We’re so excited that in a few short weeks, you will be coming to Dartmouth! While there is going to be tons of advice for your new life at the College in this issue, we have a few pieces of our own. First, don’t be that kid who wears your lanyard ever ywhere. Second, college is not high school. Now is your chance to become a new person and do that thing that always terrified you. Always wanted to tr y your hand at a capella? Go for it. Third, ever yone at Dartmouth, from your roommate to your Writing 5 professor to the kid who has the table next to you in the librar y has something to teach you. Take advantage of that. There is so much to learn at the College outside of classes if you keep an open mind. Fourth, don’t worr y if you don’t meet your best friends on the ver y first day. You will definitely find people who you click with, the people who will shape some of the best adventures of your life. Just give it a little bit of time. Finally, remember to pack warm socks. Being stuck with wet feet in the middle of Februar y when you have to sprint to class is not fun. We wish you the best of luck and hope that you’ll enjoy this issue and all the information inside. — Amelia Rosch, Hannah Hye Min Chung and Kassie Amann

Past year marked by Hanlon presidency, student unrest B y Axel Hufford

The Dartmouth Senior Staff

Beginning with the inauguration of College President Phil Hanlon, 2013-14 was an eventful year for the College with a series of transformations. As Hanlon settled into his new role and began to institute his vision, the year was defined by new initiatives, administrative departures and student protests. Before Hanlon’s arrival, the College has faced protest and media scrutiny. In April 2012, Rolling Stone magazine published an article “Confessions of an Ivy League Frat boy,” covering hazing at Dartmouth, particularly in the Greek system. The article chiefly focused on the experiences of former Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity member Andrew Lohse ’12, who alleged that the Greek system cultivates “pervasive hazing, substance abuse and sexual assault.” The exposé brought national attention to the College and to the impact of hazing in fraternities and sororities across the country. In April 2013, a group of students held a protest, arguing that Dartmouth has problems such as sexual assault and racism, during Dimensions weekend. After the

Dimensions protest, the protestors were reportedly harassed and threatened by name on Bored at Baker, an online message board that hosts anonymous comments by Dartmouth students and alumni. This campus-wide backlash led to class cancellation for a day of reflection and discussion.

Hanlon clarifies his vision After serving as College President since July 2013, Hanlon’s official inauguration took place in September, during which he stressed the importance of strengthening undergraduate education and expanding global impact. During the speech, Hanlon introduced the Society of Fellows program, an initiative to bring postdoctoral scholars to campus, and the creation of an innovation center to develop an entrepreneurial spirit in students. In November, Hanlon clarified his academic vision for the College. In a speech to the faculty, he expressed his commitment to creating an experiential learning environment and proposed to restructure the College’s graduate program to be more independent. Hanlon also spoke of his intent to decelerate the tuition increases, keeping tuition

flat with inflation. Later in the year, the College announced a tuition increase of 2.9 percent for 2014-15 academic year, while inflation was 2.1 percent during the 12 months ending in June 2014.

In the spring of 2014, Dartmouth received an anonymous donation of $100 million, the largest amount in College history, which will be used for academic initiatives and cross-disciplinary programs.

The first year of Hanlon’s tenure also coincided with significant administrative changes. From the start of his presidency, six senior SEE MEMORY PAGE 19

THE DARTMOUTH FRESHMEN ISSUE

Sexual assault dominates campus dialouge in a year of turmoil

B y Sean Connolly and sera KWOn The Dartmouth Staff

This story was originally published on May 16. A little over a year ago, a group of students interrupted a prospective students show chanting “Dartmouth has a problemâ€? and citing incidents of homophobia, racism and underreported sexual assaults. Both the chant and the issues have since become ingrained in the Dartmouth lexicon and discussions of campus events. It may seem inconceivable that a problem as severe as sexual assault could exist in the College’s idyllic setting. But in recent years, as students, alumni, faculty and staff have shared their narratives, many on campus have begun to grapple with a once-taboo subject. Since that weekend, the theme of sexual assault has consistently resurfaced in campus news and conversations. In May 2013, more \PIV [\]LMV\[ IVL IT]UVQ Ă…TML a Clery Act complaint against the College, alleging widespread sexual assault, aggression against the LGBTQ community and allies, racial and religious discrimination, hate crimes, bullying and hazing.

That month, Parker Gilbert ’16 was charged with seven counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass, of which he was fully acquitted this past March. A post on Bored at Baker this winter, which outlined the steps to ZIXM IV QLMV\QĂ…ML NMUITM UMUJMZ WN the Class of 2017, resulted in demonstrations of outrage and solidarity in support of the student. In February, the Department of Education’s 7NĂ…KM NWZ +Q^QT :QOP\[ KWVL]K\ML Q\[ second round of interviews as part of an ongoing Title IX investigation into the College. On Feb. 7, former Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson announced the creation of the Center for Community Action and Prevention. She said that the new KMV\MZ IQU[ \W Ă…VL šXWQV\[ WN KWVnectionâ€? for Dartmouth community members as well as external partners []KP I[ ?1;- I VWV XZWĂ…\ WZOIVQzation that provides 24-hour crisis intervention and support services for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault in Vermont and New Hampshire. On Feb. 24, a group of students released the “Freedom Budget.â€? Supporters held a sit-in inside ColTMOM 8ZM[QLMV\ 8PQT 0IVTWVÂź[ WNĂ…KM QV

