On the night of September 30th, Hill House reminded campus why it holds an infamous reputation among the student body. A series of repeated fire alarms—some of which turned out to be false—ruined everyone’s chance at a good night’s sleep. Now that they have caught up on their beauty rest, however, students are ready to give their thoughts on their home’s unreliable emergency system. 

In the bowels of the campus operations office, past the iconic purple door and up two flights of creaky stairs, sits the office of Maureen ‘Mo’ Gallagher, a space packed to the brim with reusable bags, papers, notes, and spreadsheets of all means and uses. Everyone on campus knows her name; for all Sarah Lawrence College (SLC) students, her name pops up in email after email, a kind of disembodied voice that answers all kinds of campus operations questions. On campus, she slips by the student body easily, often in a baseball hat and a taupe bomber jacket; she sees all. She sits on the board of directors as the sustainability chair, oversees all campus clean-up teams, is the head of campus operations, and she does it all efficiently and bluntly, looking earnestly over her large wire-rimmed glasses.  

In a recent election,  Sarah Lawrence College (SLC) first-years elected Annabelle Fernandez ‘30 as the Class of 2030 President. According to the SLC Student Senate bylaws, the role of the Freshman class president is to “Act as the liaison between their class and the Senate.” Among other things, their responsibilities include serving as a voting member on both the Student Activities Subcommittee and the Students for Scholarship Fund Committee (SSSF), holding 3 events a year and organizing Town Hall Meetings to address student concerns.

If you’re looking for a new sport to watch that’s different from what Campbell Sports Center usually has to offer, then you’re in luck. The 2026-2027 Equestrian season has begun.

The Captain wore jeans, a bright red lip, and pointed-toe high heels to the 2026 Sarah Lawrence Cheer Squad tryouts. Everyone else wore sneakers. “I feel like I have a lot of power,” Marissa Smith ‘27 whispered as she crouched cross-legged on the uncomfortable wooden floor of Wendy’s Studio. In a room full of squeaky sneakers, Smith most definitely had the upper hand. The fierce click-clack of her heels echoed throughout the dance studio as she observed like a hawk over the twenty individuals going out for the cheer team. Only sixteen will end up on the court this Fall under Smith’s judgment.

Many have seen or heard about the recent Sydney Sweeney advertisement for the online sports betting company Novig, which features Sweeney naked – covered only by sports equipment – repeating the phrase “just sports.” MSN News states that the advertisement has received massive backlash, which the news outlet purports may have been intentional, stating, “some see this as a deliberate campaign of controversy generation by the company itself.” Whatever the advertisement’s intended purpose, it has clearly generated buzz for the company – MSN identifies that “Novig has climbed to number 11 on the App Store sports app rankings from the #50 spot back in August.”

It’s no secret that I’m fascinated by the mechanisms of nostalgia and the concept of musical legacy. So when American rock band The Academy Is… (TAI) announced “Almost There,” their fourth studio album—a follow-up eighteen years removed from 2008’s “Fast Times at Barrington High,” I knew I wanted to cover it.
