The recent townhouse lottery has left many super senior Febs disappointed. Unlucky lottery times and the lack of priority draw for older students are a setup for disaster.
In one of my in-person midterm exams this term, I observed cheating on an egregious level. With phones in their laps, four students copied down answers from their screens. They showed their exams to one another and copied down answers from each other’s papers. They whispered loudly to one another, discussing questions and answers as if there were no one else in the room. This went on for the entirety of the two-hour exam. Another student, sitting by themselves in a different part of the room, used their phone, which sat covertly in the top pocket of their backpack.
The History of Art and Architecture Department recently announced that Marguerite Lenius has accepted an assistant professor position, specializing in the art of Africa and the African Diaspora. Lenius is the first professor covering art from the African continent and diaspora at the college.
The Town Hall Theater hosted a public screening of a short film highlighting the Yellow House Community, a residential home for adults with disabilities, this past Thursday. With two evening showings, the event brought in over 200 people who came to show support for the film and learn more about Yellow House’s program. Complete with a red carpet for the actors, a cocktail bar and a standing ovation, the event was meaningful for the residents, their families and the filmmakers alike.

Middlebury plans to continue housing students in the Inn on the Green next year for the third fall semester in a row, due to an unusually small graduating class and uneven number of students studying abroad. The college has offered a $2,000 travel reimbursement for anyone willing to switch their spring study abroad semester to the fall, which about 20 students have accepted.

I have fond childhood memories of sitting criss-cross apple-sauce with my three younger siblings, listening and giggling as my father read us the storybook “Everybody Poops.” For families with little kids, this is often a staple of their repertoire of nighttime stories, and one that I’ve enjoyed seeing passed on to younger cousins. Not only does it elicit infectious giggles from little kids, but it also provides a positive outlet to teach them about their bodies.

In fall of 2022, Professor Julia Berazneva’s Climate Change Economics class (ECON 0365) put out a survey about attitudes on campus towards climate change and potential policies the school could adopt. The survey had 1,265 total respondents including 350 faculty and staff members. Notably, 55% of respondents identified as female and only 39% as male, with the remainder identifying as non-binary, other, or declining to answer. Over 95% of respondents said that climate change was a “very important” or “quite important” societal problem. With broad support across the board, addressing climate change is clearly an important issue for much of the campus. We asked survey questions about potential policies the school could adopt to address climate change including adjusting thermostats, meat-free dining days, an internal carbon charge and a new distribution requirement.

Taped to the counter of Crossroads Cafe, a small square of paper reads “Due to inflation, our prices have increased.” While the student-run campus cafe, located in McCullough Student Center, has typically kept costs relatively low — with $4.50–5 smoothies and lattes starting around $3.15 — inflation has forced Middlebury to reevaluate certain aspects of college dining.
For my first seven semesters at Middlebury, there existed a beloved, clandestine spot tucked into the ground floor on Proctor Dining Hall. Affectionately known as “Proc Basement,” this space provided a haven for dancers across campus to hold formal rehearsals or casually work on choreography. The only other studio spaces on campus with a full mirror — the Mahaney dance studios and the boxing gym in the athletic center — exist on the margins of campus. (The availability of those spaces is also fickle; the former is prioritized for the Dance Department and the latter is often utilized for PE classes.) Proc Basement, however, was a centrally located and communal space that provided a creative outlet for anyone who sought it out.
