NEWS | Beginning with the class of 2024, the Political Science major requirements are being changed. The most notable changes are the combination of the old two tracks, Political Science and Political Science/International Relations, into one “Political Science & International Relations” Major.

The old major, requiring only 66 credits, now requires 75, including an additional mandatory three-credit methods course and an extra six-credit elective.

VIEWPOINT | As some of you may or may not know, Ca

VIEWPOINT | As some of you may or may not know, Carls Talk Back originally began as a silent protest at the convocation speech of Arno Michaelis — a former white supremacist — in February of 2018. Later, it evolved into an all-encompassing movement that advocated for and presented several demands that aimed to “transform Carleton College into a place that is accommodating to all students who attend, regardless of identity or need.”

Of course, the approval of the Community Plan for Inclusion, Diversity & Equity — otherwise referred to as the IDE plan — has been largely touted by the administration as the one-and-done solution to achieve such goals. In reality, many students — especially those whom the plan was meant to serve — have found both the process of its creation and the ultimate result to be insufficient, problematic and concerning. With the support of its original founders, a coalition of students, many of whom are leaders of cultural and advocacy groups that define this campus, has chosen to officially reestablish Carls Talk Back as a response to these shortcomings.

FEATURES AND ARTS | To observers of Carleton’s history, it’s a time-honored tradition. To anyone who happened to be in the Cave on April 29 for semifinals or May 7 for finals, it was, as Cave managers described it in a mass email,“a sonic battle for the ages.” To the competitors, it was the chance to be one of two student bands headlining another campus tradition: spring concert.

While seven bands entered the Cave with instruments in hand, only two emerged victorious. Heading up Sproncert this year will be Paranoid Fiction and Beans of Production, and Features & Arts Editor Sophie Perfetto ’24 interviewed them both. Read on for their responses.

VIEWPOINT | Simply walking around campus, I was able to find 175 security cameras scattered across every corner of Carleton, making sure that you are on camera all hours of the day. Simply walk into Sayles, and the sheer quantity of security cameras immediately in view makes it apparent that the Carleton administration does not trust you. Whether you are picking out a book in the bookstore, getting a workout in at the Rec Center or walking to class in the basement of Laird, you are just another suspicious figure in the security record.

NEWS | With the May 1 deadline coming and going, a new class of students commit to making Carleton their home for the next four years. After National College Decision Day, Admissions reports the lowest acceptance rate for any class in the history of the college at 16.5%. Also a historical record is the number of applications the college received, with 8,583 total between early and regular decision. Out of these applicants, 546 of the accepted students chose Carleton.

MEET THE EDS | News editor Zak Sather.

Hometown: Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Major: History
How he got here: I wrote an article or two, and then I was the Sports editor, a position which no longer exists. I became News editor a while ago—that’s where I’ve stayed. This is my home. Not going anywhere else.
Favorite article he’s written: It was one from a while ago about the yellow sweatshirts the female athletes wear and the history of them. We had this lesbian couple—the athletic director and someone else—and those two basically started women’s sports at Carleton from scratch. They also started the yellow sweatshirts to show they were proud to be women’s athletes at Carleton. Their names are all over campus.
Best part of the role: Definitely the meetings. It’s really fun to just talk about what’s going on around campus, and I really like the people.
Which major newspaper represents you best: The AP. It’s my favorite. I literally read nothing but the AP—I think it’s the best journalism out there. I try to write like the AP, and that’s why my writing is boring. But informative.

MEET THE EDS | News editor Anoushka Mallik ‘25.

Hometown: Brookline, Massachusetts
Major: Undecided
How she got here: I wrote for my high school newspaper, the Sagamore (shoutout!), and I really enjoyed working at the paper there. Coming to the Carletonian, I loved writing here, and I really love the community and all the people who work here. I decided I wanted to keep working here and have a bit more control and try new things.
Favorite article she’s written: I have two that I really enjoyed. One was an article on the IDE (Inclusion, DIversity, and Equity) plan that the school recently passed. The other one was on the dining hall wage raises—it was cool to hear a lot of diffferent perspectives on why people wanted raises and how the administration responded top that.
Best part of the role: I think the best part is just coming together and putting the newspaper together. On Thursdays, we spend the whole day making page layouts and copyediting. We also have weekly pitch meetings and an editors’ meeting. All those times where we come together are my favorite.
Which major newspaper represents you best: I think NPR, because they have quirky podcasts but also really interesting news podcasts. And theuy’re sort of all over the place, but, like, in a really cool way.
