Razavi: Politics Is An Attention Game

(02/06/25 9:00am)

Two weeks ago, I sat in my German class, GERM 65.02, “German Humor,” discussing the movie “To Be or Not To Be.” Released in 1942, the movie aimed to satirize the Third Reich and its invasion of Poland.

Q&A with government professor Jennifer Lind post-Senate testimony

(02/06/25 10:00am)

On Jan. 30, government professor Jennifer Lind testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a hearing titled “The Malign Influence of the People’s Republic of China at Home and Abroad: Recommendations for Policy Makers.” During the hearing, Lind, who specializes in United States-China relations, spoke about China’s foreign influence, both malign and mundane. The Dartmouth sat down with Lind to discuss her first time experience testifying in front of the committee and how she believes the United States should use lessons from great power politics — competition between sovereign states with significant economic and military strength — to respond to China’s growing influence on U.S. citizens.

Editor’s Note

(02/05/25 8:00am)

Winter Carnival has crept up on us, and we are once again reminded that gone are the days of the Psi Upsilon keg-jumping contest, Winter Carnival Queen and towering snow sculptures. Though these traditions have since passed us by, I know many students who still carry with them an idealized image of what the weekend should hold, referential and nostalgic for a past they, or even some of their parents who went to Dartmouth, never experienced.

Fast-Tracking the Future: Students Reflect on Graduating Early

(02/05/25 8:10am)

The broad contours of most students’ D-Plans are similar. According to the Undergraduate Deans Office website, students must spend 12 terms on campus, usually taking three classes per term. This allows them to take three leave terms and finish their degree four years after they matriculate, hopefully a little wiser and ready to go out into the world. Some students, though, have other plans and petition to graduate a term early, during the winter of their senior year. While these students often still walk with their class in June, they apply for their degree in the winter and do not take classes their senior spring.

Reflection: SAD (Sick at Dartmouth)

(02/05/25 8:15am)

When I was first struck down with illness during week six of my freshman fall, I honestly felt a little bit of joy. According to Dick’s House, I had a nebulous ailment — either the flu, cold or some unknown virus. I felt like a pile of bricks, but it forced me to take a break from my grueling schedule of: class, activity, meal, exercise, rinse and repeat.

Hanover’s Hot Topic: The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab

(02/05/25 8:05am)

The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, known more commonly as CRREL, sits unassuming only about two miles north of campus. I, for one, have passed it frequently on drives up to Lyme or the Skiway — but had yet to fully understand the story behind the military laboratory that works to solve “strategically important problems … in cold and complex regions.” That is, until I spoke to the Dartmouth professors and students who research there.

Finding Queer Community in Mainstream Greek Life

(02/19/25 8:20am)

As a queer person, I had concerns about fitting into Dartmouth’s historically heteronormative social spaces. When you think of stereotypical Greek life, “inclusive” is not exactly the first word that comes to mind.

Leslie: Hanover is Dartmouth

(02/04/25 9:00am)

Online shopping is easy, rapid and effortless. It lives in our phones, shopping carts and, ultimately, through our packages at Hinman. As we continue to spend more time online, we have begun to neglect how and where we live. After years of digitalization, Dartmouth students are slowly losing their connection to Hanover and its small business community. Local business leaders have told me, as many students can attest, that the character of Hanover’s Main Street has become increasingly corporate and bland. Meaningful experiences between Dartmouth and the Hanover community are gradually fading. To revitalize the Town, we as Dartmouth students need to reconsider our consumption habits and rebuild a connection with Hanover.
