Little love lessons: the freshman fall trap

Mark Fernandez, Columnist September 27, 2024

Carleton is killing its social dance community

Rahim Hamid, Staff Writer September 27, 2024

You cannot register for Social Dance I, Social Dance II, West Coast or Lindy Hop anymore. Staples of Carleton dance and the PE program have been cut, and attempts by the dance community to understand why...

Consent and celebrities: they are not for your pleasure

Maya Mitckess, Staff Writer September 27, 2024

What if time doesn’t have to be scary?

Becky Reinhold, Editor-in-Chief September 27, 2024

Nearly two years ago, I wrote an article about trying to slow down time at Carleton. I had been here for a year, and I was realizing I was almost halfway through college, and it scared me how quickly the...

What does student journalism mean?

Becky Reinhold, Editor-in-Chief May 24, 2024

I wish I remembered why I came back to the Carletonian. I wrote an article my freshman fall about classes starting on Yom Kippur — looking back, it wasn’t a great article, but I cared about the subject....

Kendrick, Drake and where we go from here

Rahim Hamid, Staff Writer May 17, 2024

You may have found the more annoying amongst us on campus obsessively talking about the spat between Kendrick Lamar and Drake over the past week (many of them may have been me). Two extremely large hip-hop...

Let’s not get into specifics

Cecilia Samadani, Features Editor May 17, 2024

My life feels like a balancing act in the worst way possible. Sometimes I feel like a Tumblr meme with the number of identities I carry with me, however true they are. In the style of Audre Lorde: I am...

Beyond Yom HaShoah: We must stand up to antisemitism

Brady Rivkin, Staff Writer May 17, 2024

As Carleton commemorated Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) on May 12, I thought back to last summer, when I was an intern in the education department of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education...

Bax Meyer, Managing Editor May 17, 2024