April, insisting on a point-by-point response to the document’s 70-plus demands, which called for mandatory expulsion of a student found guilty of sexual assault or rape and the re-evaluation of the status of Greek life at Dartmouth as it relates to sexual assault. <PM Ă…Z[\ LIa WN \PM [Q\ QV 0IVTWV promised that the College would conduct a campus-wide survey to assess campus climate. A 2013 report by the Committee on Student Safety and Accountability recommended that the College partner with external social science experts to perform a data-driven campus study. In mid-March, a women’s rights activist group, UltraViolet, circulated a petition online “demanding the elite college take action to address its campus rape problem.â€? The petition garnered tens of thousands of signatures. On March 8, the Board of Trustees unanimously supported a proposal that would set a “strong presumptionâ€? that any sexual assault would result in expulsion, regardless of intent, means or a perpetrator’s prior violations. Under the new policy, the College would hire an external adjudicator to investigate sexual assault cases and end the current COS hearings.

The topic of sexual assault on college campuses has also been elevated in national discourse in recent months. In January, President Barack Obama established the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, which submitted its recommendations for a coordinated federal response to campus rape and sexual assault at the end of April. The report, titled “Not Alone,â€? announced steps to help universities identify the scope of campus sexual assault, bolster prevention efforts and respond effectively to support victims. The report also addressed transparency in federal enforcement efforts. .QN\a Ă…^M KWTTMOM[ IZM K]ZZMV\Ta under investigation for Title IX violations, the Education Department announced on May 1. <PM 7NNQKM NWZ +Q^QT :QOP\[ opened an independent investigation into possible Title IX and Clery Act violations at Dartmouth last May. On April 24, in an interview WV 6I\QWVIT 8]JTQK :ILQWÂź[ ,QIVM :MPU ;PW_ 0IVTWV IKSVW_TMLOML that the College still needs “a fundamental change in the social scene to end these high-risk behaviors.â€? He referenced an April 16 summit that discussed how to alter Dartmouth’s

social scene. Invitations to the closed summit were extended to 120 community members. A Shift in Tone As the College emerged from a year spent under considerable scrutiny, activists and observers have noted a considerable shift in the tone of discussion. Women’s and gender studies professor Michael Bronski credited student activism for sustaining campus discussion in the past few years. Drawing on his 14 years of teaching I\ \PM +WTTMOM *ZWV[SQ [IQL PM Ă…Z[\ saw public discussion on sexual assault in school publications, open forums and from the administration in 2006, when Dartmouth’s Ă…Z[\ WXMVTa OIa ;\]LMV\ )[[MUJTa president, Tim Andreadis ’07, was elected as a write-in running on a platform of ending sexual assault.

Freshmen ban in Greek houses will continue into this fall B y Laura weiss

In May 2013, the Greek Leadership Council passed a policy banning freshmen from attending Greek M^MV\[ [MZ^QVO ITKWPWT L]ZQVO \PM ÅZ[\ six weeks of the fall, with the goal WN XZW\MK\QVO \PM [INM\a WN ÅZ[\ aMIZ students and mitigating risk for Greek houses. Though a few organizations violated the policy last year, the rule again applies this fall, as proponents cite decrease in alcohol-related incidents as a successful element. <PM XWTQKa PMTX[ JW\P ÅZ[\ aMIZ students and Greek organizations, Safety and Security director Harry Kinne said. “Overall I think the six-week policy had a very positive calming MNNMK\ IVL _I[ ^MZa JMVMÅKQIT 1 \PQVS to all parties involved,” Kinne said. At the end of the six-week period, he said, there was not a huge increase in incidents, and he did not feel there _I[ I [QOVQÅKIV\ ZQ[M QV QVKQLMV\[ _Q\P ÅZ[\ aMIZ [\]LMV\[ PI^QVO ITKWPWT QV residence halls Members of the Class of 2017 said that the policy did not have a large impact on reducing underage LZQVSQVO J]\ LQL KPIVOM \PM ÅZ[\ aMIZ [\]LMV\¼[ [WKQIT [KMVM ZMÆMK\QVO

almost a year later. Grace Carney ’17 said she was originally disappointed about the policy, since she had heard a lot about Greek social life before coming to the College. In the fall, however, she realized that freshmen bonded with one another more because freshmanoriented activities were the only social options, she said. While the policy promoted class JWVLQVO +IZVMa KITTML ÅZ[\ aMIZ student drinking during that period “inherently more dangerous” because drinking in dormitories often involves hard alcohol, while fraternities generally only offer beer. “I think it made the social scene a little more unsafe,” she said. <PM ÅZ[\ [Q` _MMS[ _MZM I OWWL time to meet other freshmen, Chris Burkholder ’17 said. While he said he did not think it necessarily reduced ÅZ[\ aMIZ [\]LMV\[ LZQVSQVO [QVKM students had dormitory parties, Burkholder said the policy effectively protected fraternities. “It did show the College that it’s not necessarily the fraternities’ fault,” he said. ,]ZQVO \PM ÅZ[\ [Q` _MMS[ WN TI[\ fall, freshmen conceived of more creative ways to spend weekend nights and bond as a class, Mary Sieredzinski ’17 said. Not being able

to participate in Greek life, which a large percentage of campus is involved with, did feel exclusionary for freshmen, she said. The policy did not seem to stop people from drinking but to just stop freshmen from drinking in fraternities, she said. While she said she understands the policy’s intentions, Sieredzinski suggested a shorter period, especially since freshmen cannot go to fraternities during Homecoming under the current policy. As a varsity athlete, she [IQL Q\ _I[ UWZM LQNÅK]T\ \W JWVL _Q\P upperclassman teammates without going to Greek houses.

