The Reel Critic - 09/09/10

The news that director Edgar Wright would be heading up an adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s “Scott Pilgrim” graphic novel series was cause for celebration, for fans of both the comic and of Wright’s work.  The two films Wright is best known for, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, are gut-busting ...

Christian Values... - 09/09/10

School is in session, and everyone has come with their “fall collection”—a culmination of items, spanning from what was not left behind in the spring to the last item that you got before returning to beautiful 05753.  You may be asking yourselves, “Christian, what is this talk about ‘fall ...

Square Dance: New dance moves leave the first-years spinning

Editorial: A summer of change

Well, it’s that time of year again. Several weeks of e-mails from professors and gradually cooling nights have served as warning, but nothing can ever quite prepare us for the start of a whole new school year. The papers, the tests and the stress are back, but so is our beautiful Vermont campus and ...

Students enjoy summer without leaving Vermont

While most of campus packed up and left Middlebury in May, others packed their bags and moved all the way to… Battell? For some Middlebury students, the dawn of summer meant back to school (and, for most, living in a modest Battell double). About 300 Middlebury students live and work on campus every ...

Let the adventures begin.

Welcome back, Middlebury. After browsing through the photos you submitted to The Campus’ Summer Photo Contest, I know that many of you did some really spectacular things this summer. You traveled, you spent time with family, you made new friends. You soaked up beautiful vistas, you met exotic animals, ...

The disintegration of the ‘ethnosphere’

For most of the world’s people, climate change is inextricably linked to starvation, migration and extinction; the phenomena cannot be mentioned independently of declining crop yields, rising seas and vector-borne disease. For the overwhelming minority of us living in the developed world, however, ...

Standard Deviations - 09/09/10

I have a love-hate relationship with the term “hook-up.”  On the one hand, as someone who loves discretion, it’s a perfect phrase to describe a physical encounter without press-ganging your conversational partners into envisioning your sordid life.  On the other hand,  as someone who loves ...

The Anthropology of an Unkindness

BEST WEEK EVER. Such a statement, rendered in all caps and spoken with the naïve earnestness of the Double Rainbow guy, is often written off as hyperbole. However, it is my job to prove to you, loyal Campus reader, that such a statement can be spoken with confidence, without inspiring vitriol, EVERY ...

Under the Raydar - 09/09/10

Taking part in orientation meetings as a senior has been: hilarious, exciting, redundant, but above all else, eye-opening. It is surreal to be back on campus as an FYC to watch the sweaty move-in-day-goodbyes, the excitement of new connections, the awkward lulls in conversation, the name games and the ...
