Loyal friend and family member to many in his community at home and at Dartmouth, Kyle Janeczek, a second-year student at the Geisel School of Medicine, made an impact on everyone who came in contact with him. “He made you feel like you were the most important thing in the world,” said Geisel roommate and friend Brent Bates Med’20. Janeczek, 25, passed away on Oct. 17, in his home in Norwich. The Vermont Medical Examiner’s Office has conducted an autopsy but has not released a cause of death. He was born June 30, 1993 in

Passaic, New Jersey, and grew up in Wall Township, a small beach town nearby. Janeczek was proud of his roots, and remained close with his family and three siblings. He worked as a lifeguard at Bay Head Improvement Association in high school and during the summer in college. In his hometown, Janeczek was what his sister Kyra Janeczek called “a local celebrity.” He attended Wall High School, where he played on both the basketball and football teams. Academically, Janeczek was an honors student and president of the math club. He also won SEE OBITUARY PAGE 5

As Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) took selfies and recorded videos with students and community members following a Get Out the Vote rally on Sunday night with Rep. Annie McLane Ku s t e r ( D - N H ) , a young girl approached Booker and told him that he “should run for president.” In response, Booker told her, “If I run, I want you on my team.” Booker is considered by m a n y t o b e a leading contender

for the Democratic Party’s nomination in the 2020 presidential elections. On Sunday, Booker also stopped at the University of New Hampshire and headlined a fundraiser in Durham before finishing his day at Dartmouth in his first visit to New Hampshire, which hosts the first primary in the country. When Kuster i n t ro d u c e d B o o k e r in front of a packed audience of over 200 people in Filene Auditorium, she jokingly referred to him as the next Democratic

presidential nominee. During the event’s question and answer period, Booker refused t o s ay wh e t h e r h e planned to run for president in 2020 after a student asked him what that year meant to him, instead replying that “life is about purpose, not position.” Booker added that he had three primary purposes in life: fighting growing levels of economic inequality, combating criminal a n d e nv i ro n m e n t a l injustice, and restoring civility to the nation’s SEE BOOKER PAGE 2

“SpeakOut” to provide oral history of queer community B y EMILY SUN The Dartmouth

T he Rauner Special Collections Library has partnered with the Dartmouth LGBTQIA+ Alum Association (DGALA) to launch SpeakOut, an oral history project in which faculty, alumni and students

are interviewed regarding their experiences with the LGBTQIA+ community on campus. The interviews, conducted by a team of approximately 10 students, feature Dartmouth graduates ranging from the 1950s and 1960s to the most recent classes. The first set of SpeakOut

interviews are set to be released to the public in January 2019 as a part of the College’s 250th anniversary c e l e b r at i o n , a n d m o re will follow, according to Birch. There are around 20 interviews in the Rauner archives waiting to be released at this point, though Birch hopes to add more.

“The goal of SpeakOut is to document the history of Dartmouth’s LGBTQIA+ community, and we want that history to be as multiperspective as we can get,” said Caitlin Birch, digital collections and oral history archivist at Rauner. Birch noted that there is a lack of documentation that

represents the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals in Dartmouth archives to date. She said that SpeakOut is “definitely looking to address some of those gaps in the archives.” “Beyond just providing documentation for the SEE SPEAKOUT PAGE 3
