Barely a week after moving into college, Skylar Miklus ’22 realized they could vote the day of the New Hampshire primary elections. Although Miklus was already registered in Massachusetts, all they needed in order to register at the polls was their social security number, a photo ID and an email from Dartmouth’s office of residential life. However, same-day registration, which allowed Miklus to vote, is at risk. Although few details of its future implementation have been released, the passage of House Bill 1264 may only allow people to vote in New Hampshire elections if they have a New Hampshire driver’s license. Students make up a heavy portion of same-day registrations, according to Elaine Hawthorne, a supervisor of the checklist in Hanover who helps administer the election. This year, 140 people registered on-site, a large increase compared to 18 and 34 people who registered on-site, respectively, in the past two primary elections.

On Sept. 1, Anne Hudak began her new role as assistant dean for undergraduate veterans. Hudak assumes the newly-created position following her five years of experience as an assistant dean of the Dartmouth undergraduate student body. Prior to being an assistant dean, Hudak served as an academic resource for student athletes at Dartmouth. T h e n e w ro l e w i l l entail supporting the 36 undergraduate veterans at

Dartmouth in their academic and extracurricular pursuits as well as partnering with the admissions office to recruit prospective veteran students, Hudak said. She added that she hopestoconnectundergraduate veterans with unique postservice opportunities available to them and help them with issues that other undergraduate students may not face. “As veterans, many of these students have other opportunities off campus that it’s helpful for an undergraduate dean to be aware of,” Hudak said. “Many of them are slightly older [than other

students] and may have families or be living off campus.” Hudak said that she believes it is important for someone in Dartmouth’s administrative staff to be familiar with veterans’ unique situations and connect veteran students with resources they need, such as housing or childcare. Zachary Jaynes ’21, an underg raduate veteran, said that the creation of the position was a positive step for the veteran community at Dartmouth. “We do have a lot of unique problems that Dartmouth SEE VETERANS PAGE 3
