How Much Does it Cost to be an Athlete?

It’s Actually Just a Game,” an op-ed by Issac Baker ’14.5 and Hannah Bristol ’14.5 in our Jan. 22 issue, sparked outrage and debate from both athletes and non-athletes alike.  But it also raised some important questions on the financial support athletic teams receive compared to other extra-curricular ...

Girl, You Stupid: Queer Cattiness and Competition

As a new and existing member of the queer community, I cannot help but comment on the cattiness stereotype that many gay and bisexual men fulfill on campus that perpetuates the hypercompetitive, unwelcome and truly unsafe spaces we breathe in. With the new influx of the Febs on campus integrating into ...

On Image-Conscious Campus, Rosie Molinary Talks

“Where are all the fat Americans?” I overheard an international student joke in Proctor Dining Hall during the first week of first-year orientation. And he’s got a point. Middlebury’s student body is often labeled not only as very attractive, but also fitter — and much wealthier — than ...

Stocks down, but Stockroom Always Up

When I peered into the stockroom on the first floor of Bi-Hall, Tom Sheluga and his assistant were hunched over a copy of the Middlebury magazine.  He ushered me over and gestured at a picture of Roger Sandwick, a biochemistry professor.  As I approached, I realized he was actually pointing at the ...

Bringing Laundry into the 21st Century

Imagine going online and with just clicks having access to the status of all the laundry machines at the College. No dragging your gargantuan laundry bag down snowy paths only to discover the machine you wanted is full. No waiting hours for a machine to open up. No forgoing laundry for weeks because ...

Vergennes Solar Array Underperforms

The Vergennes solar project just completed its first year of operation, but energy output results were not as great as its developers had hoped.  In 2012, the city of Vergennes leased land by its wastewater treatment plant to Encore Redevelopment, which installed a solar array in that area with the ...

In light of a recent measles outbreak, which originated at Disneyland in December and has since grown to 102 cases in 14 states, the debate on child-vaccination laws in Vermont has been reignited. According to America’s Health Rankings, which is funded by the United Health Foundation, Vermont is ...

Ronald James Read passed away in June 2014 at the age of 92. Before his death, none of his Brattleboro neighbors knew that he was a millionaire. Read lived a very modest life. However, in his will he left $4.8 million to the Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and $1.2 million to the Brooks Memorial Library. Read ...

An Open Letter: Why I Chose Not to Attend Resilience

I have a story, too. That was my first thought when Project Resilience first hit Facebook with founder of Resilience, Emma Erwin’s story. As the campus responded with likes, comments and shares, I felt an irrational anger and sadness take over, making me want to scream — I have a story, too. This ...

New Project Resilience Goes Live with Stories

On a typical crisp autumn night in Brooker last semester, Cooper Couch ’14.5 was curious about his new housemates. Curled up besides the cozy warmth of a crackling fire with fellow Brooker residents, he asked Emma Erwin ’15.5 a simple question. “What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done?” This ...

When one spends 100 bucks on a bikini wax over break, it is important to make the feeling of a thousand fires being ignited on your “coochie” worth it. (“Is this what death feels like?”- Maddie Webb). One may assume that a bikini wax is part of the school-wide mission to secure that J-term cuddle ...

Mental Wellness Abroad

I’ve been in Madrid, Spain for the past week, beginning my semester of study abroad at the Middlebury School in Spain. Though Madrid has been amazing thus far, there are times of homesickness, stress, exhaustion and culture shock. Though these experiences are normal and common amongst those who study ...

Cliterary Devices, Rhetorical Phallacy

Early on Tuesday night, when the sun had completely set and the temperature dropping by the minute, the room slowly fills with chattering students. Some sink into beanbags. Others stretch out on one of the many couches in the cozy, lamp-lit space. At first glance, this could just be a get-together of ...

At the Gun Range

My family members have never been “gun people.” Nobody has ever owned one; it is doubtful any of us could tell you how to load one and it is highly unlikely any of us will be buying one in the future. I was always told as a boy that guns were like needles on the street or strangers, that you should ...

Election 2016: An Outlook

Tuesday night, Barak Obama gave his penultimate state of the union address. The Obama administration is almost over, and the 2016 elections are coming up. That may seem far off, but the shuffling and sorting is well underway for both parties.  Before I get into who I think is in and who I think is ...

Reading Davis Family Library

The purpose a building serves is generally quite clear from the moment one enters it. The vacuum-sealed doors and laboratories of Bi-Hall denote science education, the gyms and courts in the Athletic center indicate the activities housed therein and so forth. However, the layout and contents of a building ...