She also said that, since she did not decide to go to fraternities until spring term, the policy helped her have more things to do and adjust to college life. “Coming to college is a big adjustment and dealing with that kind of social scene is tough for incoming students,” she said. The policy promoted a good XZWOZIU NWZ JWVLQVO _Q\P ÆWWZ[ Will Burger ’17 said. But during the

For the Class of 2018, Carney advised waiting out the six weeks of

the policy. The period passes quickly, she said, and waiting is preferable to breaking the rules and possibly suffering the consequences.

students on the admissions website. He said he hoped that more students will get involved in the future. Although contentious and highly visible displays of activism often dominate campus conversation,

many forms of student engagement may not be as widely seen. This past April, students marched across campus as part of the nationwide “Take Back the Night” rally in a protest against sexual assault. These rallies have occurred at Dartmouth since 1991. While some students combat sexual assault and spread awareness through marches, others collaborate with organizations such as the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault, which drives initiatives to address sexual assault and holds symposiums on the issue. This past year, Esteban Castano ’14 and Gillian O’Connell ’15 helped launch Improve Dartmouth, an online forum in which Dartmouth

students can propose, vote on and discuss ideas that could benefit campus. Student moderators and administrators advocate for promising suggestions. Some recently completed suggestions include modifying the College’s dining plans, as well as simpler ideas like adding a new printer location and introducing reusable silverware. One of the Improve Dartmouth’s campaigns contributed to the College’s decision to establish a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault. “I think the organizations like the Inter-Community Council, Student Assembly and Improve Dartmouth are very accessible, but the more SEE STUDENT ACTIVISM PAGE 31

The Dartmouth Staff

Congratulations! After four years of hard work, you’ve been accepted to Dartmouth and decided to matriculate. Now that you’ve gotten the big decision out of the way — where you’ll spend your undergraduate years — you’ll find that you’re still faced with a host of smaller options on daily basis. What color sheets to buy? Pens or pencils? FoCo or Collis? And of course, you’ll be faced with one of the biggest questions of all: where exactly on campus will you live for your first year in Hanover? Here at The Dartmouth, we don’t have all the answers. We don’t know how you filled out your firstyear housing survey, how many roommates you want or what time you like to wake up in the morning. But we have assembled a crack team of reporters, students who have taken statistics classes and college trivia experts to break down each of the five first-year clusters — The Choates, East Wheelock, McLaughlin, Russell Sage and The River — as well as provide information on Dartmouth’s newest housing option, living-learning communities. Coming to college can seem like a frightening and mysterious step, so here’s to hoping that this guide can help make the transition a little less scary. The Choates Located behind Webster Ave. and a skip and a jump from affinity housing options including Cutter-Shabazz and the Sustainable Living Center, the Choates are home to sand volleyball courts,

glass walkways and approximately 300 undergraduate students. Host to a number of summer camps and programs — includin g Sum m er Enrichm ent at Dartmouth and the Dartmouth Debate Institute — the Choates may already be familiar to some members of the Class of 2018. Year constructed: 1956-58. Buildings in cluster: Bissell, Brown, Cohen and Little. Room types: One room singles and doubles, arranged in eightstudent suites. Distance from: Baker-Berry Library (0.2 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.4 miles), Alumni Gym (0.6 miles). Students say: “One of the cool things about the Choates is that there are a lot of singles. I had my own room, and most other people on my floor had their own rooms, so we were all willing to hang out because we didn’t have roommates.” Kayla Wade ’16, Little 3 “Living in the Choates was probably my best residential experience ... A lot of my best friends I made by walking through Bisco or Brittle [common rooms] and having random conversations.” Kevin Guh ’16, Cohen 1

East Wheelock Located across from Alumni Gym and within sight of the Bema, East Wheelock is known for its focus on community, its faculty-in-residence program and its late-night snack bar, which keeps residents well-stocked with candy, sugary drinks and all manner of dorm-room essentials. While “East Wheezy” is tra-

ditionally associated with the academic intensity of its residents, it is also often home to studentathletes seeking a shorter walk to the gym in the winter months and older residents who choose the dorm for its spacious suites and programming. Brace Commons, an open social space, hosts events throughout the year, and McCulloch International Residence, affinity housing program students arriving on-campus from outside the U.S., are also located in the cluster. Across its buildings, East Wheelock houses approximately 340

