Amitai Ben-Abba’s op-ed of March 20 "Occupation — the Censored Word" labels Ambassador Dennis Ross’s recent lecture on the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “an astonishing feat of deception.” Not only did Ross clearly, and fairly, criticize both Israelis and Palestinians while ...
I have a sister. I have a best friend. I have parents. I also watched a film called Five Broken Cameras today. A documentary by Emad Burnat, the movie shows us the scenes of his life.

Sexual assault: sketchy guy at a party starts grinding on a random drunk girl, brings her more drinks and leads her back to his dorm.

“Ladies and gentleman of Radio Land, it is six o’ clock. The sun has set. Soon darkness will be all around. Yes it is six o’clock and evening has fallen, an evening of thrills and suspense.” For nearly eight years, every Saturday night, these words have been broadcasted from WRMC’s ...

It was almost comical. One of the custodial staff was in the Battell bathroom as I brushed my teeth early one morning during winter term. “You haven’t seen a tree, have you?” she asked, peering into the shower stalls. “No, I haven’t,” I replied, both puzzled and bemused. Coincidentally, ...

Two years ago when we received the fat acceptance package from Middlebury, we were pleasantly surprised to find a letter encouraging newly admitted students to take a gap year.

I am a heavy drinker. According to Middlebury College, I fall squarely into the 11 percent of students that consumed 10 or more drinks in one sitting in the previous two weeks. How interesting.

It is not surprising that the word “occupation,” was not mentioned in Dennis Ross's lecture on Tuesday night.
