On Feb. 20, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and Dartmouth Dialogues co-hosted attorney, women’s rights activist and Brandeis University professor Anita Hill for the final event of the 2024 Election Speaker Series.
The Big Green has risen from the ashes. After a miserable 2023-24 season — in which the team finished 6-21 and last in the Ivy League, with a 2-12 conference record — Dartmouth has taken a dramatic step up in its play this season. The Big Green is 13-11 and, sitting at second place in the Ivy League at 7-4, has a chance to earn its first winning season since 1999. With an opportunity to play spoiler in Ivy Madness next month, The Dartmouth has found itself asking: Why is Dartmouth men’s basketball suddenly an Ivy League contender? Could this be the season to end the 66-year NCAA tournament drought for the Big Green?
One month ago, Dartmouth had the lead against Princeton University, but a Xaivian Lee dagger three with six seconds left snatched away the win. This time, Dartmouth grabbed the lead early and never let go.
As spring nears, Dartmouth Athletics is beginning a new season of competition. With a mix of new and returning players, many of the College’s spring sports teams are reconfigured — last year’s captains have graduated, and first-years are set to begin collegiate play. Every roster is seeking glory. While there are more Big Green teams competing this spring than the ones listed below, these spotlighted few have their only season — or, in the case of tennis, primary season — in the spring.
How many of you have walked home at 2 a.m. in freezing weather? Missed the last bus to Summit on Juniper and found yourself without a place to sleep? Woken up with the flu or some other mystery illness and needed a ride to Dick’s House — yet opting, without a car, to trek 15 minutes through the snow with tissues and cough drops falling from your pockets?
This winter term, the Palaeopitus Senior Society announced a partnership with the Office of Visa and Immigration Services to support undergraduate students applying for B-2 tourist visas for international family members to attend Commencement.
On Feb. 18, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy hosted Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., for a conversation about bipartisanship and the Democratic Party.
In the spirit of the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the “White Lotus” season premiere — “Same Spirits, New Forms” — delivers exactly what its title promises. For those unfamiliar, the “spirit” of the White Lotus television series centers around a luxury resort enterprise functioning as a cultural refuge for the hyper-rich. Far from broke, the Emmy award-winning first and second seasons of “White Lotus” cemented themselves in the zeitgeist as a satirical exploration of America’s ever-expanding wealth gap. Each season thus far has transformed the serene utopia of a Four Seasons property into a crime scene where everything that can go wrong, does, and where somebody innocent is sure to end up dead.
On Feb. 10, the FUERZA Farmworkers’ Fund, a mutual aid fund that supports farmworkers in rural Vermont and New Hampshire, and La Casa co-hosted a panel featuring Mexican women’s rights activist Olimpia Coral Melo. In 2021, Melo spearheaded advocacy for Mexico’s first law outlawing digital violence — also known as “revenge porn,” according to Melo — against women.
In recent years, our campus has been infected by what I have dubbed the “Wall Street Plague.” Each year, it seems like more and more students fall to the prospect of a career in finance — putting aside dreams of saving the world for the promise of late-night spreadsheets and lucrative pay days. This shift is backed up by the data: According to a 2006 survey of graduating seniors, 26% of Dartmouth’s graduating class was planning to pursue a career in the financial services sector. Nearly two decades later, in 2023, the percentage of graduating students working in finance during their first fall after graduation had risen to 33%, according to the Center for Professional Development.
Last quarter, a stump on the corner of the Green at the intersection of Main Street and West Wheelock Street became a bit of a campus sensation after a student fixed a Lorax plushie to it. Above the stuffed toy, a sign read the iconic words: “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.” The stunt was a fun example of our student body’s humor, but it may also have been trying to tell us something more. If the Lorax could speak for the Dartmouth trees, what would he say? His message might be pretty concerning.
At a media event on Feb. 14, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center chief research officer Steven Bernstein said funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump’s administration could “severely hinder” research at Dartmouth and DHMC.
On Feb. 15, the Dartmouth Undergraduate Science Olympiad, which was founded last fall, hosted more than 200 New England high school students in the Life Sciences Center for its first Science Olympiad. During the student-run science competition, contestants each participated in two to four events out of 24 total events, including written tests, lab experiments and engineering activities, according to chapter president Sarah Parigela ’27.
When I think about my past nights out on campus, my cherished memories are accompanied by a musical soundtrack. There’s a reason why I had LF System’s “Afraid to Feel” stuck in my head all last winter, and why this year I can’t stop singing the main chorus from the NOTION remix of Chrystal’s “The Days.” These rhythms served as the backdrop to nights spent in a sweaty fraternity, packed into a room dancing with friends or a now-gone situationship. Whether bringing on a wave of nostalgia, releasing negative emotions, building shared bonds among friends or becoming incessant earworms, the sounds of Dartmouth — particularly those playing in fraternity basements — never seem to quiet themselves.
When I think about it for too long, the idea of originality makes me a little nauseous. In a fit of nostalgia — and a desire to procrastinate studying for an exam — I reread my Common Application essay earlier this week, which centered around the feeling that everything I write was destined to be a worse version of something that’s already been created.
In February, wintry weather is unavoidable at Dartmouth — from the freezing temperatures to the snow-filled walkways, the cold is sure to follow wherever you go. While some students respond by hunkering down indoors, students in BIOL 61, “End of Winter: Winter Ecology,” are instead choosing to brave the cold.
