three separate weekends this year until I told this story to my friend the other day. With that information in mind, I have some advice for you underclassmen (as well as any ’18s reading this, if this weekend happens to be one of the Dimensions weekends). Take it at your own risk.
Steinberg '15 remembered for positive, inclusive nature
(03/12/14 9:41am)
Dressed in neon pink tights, a sequined shirt and a black cape, Blaine Steinberg ’15 sat in Dartmouth Broadcasting’s studio, describing her typical Sunday afternoon to the station’s general manager. Under the name D.J. Blizzle, Steinberg listed her daily routine: she would do CrossFit with her father and then watch her favorite sport of the season: football, hockey or baseball.
DOC to offer financial aid for outdoor programs
(03/04/14 12:41am)
A new financial aid program set to launch this spring break will ease the cost of outdoor activities like spending a night at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, renting a Dartmouth Outing Club cabin and hiking through the Grand Canyon.
Dartmouth: The Next Generation
(02/28/14 2:01am)
The survey was simple, comprised of only five questions: Gender? Class year? Are you affiliated or unaffiliated? Would you send your son to Dartmouth? Would you send your daughter? Most respondents took less than a minute to answer. When asked to elaborate on the questions, however, I got more variety than the survey could ever provide.
Carnival's Traditions, Changing With Time
(02/06/14 8:57pm)
The College has no shortage of traditions, from laps around the Homecoming bonfire to the semi-legal late-night swim that is the Ledyard Challenge. During past Winter Carnivals, however, some combination of cabin fever and a College-sanctioned holiday have driven students to come up with some downright ridiculous traditions.
