Despite a 1-3 start to the season, the Middlebury women’s basketball team should not be written off. “Our record thus far does not reflect the team’s potential by any means,” said captain Kaitlyn Fallon ’10. The team turned in strong performances at the Swarthmore tournament in which they ...

From Nov. 19 through Nov. 21, “Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief” played five shows at the Hepburn Zoo. The script, written 30 years ago by Pulitzer-winning playwright Paula Vogel, is inspired by Shakespeare’s “Othello.” But, as the title alludes, Vogel’s work shifts away from the tragic ...
It is the purpose of this column, and a responsibility I take very seriously, to represent the conservative voice on campus (a voice which is sometimes sadly lacking from much of the discourse represented on this campus). However, this week I am going to stray slightly from my usual topics in order ...
“The importance of the Senior Committee is that it serves as a forum for seniors to decide on the senior class gift and plan events for the senior class,” said Senior Committee co-chair Julisa Salas ’10. The committee kicked off its programming with the seniors-only 200 days party in McCullough ...
The lights were dimmed excepting a blue-filtered trickle that danced off the curved white wall of the Wright Theatre stage and the round “windows” that hung like the eye-like portals of a ship. They curved into a half moon outline that enclosed a stage empty but for the series of white columns stood ...
Animal Collective has had quite a year. Way back in January the Brooklyn/Baltimore-based group released the monumental “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” an album that set the critical world ablaze (many critics wasted no time in deeming it the album of the year) and kicked off the electro-pop trend ...

ALEXANDRIA — We, the students of the Alexandria study abroad program, are welcomed in Egypt every day. That doesn’t mean that the Egyptians welcome us to Egypt. Rather, they prefer to welcome us in Egypt. What’s the difference, beyond a preposition? In Arabic, the English phrase “Welcome to ...
Continuing in the trend of budget cuts that have dominated Campus headlines for over a year now, the introduction of new printing quotas — announced this week — is likely to elicit a variety of responses from the student body, including eye-rolling cynicism, apathetic indifference and indignant ...
This fall, students find themselves in the midst of a compressed final exam period.