students from all class years. Year constructed: Andres, Morton and Zimmerman (198587), McCulloch (1999-2000), Ledyard Apartments (1921). Buildings in cluster: Andres, McCulloch, Morton, Zimmerman and the Ledyard Apartments. Room types: Singles, one and two room doubles, two to four person suites, upper-class apartments. Distance from: Baker-Berry Library (0.5 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.4 miles), Alumni Gym (less than 0.1 miles). Students say: “[East Wheelock] is full of generally motivated and kind people, not necessarily the most ‘ragey.’ Be very purposeful in reaching out to each other, because it might seem a little hard, but it will really pay off.” Xanthe Kraft ’16, Andres 3 “I lived in East Wheelock for two years, and I think the thing I liked the most about it is that there were always people around. I really liked my [freshman year] room because it was a suite, which is really hard for a freshman to get ... Participate in the events that are held in East Wheelock, because they are really cool. You live there, so take advantage of that.” Song Heui Cho ’16, Andres 3 Russell Sage Located on Tuck Drive just by Silsby Hall, home of some social science departments, the Russell Sage cluster boasts residential social spaces including the Cellar and the Hyphen, both recently renovated to better meet the needs of first-year students. This year,

first-year students will live in the cluster’s Butterfield Hall, which has recently hosted transfer and exchange students, because of the Class of 2018’s large size. Butterfield and Russel Sage house approximately 177 students. Year constructed: Russell Sage Hall (1923), Butterfield Hall (1940). Buildings in cluster: Russell Sage and Butterfield. Room types: Singles, tworoom doubles and two-room triples. Distance from: Baker-Berry Library (0.1 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.2 miles), Alumni Gym (0.4 miles). Students say: “Living in Butterfield was super nice. It’s very well-situated. Be sure to interact with people on the floor — not a lot of people who live there talk to each other. Take advantage of meeting all the people who live there.” Kwaishon Bell ’16, Butterfield 1 “[Russell Sage] was the best dorm in the best location. It’s close to the library, close to food and close to fraternity row.” Ben Wood ’16, Russell Sage 4 Fahey-McLane While technically a part of the Russell Sage cluster, the modern Fahey-McLane Hall is distinct in both architectural design and inclusion of upperclassmen suites on many floors. Home to around 205 students, Fahey and McLane are connected by a set of open SEE HOUSING PAGE 20

Protests, turnover lead New policies lead to class bonding to policy discussions FROM FRESHMAN BAN PAGE 6

positions in the College’s administration have undergone personnel changes, including College provost, executive vice president and chief financial officer and Dean of the College. In May 2014, Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson announced that she would depart the College to become vice president for student affairs and dean of students at Scripps College, and Inge-Lise Ameer assumed the role of interim Dean in August. Previously, the College also hired Richard Mills to serve as the CFO and executive vice president and Carolyn Dever as provost. Student life changes At the start of the school year, the Greek Leadership Council prohibited first-year students from entering the premises of fraternities and sororities for the first six weeks of fall term, to lower high -risk drinking and sexual assault among freshmen. While the policy was rarely violated outright, its impact on highrisk drinking and other behaviors remains uncertain. The policy will continue this year. The College’s residential system is transforming into a “neighborhood” model. The office of residential life expanded the scope of themed living learning communities and, for the first time, opened up these community-based living spaces to incoming freshmen. The College is also building the Triangle House, an affinity house for LGBTQ students and allies. Student activism A group of students released an eight-page document in February, “The Plan for Dartmouth’s Freedom Budget.” The proposal outlined more than 70 specific

ideas to improve campus life and “eradicate systems of oppression” on campus, including sexism, classism, racism and ableism. The document’s authors also demanded a public response to the “Freedom Budget” from College administrators by March 24. Although Hanlon and Interim Provost Martin Wybourne released a statement in response to the document on March 6, the proposal’s authors criticized the response for not addressing each demand pointby-point. On April 1, about 35 students entered Hanlon’s office during his open office hours, demanding a point-by-point response to the document. About a dozen students engaged in a two-day sit-in of Hanlon’s personal office. A series of six meetings between members of the “Freedom Budget” collective and certain College administrators took place in April and May on topics including faculty recruitment, support for undocumented students and undergraduate curricula. These meetings were a stipulation of the students’ departure from the office.

Being at college feels very different from home life, he said, but staying relaxed and realizing there are plenty of other people around you undergoing the same situation helps ease the transition.

Hanlon responds In a spring summit to discuss harmful behavior, including highrisk drinking and sexual violence, Hanlon condemned racism, sexism, sexual assault and hazing at Dartmouth. He also announced the creation of a steering committee of administrators, professors, students and alumni to address issues of sexual assault and unhealthy behaviors. While gathering input from students and the larger community, the committee began to meet in the summer and will deliver a report to Hanlon in six months.

common rooms on each floor, allowing the two dorms to serve for most intents and purposes as a single building. Like Russell Sage, Fahey-McLane is prized for its close location to Silsby, the Rockefeller Center and Baker-Berry Library. Year constructed: 2002. Room types: Singles, tworoom doubles and triples, upperclassmen suites. Distance from: Baker-Berry Library (0.2 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.2 miles), Alumni Gym (0.5 miles). Students say: “I think I had the best room on campus. The physical plant is great — it’s clean, big enough. You could have a TV and a couch and feel very comfortable. I think I had pretty much the dream scenario.� Jackson Dean ’16, Fahey 2 “I loved it. It was a great location — close to everything I wanted to be close to.� Jack Hatheway ’17, McLane 1 McLaughlin Tucked between the computer science department’s home in Sudikoff Hall, the Moore Psychology Building and the Class of 1978 Life

