Vote yes in the Honor Code Referendum this month
(11/14/24 11:03am)
Last month, the Honor Code Review Committee (HCRC) sent out an email alerting students of proposed changes to the Honor Code. These proposals are the culmination of three semesters of meetings, surveys, and feedback from students, faculty and administrators. Based on the findings of their report from last May, the committee proposed five recommendations to improve the honor code: regularly and publicly affirming the definition and significance of academic integrity; eliminating the moral obligation for students to report their peers’ infractions; clarifying the way in which student violations are adjudicated, especially with regard to faculty involvement; permitting faculty to proctor exams, should they so desire, in compliance with ADA requirements; and clarifying if and when the use of AI violates the honor code.
SPECS Panther Column — Looking at American sexual health disparities through a racial lens
(11/14/24 11:02am)
In 2017, American tennis star Serena Williams experienced life-threatening complications from childbirth. Her cover story profile for Vogue discussed her experience of having to convince medical professionals of the severity of her complications — what she described as undoubtedly a pulmonary embolism — and the delay in proper treatment. Her story sparked public outcry against existing inequalities in the American healthcare system that significantly favor white patients over Black patients. What people found especially shocking was that a person as famous as Serena Williams could also be the victim of racialized medical negligence. It uncovered a disturbing truth: Race intersects with, and can even trump, socioeconomic class as a health determinant.
Let social houses be social
(11/14/24 11:01am)
I joined Omega Alpha — more commonly known as Tav — three years ago. Last year I became the president. I’ve watched as increasing regulation has prevented social houses from creating community spaces and recruiting new members.While a return to the system of fraternities is neither being discussed nor desirable, Middlebury College should allow the social houses to operate more independently and to demand more from their members in order to create spaces that can better build community within the school.
Take a page: Why I journal
(11/14/24 11:00am)
As the days shorten and I start to feel I’m losing myself a little bit, I’ve taken some time to read old entries from the journals I’ve kept since I was 13 years old. I can hardly remember a time when I wasn’t inclined to open a notebook, write the date at the top and describe the happenings of that day and what I thought about them. While my first ever entry was essentially just a list of my middle-school insecurities, the habit stuck and evolved into writing down long-winded stories about my experiences, short anecdotes of notable interactions, interesting things people say to me, reviews of what I have been reading, taped-in receipts and tickets, and introspective reflections.

(11/14/24 1:05pm)
For international students at Middlebury, making sense of the turbulence in today’s world — from ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to the U.S. presidential election — can be particularly challenging in rural Vermont.

20 Years of “From a Basement on the Hill”
(11/14/24 11:04am)
In some ways, it’s hard not to treat “From a Basement on the Hill” as Elliott Smith’s suicide note. When Smith stabbed himself in the heart in his Los Angeles apartment on Oct. 21, 2003, his sixth studio album was largely completed, save some mixing and tracklist decisions. Smith’s death, while absolutely shattering, came with something of a haunting inevitability. Whispered confessions about depression and addiction had long characterized his style, with listeners drawn to a morose beauty woven between the lines. Nonetheless, eyes turned when the LP was released a year after his death, either for answers or consolation.

Reel Critic: “Emilia Pérez”
(11/14/24 11:02am)
What strikes one most upon viewing “Emilia Pérez”, which first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last May, is its resistance to description. The film, starring Karla Sofía Gascón in the titular role as a transgender woman looking to leave her life as a notorious cartel boss, uses conventions from several genres to create a proud mongrel of a film.

(11/14/24 11:03am)
In an unexpected twist in the race for the Vermont State Senate, Republican challenger Steve Heffernan defeated democratic incumbent Christopher Bray for one of Addison County’s two senate seats. Heffernan’s election was part of a larger victory for Republicans in the state legislature, picking up enough seats to effectively end the 20-year democratic supermajority.
