On Jan. 3, parliamentary debate team members Ryan Lafferty ’26 and Madeleine Wu ’26 placed first at the World Universities Debating Championship in Panama City, Panama. Lafferty and Wu became the first-ever Dartmouth pair to win the tournament — and the first U.S.-based team to win in seven years.
On Jan. 9, former Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., was officially sworn in as the 83rd governor of New Hampshire. Ayotte — who defeated former Democratic Manchester, N.H., mayor Joyce Craig in the gubernatorial election last November — succeeds Gov. Chris Sununu, who spent four terms in office.
Whether through clubs, ensembles or academic departments, Dartmouth students are given several outlets to engage with the arts. Despite some perceptions of a corporate focus on campus, several creative students continue to pursue art — both professionally and personally — after graduation.
In a gaudy Las Vegas chapel, Brooklyn stripper Anora — played by Mikey Madison — marries Mark Eydelshteyn’s Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch. Two weeks later, the couple is divorced. You probably aren’t surprised. Sean Baker’s new film, “Anora,” is about the bloom and collapse of an improbable dream. It’s disappointing; we’d like to believe in the Cinderella story, that hierarchy can be ignored and discarded so that myth may emerge in its place. Baker refuses to deliver that satisfaction. In “Anora,” the fantasy crumbles into dust — albeit glittery, Brighton Beach dust. We are left only with Anora’s sadness.
Whether watching a lecture in Dartmouth Hall, grabbing a coffee at Novack Cafe or on the way to Occom pond, it is hard to miss the varied pieces of public art across Dartmouth’s campus.
On Oct. 1, 2024, Kathryn Bezella started as the dean of undergraduate admissions, a new position focusing specifically on undergraduates. She reports to dean of admissions and financial aid Lee Coffin, who was promoted from vice provost for enrollment to vice president in September 2023. Bezella primarily focuses on admitting undergraduates, while Coffin guides Dartmouth’s broader admissions goals. Prior to joining Dartmouth, Bezella most recently worked as vice dean and director of strategy and innovation for undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania from 2023 to 2024. During her time as a student at Barnard College, and for several years after, Bezella was heavily involved in opera and performance. The Dartmouth sat down with Bezella to discuss her background in admissions and priorities for undergraduate admissions at the College.
On Jan. 7, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta is ending its “fact-checking” program on its social media platforms. The system of community notes written by platform users “decide[s] when posts are potentially misleading or need more context,” according to Meta’s website. In an online video, Zuckerberg said that “It’s time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram.” Some on social media fear the decision will allow for “the freedom of disinformation” and the valuing of “misinformation over democracy.” USA Today even released an article headlined “Why Meta went MAGA.”
During her Oct. 11, 2024, “State of Community” address to faculty, Beilock remarked, “As much as we care what alumni think and will continue to listen on critical issues affecting our community, it is the faculty and staff and leadership in this room and on our campus that shape our direction.” This comment reveals a dangerous disconnect between how Beilock views alumni — arguably the College’s backbone — and other community members. We are concerned about how College President Sian Leah Beilock reorganizes the College at an institutional level.
Somewhere in West Texas last September, Bond Almand IV ’26 lapped water from a cow trough. The cyclist was out of water, and the next town was 20 miles away. He sweltered under 106 degree heat as a forest of oil rigs stretched out before him.
How do you tell a story that doesn’t want to be told? The better question, perhaps, is why even try?
On Dec. 19, 2024, Still North Books & Bar — an independent bookstore and cafe located at 3 Allen Street — celebrated its five-year anniversary with a public event featuring food, games and an open mic. Approximately 100 people attended the celebration, which lasted from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Two restaurants opened in downtown Hanover last month. Casa Brava Tapas Bistro, located in the South Street Hotel, serves “international tapas” — a traditionally Spanish small-plate style of cooking — according to owner James Van Kirk. Meanwhile, Little Havana offers authentic Cuban cuisine in a “homey family meal” environment at 15 Lebanon Street, according to co-owner Maylena Chaviano.
After the rest of the student body went home for winter break, the Dartmouth men’s hockey team continued to grind at Thompson Arena, playing eight games throughout December.
Beginning this term, students can enter the Class of 1953 Commons using palm biometric recognition technology. In addition to the new system — which consists of three gates at the dining hall’s entrance — students can choose to swipe in with their physical ID cards at one remaining swiping station.
On Dec. 19, 2024, Dartmouth College Child Care Center employees voted 21-1-3 to join the Service Employees International Union, Local 560. The National Labor Relations Board certified their union on Dec. 30, according to College spokesperson Jana Barnello.
My winterim looked like this — five hours wearing a tangle of wires and detectors to image my brain for research, four showings of “Wicked” in theaters, three Christmas dinners, two drinks at Purdue University’s most famous bar and one impending move. Make no mistake — the last item in this list occupied far more of my time than these other, albeit narratively compelling, anecdotes.
The New York City automat is not dead!
When you walk into Rollins Chapel, it may be easy to miss the pipe organ located just past the entrance, flush against the chapel’s wall. It’s smoothly integrated into the architecture, built for the space by Austin Organs Inc. in the 1960s, according to College Chaplain and Tucker Center director Rev. Nancy Vogele ’85. Though its location is inconspicuous, the instrument is grand: it consists of 75 ranks — or sets of pipes — three manuals, or hand-operated keyboards, and a set of pedalboards, which are foot-operated.
There’s nothing like buying good quality, well-sourced clothes — a conscious effort in our current era of Shein hauls and Depop scammers. Luckily, in nearby Woodstock, Vt., lies a hidden gem: the vintage boutique Mahshu.
On Dec. 13, 2024, the College offered admission to the first members of the Class of 2029 from a pool of 3,550 early decision applicants. Though the College has not released the number of accepted students, the rate is consistent with previous years, according to Dartmouth News.