Sciences Center, the McLaughlin cluster is home to roughly 340 students from a range of class years. The cluster includes Occom Commons, one of the largest residential social spaces on campus, as well as close proximity to the College’s 18-hole golf course and Occom Pond, the site of Dartmouth’s infamous Winter Carnival “Polar Bear Plunge.� Arranged around a central walkway and courtyard, the hotelesque cluster is named to honor former College President David McLaughlin ’54 Tu’55. Year constructed: 2004. Buildings in cluster: Berry, Bildner, Byrne II, Goldstein, Rauner and Thomas. Room types: Singles, tworoom doubles and upperclassmen suites. Distance from: Baker-Berry Library (0.2 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.5 miles), Alumni Gym (0.5 miles). Students say: “The rooms are ridiculously nice. What I really liked, especially being a UGA, is that people really seemed to acknowledge it was a nice place to live and respected that.� Caroline Allan ’16, Under-

graduate Advisor 2013, Berry 2 “I liked that it was really new. A lot of my friends lived in older dorms, where the rooms were old and sad looking. [But] I didn’t like how far it was from food. You have to plan ahead for meals for the next morning. You can’t just wake up at 8:30 and be like ‘I want FoCo’ if you have a 9L.� Rachel Porth ’16, Thomas 3

The River Located behind the Thayer School of Engineering, the River compensates for its comparative distance from many campus amenities with spacious rooms and a rich sense of community. Home to both first-year residents who live in French Hall and Judge Hall, and upperclassmen who take advantage of the kitchens and common rooms offered in Maxwell and Channing Cox’s four-person apartments, the cluster houses the Dartmouth Outing Club’s climbing gym, the Max Kade German center and apartments reserved for student members of Hillel and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Each year, the cluster is home to approximately 320 students. Year constructed: French and Judge (1960), Channing Cox and

Maxwell (1982). Buildings in cluster: French, Judge, Channing Cox, Maxwell. Room types: Singles, tworoom doubles, three-room doubles and upperclassmen apartments. Distance From: Baker-Berry (0.3 miles), Class of 1953 Commons (0.3 miles), Alumni Gym (0.6 miles). Students say: “A lot of my very good friends to this day are people I met in the River. We bonded a lot. There were no one-room doubles, so that helped simplify some of the roommate interactions quite a bit.� Anne Reed-Weston ’16, French 4 “I found some of my best friends in the River — the entire dorm was really close. You could tell it was on the older side, but what was nice about it was that you either had a single or a two or three room double, so you had the experience of having a roommate while having your own space.� Emily Tregidgo ’16, French 2 Living-Learning Communities New this fall, incoming firstyear students can live in one of five living-learning communities

— residential floors and buildings intended to more deeply integrate student learning into dorm life. Under this new program, members of the Class of 2018 can live in the Global Village, which will encourage students to engage with global topics, Triangle House, which will provide students with an enhanced intellectual environment to consider issues pertaining to the LGBTQ experience, the Gender Neutral Program Floor, which will help students study and explore gender identity, East Wheelock and the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network-in-Residence, which will help connect students to resources available for entrepreneurs at the College and across the Upper Valley. Residents will spend at least two quarters — the fall and winter — living in the selected programs. Year established: 2014. Location of living -learning communities: East Wheelock; Byrne II, Goldstein and Thomas (Global Village); 4 North Park Street (Triangle House); McLane Hall (Gender Neutral Program Floor); New Hampshire Hall (Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network-in-Residence).

Hello ’18s! Welcome to Dartmouth. I reUMUJMZ _MTT _PMV 1 ÅZ[\ NW]VL W]\ 1 PIL JMMV accepted to the Dartmouth and the feeling of happiness and relief that accompanied it. You had to work hard to get where you are now. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished. I also remember having no idea what I was getting myself into.

Seeing as we all come from diverse backgrounds, I am sure that most of you are looking at your welcome materials and trying to learn as much as you can before the crazy sprint that is each term at Dartmouth starts in the fall. Here’s a little advice that you _QTT PWXMN]TTa ÅVL ][MN]T NWZ \PM ÅZ[\ JQO [\MX on your own. First, let’s get some practical things out of the way. Don’t bring a printer. Yes, Green Print sucks sometimes, but professors will understand that. You have scant room and after freshman year, you will be moving almost every term. Save yourself the headache and leave the printer at home. Next, do bring an iron. I’ve rarely used mine, but I’ve been glad to have one when needed. Most students don’t dress up often, but when you do, you want be sure to look fresh. Finally, as far as practical advice, go to the sustainability sale. I wasted money on a brand new mini-fridge when the ones at the sale do the trick for last money. Also, you can usually get a decent bike if you get there early. Then you’ll feel less ripped off when it is inevitably stolen during your winter term. Oh, it’s gonna happen. Now for a little more serious advice. First, you have an amazing opportunity to effect real change on campus. At the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge as a trip leader, I heard this advice from an engineering professor and Dartmouth alumnus, and he was right. It’s not easy, but you have four years at the College to do it. Once you’re out of Hanover, Dartmouth won’t be a part of your everyday life. Your so-called “Dartmouth

experience” is largely on yourself. Which brings me to another point. Don’t be overly concerned about having some quintessential Dartmouth experience: you might hate freshman trips, you might not make the best friends ever in your group or you might not KTQKS _Q\P aW]Z NZM[PUIV ÆWWZ 1 M^MV PIL I friend who hated sophomore summer (I did too).

