Starting in January 2025, students will have the option to swipe in at the Class of 1953 Commons with palm biometric recognition technology provided by Idemia — a technology company that specializes in biometrics and cryptography — rather than with physical ID cards, according to Dartmouth Dining director Jon Plodzik.

From crafting the perfect Collis smoothie order to claiming a favorite study spot on campus, students are slowly settling into their termly routines. For some, Collis Governing Board Trivia — hosted every Thursday at 9 p.m., either at Collis Common Ground or in One Wheelock — is a weekly fixture in their calendars. Armed with plates of pizza and garlic knots, students gather in groups of up to six to jot down answers, showing off their general knowledge and taking home prizes.

With the start of a new school year, the Class of 2025 is counting down to the day that they’ve worked towards for the last four years: Commencement. The dream of celebrating with peers and parents, diploma in hand, is what keeps many of us going during a particularly tough week studying on third floor Berry. Graduating from an institution like Dartmouth is an accomplishment on its own, but the cherry on top often comes in the form of a famed Commencement Day speaker crediting the senior class’s successes.

The 26-year-old wheelchair tennis savant is the top-ranked American male wheelchair tennis player and an assistant coach for Dartmouth’s men’s varsity tennis team. Born with the rare disease spina bifida in 1988 — a decade after the first integrated Olympic and Paralympic games — Ratzlaff has grown up in the world of adaptive sports. He has racked up numerous accolades in his young career, winning a silver medal at the 2019 Parapan American Games games in Peru and representing the United States on seven World Team Cups.

A few days ago, I decided that I would write this week’s Editor’s Note about trying to slow down and pay more attention to my surroundings. Mere hours ago, I was out on a run and, in a cruel display of irony, my advice came back to haunt me. For a moment, I stopped paying attention to the road beneath my feet and started mentally cataloging my to-do list. I promptly tripped and scraped my knee, hand and elbow, leaving me to run the last mile back to campus covered in blood and extremely upset.

From the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict to the two assassination attempts against former president Donald Trump to Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, 2024 has proven to be one of the most politically memorable years in recent history. With the uncertainties of this election season coming to a head as November approaches, it can be frustrating — and, at times, even exhausting — to remain completely knowledgeable about the ever-changing political climate.

After being away from campus for three months on summer break, I drove up West Wheelock Street and noticed an unusual abundance of green-netted fences. I turned to my left and realized something was off — Collis Center and Robinson Hall were almost completely obstructed from view.
