“Credit or debit?” Jack Stinson asks his next customer at the Stinson’s Village Store’s front counter, pausing our interview to ring up local cheese and a soda.
You walk into Foco for dinner and look for a place to sit. On dark side, you see the members of the football team sitting at the tables near the drink station. On light side, you see the men’s hockey team at a long table and hear them discussing how the Toronto Maple Leafs will choke in the playoffs again. Throughout Foco, you struggle to find room to squeeze in among the various clusters of black, Dartmouth varsity athletics parkas. Though Dartmouth emphasizes cultivating community, some say there is a divide between the social culture of athletes and “NARPs” — non-athletic regular people — on campus.
Polling all undergraduates, The Dartmouth asked the student body about their current relationship status, views on the D-Plan and how it impacts relationships, flitz habits, use of the matchmaking algorithm Marriage Pact and feelings about Valentine’s Day, among other topics. The following four sections detail survey participants’ responses.
Ah, Valentine’s Day, the time when stores push what I like to call the three classics: chocolates, candy and cards. Others, mainly those in romantic relationships, are prone to paint Valentine’s Day in a more generous light. They mark it as a time to treasure their significant other by buying flowers, making gift baskets or going on a dinner date to Molly’s. All of this is possible with close physical proximity, which some students with partners on campus may take for granted. But how do you celebrate such a holiday when your significant other is hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away?
At Dartmouth, some students delay their graduation due to reasons such as COVID-19, complications with their D-Plan, a desire to play an extra season with their sports team or other reasons. Although this decision can be filled with challenges, these students see the extra time in Hanover as worthwhile.
If you noticed a swarm of girls in fur coats and black dresses hightailing toward Theta Delta Chi fraternity two weekends ago, you’re not going crazy. That night, TDX hosted their Mafia-themed semi-formal, and the majority of attendees committed to a Sopranos-esque style.
One of the best ways to make Valentine’s Day special is to plan the perfect date. Dating in Hanover can feel public and sometimes limiting, but many students have their favorite places to get away from campus to spend time with someone they care about. From restaurants, to coffee shops, to quiet spots in nature, each potential date spot has its own perks.
On the evening of Saturday, Feb. 10, an ice sculpture carved by members of the Muslim student association, Al-Nur, was vandalized and destroyed, according to a campus-wide email sent from Dean of the College Scott Brown. The next morning, the sculpture was found broken on the ground, with the Palestinian flag lying beside smaller Israeli flags on the ground, according to photos obtained by The Dartmouth. The ice sculpture was created as part of the Winter Carnival ice sculpture contest and originally depicted an outline of Palestine, with a Palestinian flag draped across the podium underneath the sculpture.
The Dartmouth Chinese Culture Society and the Hopkins Center for the Arts hosted events this past weekend in celebration of Lunar New Year, which took place on Feb. 10. Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated across Asia to mark the start of a new year in the lunar calendar, with traditions that include wearing the color red, giving and receiving red envelopes full of cash and reuniting with family.
The Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies received a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Health to promote diversity within the biomedical research field — part of the NIH’s Initiative for Maximizing Student Development Program. Guarini will receive the grant across the next five years to support this initiative, according to a Dartmouth News press release.

On Jan. 24, the College announced in a press release that it purchased the property at 1 South Main St. from the Casque & Gauntlet Trust. According to the statement, the building — which sits at the southwest kitty-corner of the Green — served as the residential space for the student members of the Casque & Gauntlet senior society from the time of its acquisition by the C&G Trust in 1894 to 2020.
Students exhibited mixed reactions to College President Sian Beilock’s Feb. 5 announcement that the College will reinstate the SAT and ACT admissions requirement beginning with the Class of 2029. This decision reversed the College’s test-optional policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic.