Your college experience is your own to determine. I had a very close freshUIV ÆWWZ IVL WVM WN W]Z NZQMVL[ [\QTT KPW[M \W transfer to another college. He’s happier where he is now, and though I miss him, I’m glad he found the place where he feels he belongs. So while some of you won’t make it to graduation, make the most of your time here and help us out by making Dartmouth a better place. I hope you all have the best four years here possible. I’ve been blessed to have wonderful three years and am hoping to have the best year thus far when we meet in the fall. When my friend and trip leader graduated, he wrote an article where he said that college wasn’t the best four years of his life. But looking back, he felt that was okay. His four years were formative, and that’s what was most important to him. If these four years help make you a better person, I think that’s best outcome of all. See you soon.

I spent part of Orientation poring over the timetable of class meetings and covering my computer screen with tabs from the Course Picker website to ensure I was making the right class choices.

I had more than enough free time to read it, and if I had thought about the options I would have in the fall in advance, perhaps I wouldn’t have had to scramble to ÅO]ZM W]\ Ua KW]Z[M TWIL When picking classes, it’s important to remember what made you excited in high school. Instead of considering what I was curious about — or even what subjects I excelled at — I prematurely declared that I had to be a government major. I had also decided that this precluded me from being a math or science person, so I was going to take a “layup” technology course as a way to tiptoe around those pesky graduation requirements. Of course, I thought I was being quite clever. But in the process, I lost sight of the fact that I had enjoyed math in high school and that I had always wanted to try out a computer science class. Coming into college, you should not limit yourself to some preconceived set of strengths and weaknesses. Your potential major does not need to have such a strong QVÆ]MVKM WV aW]Z KW]Z[M [MTMK\QWV M[XMKQITTa in freshman fall.

Instead of learning from my initial mistakes, I was stubborn. Not only did I continue to think I should major in government, but I also added in economics to the mix. I became Å`I\ML WV JITIVKQVO W]\ PIZLMZ KTI[[M[ _Q\P easier ones. Such a calculated approach to freshman year is a recipe for disaster. In the back of my mind, I really knew I wanted to do something other than government and economics, and I ignored that. It took me far too long to realize that I was not going to receive a prize for being a martyr in my major choice. It is hardly noble to major in a department because of its supposed prestige if your interests actually lie somewhere else. 1N aW]¼ZM QV KTI[[M[ aW] LWV¼\ ÅVL MVOIOQVO think twice before committing yourself to the idea of majoring in that department.

If it isn’t what you had expected, then you don’t have to major in it. If you’re looking for the “right way” to do academics at Dartmouth, you’re always going to come up short. While I now recognize that I should have made different choices in freshman year, I see no point in obsessing over what might have been. I doubt that many Dartmouth students have chartered the perfect academic path since day one. As long as you’ve thought about what it is you want to learn in college and you keep an open mind, then you’re on the right track. Dartmouth offers a world-class education, but ultimately it’s up to each of us to decide whether we fully take advantage of that.

During her freshman winter, King Fredel co-directed and performed in the student-run production “Voices” as part of V-February, which was sponsored in part by the CGSE. The show focuses on the different experiences of Dartmouth women. “Voices,” which touched on topics including fraternity culture, sexual assault and body image, was performed to an audience of more than 600 people in Spaulding Auditorium. The show seemed to expose people to ideas of inequality they had never before considered, King Fredel said, adding that she received numerous questions about feminism and intersectionality in the weeks following the show.

you create,” he said. “A lot of the groups, organizations and services on campus were a result of student demand themselves.” Although the aforementioned examples of activism are all important in their own ways, they only capture a slice of a constantly evolving campus, where visible change each year. “I am sure that if a member of the Class of 2018 wants to make a difference, there is a way for them to do so,” Manning said.

