Author: Ann Hanson, Dean of Student Affairs There have been many letters and opinion pieces appearing in The Campus in the past two weeks that have focused on sexual assault or rape at Middlebury. I welcome this dialogue. The issue of rape is serious, and ending this type of violence will require the ...
Author: Peter Nestor I do not deny that there may be good reasons to add an African-American Studies major to our curriculum. It is regrettable that none of those reasons were presented in last week's Campus article "Calling for a Visibly Diverse Curriculum." Instead, Athenia Fischer '04 argued that ...
Author: Kevin King Herbert Marcuse strikes back! For those of you scratching your heads right now, wondering what I mean, allow me the time to briefly explain who this man was and what he stood for.

Author: Ben Fainstein I feel compelled to write a few words regarding the review printed in the March 6 issue of The Campus about the Musical Players' production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!" I directed the show, and therefore I believe myself to be something of an authority ...
Author: Danielle Perkins A debate has recently been spurred by Senior Kevin King's article regarding the pop quiz posters. Myself, as well as other Campus readers, have watched people battle with letters over the meaning of the article and sometimes even the point of the posters. I do not wish to enter ...
Author: Drew Bennet First, I would like to commend The Campus' staff editorial for finally taking a controversial stand on an issue rather than spouting moderate rhetoric overly informed by the Student Government Association (SGA) and policies favored by the administration as per their usual method. ...
Author: [no author name found] In the past few weeks, the Middlebury College community has witnessed a swell of activism and awareness surrounding rape on campus.

Author: Alexa Varriano A crime has been committed on this campus. A heinous atrocity. Period. The fact that a person could have understood the "pop quiz" poster as declaring warfare against men on a battleground where the two sexes are pitted against each other rather than against rape absolutely disgusts ...
Author: [no author name found] To The Editor:The words and ideas in Kevin King's article titled "Pop Quiz: Who's Fighting Here?" from the March 6 edition of The Campus have found equality with murder, as they have uplifted the predator and vilified the victim. They have aided rapists on this campus, ...
Author: Todd Metter Okay, so since I haven't written in a while, I figured that I would do this piece Larry King style and just get my two and a half cents in on all the topics that are hot here at the College … Also, it's always nice to see how much trouble I can stir up with this approach — since ...

Author: Chris Shields Rape happens at Middlebury! Sorry to burst anyone's bubble who believed that a college as quaint and idealistic as Middlebury was free from sexual assault, but as a community we must stand and deal with the issue of sexual assault on our campus. It is in this spirit that I respond ...
Author: Nahal Batmanghelidj In last week's Campus Kevin King attacked an editorial written by Elizabeth Brookbank and me, as well as "pop quiz" posters that were displayed around campus. He referred to both the editorial and the posters as a form of "gender bashing" that borders on harassment. His ...
Author: Elizabeth Brookbank I too am offended and disgusted by the "pop quiz" posters put up all over campus that Kevin King '02 made the subject of his "gender bashing" editorial last week. In fact, the first time I saw that poster it made me sick to my stomach. I was physically ill at the thought ...
Author: Samantha Severin After reading Kevin King's "Pop Quiz: Who's Fighting Here?" in last week's edition of The Campus, I would like to offer the following response.I am far less concerned with offending the men on this campus than I am with coming to the understanding that violent sexual assaults ...

Author: Ben Gore On the far fringe of human thought, all divisions are meaningless. When you move beyond Democrats and Republicans, socialism and capitalism, punk rock and boy bands, you move into a realm where all facets of existence are simply about existence. Music is about life. Economics is about ...
Author: Michael Stahler Junior Year Abroad. It is an opportunity for Middlebury students to get away from the College and all its quirks, including some interesting late night McCullough dances, and venture out into the larger world for a peek. As I looked into the opportunity, I did not fully understand ...
