In a mere 98 minutes, “Problemista” captured my heart. Comedian Julio Torres wrote, directed and starred in the surrealist comedy film, which follows Alejandro (Torres), an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador. After losing his job, Alejandro is connected to a funky art critic, Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton), who promises to sponsor Alejandro’s visa if he can help her present an art show for her late husband. This deal spurs a chaotic journey around New York City as Alejandro tries to fulfill Elizabeth’s wishes to secure his sponsorship.

Rarely do the words “Alexander Hamilton” and “TikTok” appear in the same sentence outside of the musical theatre community, but on April 11, the Alexander Hamilton Forum presented an event entitled “Should We Ban TikTok?” in BiHall. The event was situated in the context of the recent bill, H.R. 7521, which aims to either ban TikTok or force divestiture by ByteDance to enable American ownership. In an unusual display of Congressional bipartisanship, H.R. 7521 has already passed the House by a vote of 325–65.

As an English major, people often make small talk with me by asking about my favorite books. I vastly prefer this question to the alternative question about my degree: “So, what are you going to do with that?” Like most English majors, I read a lot, both for school and for pleasure. After I finish a semester, my reward is a trip to the bookstore where I can indulge in the books that I held off reading due to my coursework. To be clear, this is not a list of my favorite books. That list is unstable, shifting depending on the hour, the mood or the person asking. Instead, this is a list of books tailored to graduating seniors (though anyone could find some pleasure in them) — books that I hope will offer a balm or a new perspective as we prepare for the next phase of our lives.

Instagram announced a big change this February: It would begin to limit political content. I didn’t notice this change until a few weeks ago when many of my Middlebury classmates began to post pleas to circulate a text post instructing us how and why we should self-select back into being shown political content. I can understand why a change that seemed sudden (but wasn’t actually) could be alarming. However, I was deeply relieved. Instagram, the Facebook of our generation, was never designed to facilitate substantive political discourse.

Middlebury College has allowed a mistake to face the public and its students since 1966. That mistake is the name of the Chinese department’s language courses: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced “Chinese.” Out of the nearly three hundred Chinese languages in existence, only Mandarin — the most widely-spoken language in the world and what is used in most of mainland China, Singapore and Taiwan — is taught here. That’s fine; I myself am currently on track to advance to the Intermediate level. But why not call it what it is? I am proposing a change to Middlebury’s current language course titles from “Chinese” to “Mandarin Chinese” or “Modern Standard Chinese.”