Women’s and gender studies proNM[[WZ /QI^IVVI 5]VINW _PW Ă… Z[\ came to Dartmouth in 1994 as the director for the Center for Women and Gender, now the Center for Gender and Student Engagement, said she had observed waves of active engagement come and go throughout her time at the College. Munafo said she sees Dartmouth students entering the College better prepared to understand how race, class and gender shape learning environments, a development she largely attributed to a shift in national awareness of these issues. “We are, at this moment, at the most engaged and most inclusive level of campus conversation about the issue of sexual assault that we’ve ever seen,â€? Munafo said. “At this moment it has been sustained longer, KI][ML Ja I KWVÆ ]MVKM WN ^IZQW][ forces.â€? Holli Weed ’14, who has been extensively involved in various student groups dealing with sexual assault, [IQL \PI\ KWUXIZML \W PMZ Ă… Z[\ \_W years, the tenor of the issue has become much more proactive. š<PQ[ aMIZ Q[ ZMITTa \PM Ă… Z[\ aMIZ when I’ve heard people asking about rape culture, what is it, why are we talking about it, how does it manifest at Dartmouth?â€? she said. Still, some have argued that campus discussion remains imperfect. In an email, former history professor Russell Rickford wrote that he found the extent to which discussions of social issues currently revolve around sexual assault appropriate. But Rickford also noted that sexual assault is inextricable from other questions of social relations and power on campus, including race, class, gender and sexuality. “The volume of the conversation about rape and sexual assault has risen, but self-deception, false consciousness and local structures of power preclude more effective approaches,â€? Rickford wrote. “We seem unable or unwilling to transcend the dominant discourse of ‘a few bad apples’ and ‘we are better than this.’ These false narratives obscure the reality of our rape culture, and smother the self-critique and selftransformation that are desperately needed.â€? 2QTTQIV 5IaMZ Âź _PW QLMV\QĂ… ML herself as a sexual assault survivor, said she has qualms with the current discussion of sexual assault on campus. Although other issues such as racism, homophobia and classism also relate to sexual assault, campus

discussion seems to be one-dimensional rather than intersectional, Mayer said. Much discussion stems from the question of whether current initiatives and committees address the symptoms, rather than the causes, of sexual assault, she said. Theater professor Peter Hackett Âź [IQL \PI\ \PW]OP PM Ă… VL[ \PM current environment more open to discussion, he still feels troubled by the pushback at those who speak about the issue. He said there was a tendency for people to equate his criticisms of the College with a lack of loyalty, when his calls for reform really stem from a deep love for the College and its students. Weed said she has been threatened and targeted for being vocal. “My efforts to promote student accountability and to reign in behaviors that I perceive as inherently harmful to community have not always been well-received,â€? she said. “I have received death threats on Bored at Baker quite a few times. I’ve had people threaten to rape me. I have been called in the middle of the night. I’ve struggled with hostile behavior from certain student organizations on campus. There was an extended period of time where I could not walk to class by myself because it wasn’t a safe option.â€? Weed said she had heard other activists say that they have also experienced harassment. Students, alumni and faculty expressed mixed sentiments on whether administrative responses are enough to tackle and eliminate sexual assault. When asked if she thought that this period is a departure from previous administrative responses, Dartmouth Change co-founder Susy Struble ’93 said she remained skeptical. “I don’t know if we’re at the tipping point,â€? she said. “What’s different this time? I wish I could feel more positive.â€? Hackett said he thought that the College’s branding itself as a leader in sexual assault prevention was misleading and discouraged survivors from coming forward. :MÆ MK\QVO WV PMZ M`XMZQMVKM[ I\ the College, Weed said that she feels heartened to see student perspectives on sexual violence evolve over such a short time. By prioritizing the issue, administrators had made themselves more available to have people come forward, she said. “Dartmouth needs to prove that it is a leader in sexual violence prevention,â€?

Dear freshman class, The easiest thing to do will be to post our variety of amazing deli sandwiches, salads and entrees. This might whet your appetite but it will not do justice of who we are as a host. I have moved so many times, sometimes across continents. What I cherish during these transitions are memories of those who gave their best to replace fondness of things past with new enriching experiences. Just like the incoming freshman class, we are experiencing a new beginning. We are anxious, nervous, full of anticipation but confident that we will be surrounded with those who care, and never hesitate to give support and warmth. Although our concern of flavor, affordability and freshness are a must, we give much more importance to uplifting your spirit as a means of gratitude for having chosen us as a venue from among the many nice eateries Hanover has to offer. You are coming here with many pleasant memories; our job is to create similarly pleasant ones for your next journey from here. Sincerely,

Hafid Sabky Chef/Manager

We will probably stay the way we are forever because it just works as the Ivy League.” In addition to new NCAA policies, men’s lacrosse, men’s heavyweight crew, softball and women’s crew will see new head coaches.

Lacrosse goalie Blair Friedensohn ’16 said that starting with a new coaching staff will particularly help incoming freshman as they will be on the same level as upperclassmen in learning new tactical systems and building relationships with their coach.

The Big Green brought crowds and cheers over 2013-14 B y GAYNE KALUSTIAN The Dartmouth Staff

Last year provided countless highlights for the Big Green. Dartmouth was also lucky enough to play host to many of these memorable moments in front of a rowdy home crowd. This spring, we started a new

tradition, The D Sports Awards. 7]Z NW]Z\P IVL ÅVIT MLQ\QWV WN \PM awards, originally published May 28, is below — readers recognized the football game against Princeton University as their favorite 2013-14 Big Green moment. Read about the top moments here.

