Coverage
"Now, let us explore the image of a Midd-kid. Some Midd-kids are preppies. Some Midd-kids are yuppies, and some Midd-kids are hippies. However, we never think of Midd-kids being anything beyond these three categories. In some words, if you are part of that other, you might be a Middlebury Student, but you aren't a Middkid per se. You don't belong. You are exotic."
"What the Coliseum was to Ancient Rome, Proctor is to Middlebury. Midd- Kids sit in one spot, and everyone else-- minority students? international students? sit somewhere else."
"Will more enhanced Cultural Distribution Requirements, and more diversity and international students allow us to break our stereotypes? Or will it just muddy our Anglo-centric curriculum and make the divisions in Proctor even more apparent."
