It creeps up on me every now and then.
Moreton, Huang and Voekel: Staff and Faculty Open Letter In Response to the College’s ‘Day for Community’
(05/29/24 8:05am)
We appreciate that our colleagues working on student well-being face incredible pressure and are constrained by Dartmouth’s definition of the problem. We were, nonetheless, stunned by the framing of the May 23 “Day for Community” as a “journey of reflection, connection and community building following the protest on the Green on May 1,” according to a message from the College’s chief health and wellness officer, Estevan Garcia. Last Thursday’s event was advertised as an opportunity for healing — healing, apparently, from the peaceful May 1 protest, but not from the mass arrests, physical injuries and collective harm inflicted on students, faculty and staff by the police response to that protest.
TTLG: The Dartmouth Spirit Is A Joyful One
(05/29/24 7:10am)
Back in the tranquil days of my senior year of high school, at the height of college application season, my Dartmouth interviewer asked me, “What would you like your legacy to be when you graduate?” Ambitiously, I answered along the lines of, “I’d like to have done my part to make Dartmouth a better place.”
Editor’s Note

Maybe it’s because I’m writing this on three hours of sleep, but I’ve begun to lose track of the all-nighters I’ve pulled this term.
Passing the (First Year Trips) Torch
(05/29/24 7:20am)
After meeting my First Year Trips leaders at the start of my freshman year, I wondered if I would ever feel as knowledgeable and settled at Dartmouth as they seemed to be. Now, as I look back at my fall term self, who felt utterly unprepared for college and living away from my family, it is remarkable how much more I feel like my Trip Leaders, who I looked up to not even a year ago.
Green Key From Outside the Woods
(05/29/24 7:25am)
From Duke Ellington to the Grateful Dead, Neon Trees to this year’s headliner, Shaggy, Green Key — Dartmouth’s annual spring concert — has hosted artists representing nearly every genre of music. Thanks to the performers and the accompanying weekend events, Green Key is widely considered the most exciting weekend of spring term. Unlike most terms at Dartmouth — fall devolving into barren trees and fading tans, winter becoming numbingly cold and inconceivably slushy — spring seems to get better and better, with Green Key acting as the light at the end of the tunnel.

Digging Dartmouth’s Past?
(05/29/24 7:30am)
Few who walk past the lawn between Parkhurst Hall and McNutt Hall know that the remains of an 18th-century house lie beneath the grass. According to anthropology professor Jesse Casana, the so-called Brown House, built in 1790, passed through different owners before eventually housing Susan Brown and her daughters from 1850 to 1900.
Reflection: What’s in a Woccom?
(05/29/24 7:40am)
Like many college students, I find comfort in routine — Monday laundry, coffee in between classes and my daily woccom, a walk around Occom Pond. Despite the ever-changing landscape of freshman year, I most enjoy the activities that I know will be the same week-to-week. The Saturday of Green Key, however, my routine was suddenly altered when I tripped over a tree root at the Gamma Delta Chi D.J. set. The next morning, I couldn’t walk and had to make a trip to the emergency room with a sprained ankle. As I fiddled with my hospital wristband, awaiting my X-ray results, I wasn’t concerned with how the injury would affect my treks to classes. I was wondering if I would miss my daily woccom.

Verbum Ultimum: We Urge More Transparency from Dartmouth Student Government
(05/24/24 8:00am)
On May 2 — one day after the pro-Palestinian protest on the Green — Dartmouth Student Government sent an email to the student body about the prior night’s events. In their message to campus, DSG wrote that it was “deeply troubled by the administration’s decision to arrest … students, faculty and community members.” DSG expressed concern for student safety, the prohibition of arrested students from some campus spaces and the insufficient dialogue between administration and protesters. Over the following days, DSG continued to discuss the protest and their next steps. During a public meeting on May 5, DSG passed a vote of no confidence in College leadership, which Student Body President Jessica Chiriboga ’24 vetoed. Chiriboga said she rejected the motion “because several senators expressed interest in deliberating [the issue] further,” according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. DSG then moved to a closed session that same day, where it held a second vote of no confidence — one that failed to pass. Following this second vote, DSG then passed the decision on to their constituents by organizing a student body referendum, which resulted in a slight majority voting no confidence in Beilock.

With a 2023-2024 budget of $394,000, what role does Programming Board play in organizing the College’s largest concert event?