Women’s Basketball vs. Penn In front of one of Leede Arena’s most energetic crowds all year, Dartmouth took down the University of Pennsylvania for its first season conference win on Feb. 22. The Quakers, who had handed the Big Green a 71-53 loss earlier that season, took the Ivy League title with a 12-2 record. The team came into the game looking for revenge, co-captain Nicola Zimmer ’14 said. Dartmouth, who led the visitors 26-17 at the half, gave some ground to the Quakers as the second half dragged on. The early success gave Dartmouth a competitive edge, Zimmer said. “We were bringing it,” she said. “We all started feeling at that moment that we could do this.” With 47 seconds left, Penn took a 50-49 lead for the first time all game. With 21 ticks remaining,

Zimmer swished a perfect lay up, giving the Big Green a one-point lead. A Penn turnover with five seconds left put Lakin Roland ’16 under the net for one last lay up, cementing the team’s 53-50 win and causing the arena to tremble underneath thunderous applause. Dartmouth, in one night, extinguished Penn’s nine-game winning streak and became only one of two teams to defeat the Quakers in the Ivy League all season.

Baseball vs. Yale With six consecutive Red Rolfe titles, Dartmouth baseball came into the 2014 season with high hopes and even higher expectations. But the team started League play a little slow. Down in the standings 5-9 in League play after dropping a doubleheader to Brown University, Dartmouth’s situation became, in every game, do or die. “We were expecting to go out there and win three out of four and we didn’t,” infielder Nick Lombardi ’15 said. “To come back like we did was crazy.” With no room for error, the Big Green finished with a perfect 6-0 division record, setting up a onegame playoff in Hanover against Yale University. The first few innings were tough, as the Bulldogs built a two-run lead after the second, and Beau Sulser ’16 went down on the mound. But out of thin air, the Dartmouth lineup caught fire in the third, tallying seven runs on its way to an 11-4 victory, securing a spot the Ivy Championship Series and the seventh consecutive Red Rolfe title. The win kept alive the longest division winning streak since the League split in 1993.

Track and Field Indoor Heps

For the first time in four years, Dartmouth hosted the Indoor Heptagonal Championships in March. The women’s track and field team posted a second-place finish, its best since 1996, while the men finished sixth. “That was really special just

to have the energy of the entire Dartmouth community in support of us,” distance runner Abbey D’Agostino ’14 said. A packed Leverone Field House roared throughout the two-day event as the Big Green women improved from last year’s fifth place finish, led by national star D’Agostino. In her final home meet, the senior brought her total of Ivy League titles to 12 with wins in the 5,000-meter race, mile and 4x800-meter relay with Meggie Donovan ’15, Liz Markowitz ’16 and Megan Krumpoch ’14. Janae Dunchack ’14 also made history, winning her fourth indoor pentathlon title. Dana Giordano ’16 won the 3,000-meter race, and Jennifer Meech ’16 won the 200-meter. On the men’s side, Steven Mangan ’14 set a new meet record with a time of 4:01.69 in the mile, and the men’s distance medley relay took home the title by just over a second.

^ŽŌďĂůů ǀƐ͘ zĂůĞ After splitting the first two games of the Ivy League Championship Series against the University of Pennsylvania, the Big Green found itself on the wrong side of a 3-0 slant going into the fifth inning of the deciding matchup. The Big Green entered the bottom of the fifth in need of a jump. Second baseman Kara Curosh ’14 crushed a two-run homer to put Dartmouth on the board. The home run motivated the team, pitcher Kristen Rumley ’15 said. “At that point, we were thinking, ‘Okay, we’ve got this. We can really come back from this.’” In the next inning with two runners on, Rumley doubled into left-center, giving Dartmouth its first lead of the game. The hit started a five-run onslaught punctuated by a run scored on a wild pitch and two more runs brought in by Katie McEachern ’16 to reach the final score of 7-3. Rumley sent the visitors down in order in the seventh, ending on a grounder back to the circle, the ninth Quaker batter out in a row. With the late-game victory over Penn, the team claimed its first-ever Ivy title and the right to compete in the NCAA tournament.

Last year at the College, students saw original Picasso paintings, watched nationally acclaimed dance groups perform and explored new public art displays around campus.

In February, the theater department put on a production of the Tony Awardwinning musical “Spring Awakening.” Members of the production held discussions with local high school students on topics including the technical elements of the show as well as sexuality and sexual assault, two themes addressed in the production. Students produced “The Vagina Monologues” alongside an original production called “Voices.” Students wrote the second production after some said they felt that “The Vagina Monologues” represented too narrow WN IV M`XMZQMVKM 8IZ\ WN \PM XZWÅ\[ from “The Vagina Monologues” was donated to WISE, a center for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. The Hood The Hood Museum of Art showed an exhibition “Picasso: The Vollard Exhibit” which displayed 100 Pablo Picasso sketches, commissioned by Ambroise Vollard, a French art dealer. As part of the display, the Hood borrowed pieces by Goya and Rembrandt from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. At the same time, the Hood held “Cubism and Its Legacy” which also centered around Picasso’s work. The Cubism exhibit included paintings by artists Mark Rothko and Marcel Duchamp. The Hood’s “Between Tradition and Modernity: The Art of Fan Tchunpi” showed pieces by Tchunpi, considered one of China’s most famous modern artists. The Hood showcased works by more than 80 artists who had been in the College’s artist-in-residence program. Artists who have participated in the program include Robert Rauschenberg and José Clemente Orozco, the creator of the Orozco murals in Baker-Berry Library. The exhibition ran between January and June. In June, the College announced that an anonymous donor put $10 million toward creating a learning center at the Hood. The donation will also help expand the museum, tripling the number of rooms available to students and displaying more of its collection.
