Reel Critic: “Nope”
(09/29/22 10:01am)
The promotional material for Jordan Peele’s “Nope” made it clear that the director’s otherwise cryptic third feature film would be an alien invasion movie. Trailers and posters featured a UFO, farm animals being sucked into the sky, an isolated desert locale — everything but the little green men themselves. So when Peele opens the film with a chimpanzee brooding on the set of a television shoot, his hands and mouth dripping with the blood of the people lying dead around him, audiences might believe that an act of fiendish narrative trickery is set to ensue. How else would the writer-director famous for making the subversive, socially conscious thrillers “Get Out” and “Us” interlock such disparate subjects as aliens and a murderous ape? The problem with “Nope” is that Peele does find another way, and in forgoing the twist, he robs a film so rich with atmosphere and provocative imagery of the dramatic payoff that would have propelled it to greatness.

Notes from the Desk: Is it time to reconsider our mascot?
(05/05/22 11:43am)
While I love the iconic panther statue and #rollpants as much as the next Midd Kid, I can’t help but wonder why a school in rural Vermont has a black panther, which has never roamed the area, for a mascot. We’re among 33 colleges with this mascot, and the panther is the fourth most popular college mascot, following the bulldog, the tiger and the eagle. Surely, we can come up with a mascot that is more unique to Middlebury and better suits the character of the college.
The best spring study spots on campus
(04/28/22 9:56am)
It's finally time to put away your skis, coats and winter hats, and take out your sandals, sundresses and sunglasses. At long last, the never-ending Vermont winter is over, and spring has sprung! The days of bitter-cold walks to the dining hall are through, now replaced by leisurely strolls to class, town and clubs.
Photographer Spotlight: Dylan Schmeling
(04/14/22 2:02pm)
Dylan Schmeling ’24.5, a Biology and Physics double major and an international student, finds inspiration in his home country of Tanzania. Working at his art for 12 years, he’s been influenced by famous wildlife photographer Paul Nicklen and portraitist Martin Schoeller. Dylan’s photography shows the Tanzanian countryside, and thus documents the people, animals and landscape he grew up around. He takes photos as a scientist would, capturing the infinitesimal moment with an objective eye. His work shows us a way of life and an environment that is increasingly threatened by contemporary society. Concerned about unsustainable practices across the world, he is a member of the Middlebury Environmental Council. The people shown in the photos are Hadza- one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in East Africa. They are also Dylan’s friends and neighbors, individuals he had the privilege of growing up with and learning from.

“The School of Bossa Nova": Students bring Brazilian music to Middlebury
(12/09/21 10:57am)
Just like Jack Black’s rockstars in the famous film, “The School of Rock,” students in “The School of Bossa Nova” course gave a performance to capstone their semester-long study of the bossa nova musical tradition. Professor of Luso-Hispanic Studies Mario Higa and his Portuguese class brought to life several bossa nova standards in Robinson Hall on Dec. 1.
A Photo Guide to the Wildlife in Middlebury
(11/11/21 2:11pm)
For me, the wildlife around campus is an integral part of the Middlebury experience. The wetlands and forests around the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM) and along Otter Creek create a perfect sanctuary for animals to live and thrive. Birds, amphibians and mammals alike share the space with us, and their presence on campus is hard to ignore. As an international student studying in a foreign country, walking in the woods and getting to know the wildlife is the best way for me to establish a relationship with the land. After returning to campus after a year and a half of remote studies, I can now observe once again the pattern of wildlife that I saw two years ago.
Hidden struggles at Middlebury
(11/11/21 10:55am)
Many students of color at Middlebury are already aware of many people in the college are a lot less than enthusiastic about their presence. From long stares for doing anything that slightly indicates our culture — and not in a cultural appreciation way but more in the way of being watched like an animal at the zoo — to the subtle change of tone when spoken to, as if speaking to something inferior, this is nothing new or surprising. These daily incidents range from outward racial slurs, white supremacist stickers on the student center sign, and even concerns of over-policing PALANA events by public safety — which is an intimate, safe social house for students of color — compared to next door, predominantly white social houses. Along with a systematically disadvantaged education system for minorities all of their lives, students had to go more than an extra mile to end up at prestigious, private institutions like Middlebury that are known for their support system. But the school flyers will never mention the micro- and macro-aggressive mistreatment that is involved for us. Middlebury is supposed to provide a system in place to protect their minority students from bigotry, and not implement more discriminatory systems to further disadvantage minorities like putting them on the Bread Loaf campus.

(11/11/21 10:58am)
Enter the latest addition to the weird and whimsical world of Wes Anderson films: “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun,” an ode to outpost journalism from the 20th century.

Allegations of wage theft and labor misconduct persist at college-partnered dairy farm
(11/04/21 10:00am)
The largest anaerobic biogas digester in the Northeast began production on Goodrich Family Farm in Salisbury on July 21. Standing beside Vermont Governor Phil Scott and Lieutenant Governor Molly Gray at the summer kickoff ceremony was the college’s executive vice president for finance and administration and treasurer, David Provost. Renewable natural gas produced by the digester will provide about one third of the energy that the college uses for heating and cooling — at the time, Provost called this partnership “critical” in helping Middlebury reach its renewable energy goals.
