August Siegel ’25 and Owen McCarthy ’25 adapted the 20 minute episode from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” into a 40 minute play starring Thomas Long ’25 and McCarthy as the eponymous Mac and Dennis, respectively.
Recent proposals have sought to improve parking availability on campus for faculty and staff by penalizing students who receive parking tickets, suggesting they should be unable to graduate or register for courses until all fines are paid. Parking permits issued for temporary medical conditions are also being reevaluated under the umbrella of the Center for Health & Wellness to ensure only students who need the accessible spots qualify for them.

What began as the occasional disappearance of kitchen utensils has escalated into the theft of common space pillows, destruction of property and the general misuse of a facility meant to be a sanctuary for students in need of a safe space.
Vermonters are known for being welcoming, but not to everyone — and if there is one thing they are protective of, it’s their ski mountains. When Vice President J.D.

Meanwhile, a smaller group of locals took to the streets in a counterprotest, celebrating Vance’s arrival.

On Feb. 24, 2022, eight years after the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. What was supposed to be a three-day special military operation has now officially gone on for over three years. Despite pessimist predictions, Ukraine was able to fight back the invasion and regain much of its lost territory.
Under balmy 70-degree Georgia skies, the Middlebury men’s baseball team opened its 2025 campaign with a sobering reality check, dropping all three games to a battle-tested Emory University squad. The defending NESCAC champions showed clear signs of off-season rust as they were overwhelmed 19–5 and 12-2 in Saturday’s doubleheader, before falling 5–3 in a more competitive Sunday contest.
Last Saturday, Middlebury women’s lacrosse opened their season on a high note, defeating #21 Amherst College 15–6.

The Trump administration's policies have had a disproportionate effect on certain groups at our school, such as international students concerned about looming deportations. STEM students may be feeling pressure from cuts to research funding that would stymie their professor’s projects in BiHall, while graduating seniors have reported career shifts in light of cuts to the federal government and targeted industries.
In the first installment of The Closet Report, I made a dig at the prevalence of Vermont’s flannels and hiking boots, but I also said there’s nothing wrong with embracing the maple… So for this last article, I would like to pay homage to the crunchy granola people in a way they best deserve: by highlighting none other than the man, the myth, the biology major, Noel Schlageter ‘26.5.
