Student Transcript from Town Hall Meeting

I was sitting here thinking about what I hoped to get out of this meeting and the idea of emotion has been a reoccurring theme for me. It’s been mentioned a few times in this meeting and every time we’ve gone around I hoped that we would latch on and delve a little deeper, but I still don’t think ...

Inviting Cultural Appropriation on Our Campus

To put it bluntly, Felly is the epitome of cultural appropriation and white privilege. He takes the culture, the language, the style and the stereotypical criminality of black culture and uses it for aesthetic purposes. His music continues on the tradition of musical blackface, in which white musicians ...

Sleep-Out to End Homelessness

A liberal arts student trying to “leverage their privilege” by spending the summer working at a homeless shelter – a classic move for a self-proclaimed social justice warrior. But, when I accepted a position as a Shepherd Poverty Intern at John Graham Housing & Services I wasn’t thinking ...

Our Role in the Syrian Refugee Crisis

Residents of the “First World” often look at the newspaper and see all kinds of horrific injustices and tragedies happening all over the world. There’s a feeling of helplessness in the way we discuss the problems of the day that are distant from our own homes. We usually just shake our heads in ...

Stress and the Student Body

As the end of the semester draws near, a familiar topic bubbles to the surface of everyday conversation: stress. The student body, as a collective, is stressed. But we are less certain on precisely why students are stressed and how to combat it. The answers to “why” and “how” are numerous and ...

Community Council Update

On Nov. 9, Community Council reviewed its large list of potential solutions to student stress, discussing whether additional topics should be added.

Student Organizations Face Budget Crunch: $100,000 for 40 Clubs

Student organizations that have yet to receive funding will see a shortage of resources available to them in the 2015-16 academic year. The Student Government Association (SGA) Finance Committee has already allocated around $900,000 of the $1,000,000 Student Activities Fee (SAF). Roughly 40 organizations ...

Where Do We Go From Here?

“Tell mom you love her,” my youngest brother, William, told me last Friday evening. I had answered the call in the midst of an economics assignment, and assumed he wanted me to respond to a text my mom had sent in our family group message – “Love you!” – about thirty minutes earlier.

A Call for Conscience

12,000,000 Syrians have fled their homes. A third have become refugees. Photographs of children’s corpses in Greece have surfaced, as have images of the terrible conditions of camps in the Middle East and Europe. The latter has scrambled to cope with the influx. Hungary and Slovakia have shut their ...

Middlebury Refuses to Commit to Full Inclusion

Our Trustees’ response to the petition asking Middlebury to change the design of the new residence halls west of Adirondack View is profoundly disappointing.  On the one hand, our VP for Communications and Marketing, Bill Burger, and the Editorial Board of the Campus make a very important point: ...

Philosophie: The Death of Divestment

The topic of this column — the death of the divestment movement — may appear strange, given that it is coming on the heels of The Campus’ editorial endorsement of fossil fuel divestment a few weeks ago, and moreover, because I am, as avid readers of my column know, an active leader in the Middlebury ...

The "Other" Tragedies

I was inspired to write this piece in light of the Paris attacks. About an hour before I read about the beginning of the siege, I spoke with my mom and sister who were in Paris at the time as they were relaxing at a friend’s apartment getting ready to go out to dinner. They’re safe, as are all the ...
