Wesleyan University's official student newspaper since 1868 and the oldest twice-weekly college paper in the country.
Working closely with performance arts groups such Working closely with performance arts groups such as Spike Tape, SHADES, Noisy Visuals, Collective Motion, and Wes Arabesque, the interdisciplinary committee aims to serve as an overarching group, supporting clubs and promoting equitable scheduling for events in various locations across campus, including the Patricelli ’92 Theater, Russell House, and WestCo Cafe. “[We] are not producing any shows, whether that be a play, a musical revue, or a dance showcase,” SPARC wrote on their Fall 2026 Community Feedback form. “Our programming is limited to community-focused panels, talkbacks, and mixers.” The introductory meeting was also a way for various performing arts groups on campus to introduce themselves to students. SPARC was developed with the goal of managing the schedule of the ’92 Theater and establishing common spaces for theater groups to interact. Rather than focusing on any individual group, SPARC trains and supports the dance and theater communities in their entirety, prompted by recent restructuring of the theater community over the last several years.

“What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an abs “What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.” Although former CT Senator Donald E. Williams Jr. meant the aforementioned as a joke, it appears Associate Dean of Students Kevin Butler did not—or so his rhetoric proved during the Academic Integrity and the Use of Artificial Intelligence session for International Student Orientation this summer. When I heard mixed feedback about a talk given by Dean Butler at ISO, I wanted to get to the bottom of what sparked that discontent as a journalist, but also as an international student myself.” Read more of Executive Editor Janhavi Munde’s ‘27 dissent at the link in our bio.

I spent an inordinate amount of time of my gap yea I spent an inordinate amount of time of my gap year hanging out with guys from the Netherlands, which was strange since I was in South America. I was lucky enough to find out that the Dutch are a great time, and one of their best traits (besides the wooden clogs) is the use of the word, “gezellig.” The term is untranslatable, but finds rough English analogues in cozy, relaxing, and congenial. Gezellig can also be used to describe people, places, and things. A lot of good experiences are gezellig, yet not everything good is gezellig. It’s a difficult word to place. It’s also the best way to describe Harrie’s Jailhouse. Read about the warm and fuzzy vibe at Harrie’s Jailhouse and more from our Opinion section at the link in our bio.

Although September 29th enjoys no legal recognitio Although September 29th enjoys no legal recognition as a public, federal, or statutory holiday in the United States, plenty of curious events that have transpired on this inglorious day in years past nevertheless merit attention. A walk through The Argus’ archives testifies to this truth, at least as it applies to the University’s history. One edition published 83 years ago on today’s date, September 29th, warrants a reexamination and reflects day-to-day life at the University during a time of unforeseen international conflict. In 1943, readers of The Argus rarely found an article free from references to the ongoing World War. By September of that year, the United States was nearing the two-year mark since officially joining the global conflict on Dec. 8, 1941, the day following the Imperial Japanese Navy’s military strike against the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. One edition of The Argus, published on Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1943, illuminates the realities of a University continuing to function in a wartime environment in a particularly revealing fashion.

Around 100 students and faculty members crowded in Around 100 students and faculty members crowded into the Allbritton Center for the Study of Public Life on Friday, Sept. 25 to hear South Korean Ambassador to the United States Kang Kyung-wha discuss the future of Korean foreign policy and relations with the United States. The talk, titled “Korea’s Role in a Changing World Order,” covered the evolving U.S.–Republic of Korea (ROK) alliance, inter-Korean relations, Korean soft power, sustainability, and AI initiatives. Prior to serving as ambassador, Kang was the foreign minister of South Korea and held roles in the Korean National Assembly Speaker’s Office, the United Nations, and the Asia Society. She also received graduate degrees in the neighbouring state of Massachusetts, and described this trip to Connecticut as a kind of homecoming.

Aptly, considering the approaching Halloween seaso Aptly, considering the approaching Halloween season, the Goldrach Gallery’s exhibition of the semester is titled “Grotesque: Art Beyond Restraint.” Curated by Miya Tokumitsu, the Donald T. Fallati and Ruth E. Pachman Curator of the Davison Art Collection, the featured works will be on display in the Pruzan Art Center. The room is open between 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday. Upon entering the exhibition, viewers are met with displays that explore the idea of the grotesque throughout centuries of artwork. “Commonly associated with horror and abjection today, the grotesque has historically also been a locus of generation for caprice, wit, ribaldry, and ornament,” Tokumitsu wrote.

In just a few years, Senior Class President Ronald In just a few years, Senior Class President Ronald Ceesay ’27 has conquered campus involvement, from coordinating the tour guide program to leading the First Things First Pre-Orientation. His latest endeavor entails reviving the Lucid Colors Collective, the University’s student-run visual arts club focused on highlighting artists of color on campus. This week, The Argus sat down with Ceesay to discuss his happenings. Read about Ronald’s endeavors and more from our Features section at the link in our bio.

After a long summer of waiting for a glimpse of th After a long summer of waiting for a glimpse of the University’s newest dining space, Pi² Café opened its doors to the community on Sept. 7, coinciding with the first day of classes. The cafe opening was part of the launch of the Casper Life Sciences Building, the newest construction on campus. Pi² Café replaces the beloved Pi Café, previously located in Exley Science Center, with relatively similar offerings. The Café also boasts a selection of hot breakfast sandwiches and crepes, according to the Bon Appétit website. The new cafe is open from 8:00 am-7:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 pm on Fridays. Read about Pi² Café and more from our News section at the link in our bio.

Everyone knows the transition into your first year Everyone knows the transition into your first year of college isn’t easy. You have to find new friends, create a new home, and navigate a whole new town. That’s why at the University, we have all these systems set up: a five-day orientation full of community guidelines meetings, dance performances, and small orientation activities. And while the purpose of all of these events is to slowly integrate first-years into the culture of the school and help them meet new people before the pressures of classes begin, it can sometimes have the opposite effect.
