The Opera Company of Middlebury (OCM) hired Robin Allen LaPlante as their new Managing Director in August. The organization is taking this change in leadership as an opportunity to reflect on their progress and goals after 20 years of programming and productions in Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater. While Middlebury is rarely the locale that comes to mind when one thinks of the opera — an art form usually associated with bustling cities such as New York and Vienna — OCM has managed to create opportunities for the local community to enjoy and appreciate its value.

In January 2025, after almost 10 years at the college, President Laurie Patton will step down from her post to become President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dean of Language Schools Stephen Snyder will serve as interim president this coming spring, with the Board of Trustees and presidential search committee hoping to have named the 18th president by February 2025. Board of Trustees Chair Ted Truscott has previously shared that the Board is hoping for a president who represents a continuity of President Patton’s tenure rather than a change in policy.

I never expected to end up in the United States. When researching and applying to universities, the U.S. seemed like the last place on my list. However, two and a half years later I find myself here, in America. I moved here thinking I would learn about the U.S. But now I can say with confidence that moving to the U.S. has taught me more about Britain than my life in Britain itself did.

Two weeks before Middlebury College opened its doors for the 2024–25 academic year, students received a lengthy email from lead administrators clarifying their policy on open expression. The message, sent on Aug. 29, began with an acknowledgement of the school’’s interest in its connection to ongoing international affairs, specifically naming the war in Israel and Gaza. Quickly, though, the authors narrowed the focus of the message to concentrate on how students are permitted or not permitted to express their beliefs on campus. While continued dialogue between Middlebury’s administration and student body is critical as we attempt to better understand Middlebury’s role in the global community, the message places undue constraints on student protests, and includes veiled critiques of last year’s demonstrations that call into question the extent to which the school truly seeks to protect students’ right to express their beliefs.

The signature block of lime green and low-resolution Arial font has defined these past few months for many. British artist Charli XCX dominated the charts this summer with the release of her sixth studio album, “BRAT.” Known for her boundary-pushing hyperpop stylings, XCX’s album explores the heavy thumping noises of underground clubs just as much as it does the nuances of vulnerable topics like freedom, grief, jealousy and self-worth.

The newest addition to the “Alien” franchise hit theaters in August and serviced fans with a visually splendid but virtually unoriginal story. The film does, however, step out of its forebears’ shadow in one respect when it transforms the birth horror allegory of its predecessors into… actual birth horror.

Whether or not you support the divestment measures outlined in the Student Government Association (SGA) referendum that was sent out on Monday, we should all be concerned about the process by which the case for this referendum is being carried out. I appreciate that the SGA addressed the concern about anonymity stemming from the collecting of email addresses that was part of the original survey on Google Forms. However, we should all reflect, as a campus, about why some students fear having their names attached to their opinions.

The Middlebury Women’s Track and Field team wrapped up their season recently by triumphing at the NESCAC Championship, their third title in a row. The team had a number of standout performers, but arguably no one left a bigger impression than Audrey MacLean ’27, who crossed the finish line first in both the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 5,000-meter race.

If you’ve tuned into the college’s radio station (WRMC), on a Monday at 3 p.m. this semester, you’ll have caught me chatting away about my favorite country, Americana and classic American rock music during “The Americana Hour.” You’ll have heard about the history of California country, the alternative politics and sound of Americana music, the new artists coming out of Nashville, Tenn. that we should be celebrating, and almost certainly, my love for Bruce Springsteen. The only thing that’s unusual for this kind of show is that you’ll have heard it all in a British accent.
