The mythically prolific Oklahoman singer and songw The mythically prolific Oklahoman singer and songwriter Zach Bryan has consistently released lengthy albums and chart-topping EPs since he was discovered on YouTube almost 10 years ago, singing outside his Navy barracks with a beer by his feet. He now holds the record for the largest ticketed concert in the United States, having sold out Michigan Stadium—colloquially known as the Big House—in Ann Arbor, Mich. last year, and has reached megastardom that sometimes feels distant on our campus but palpable in my native Appalachia. On the heels of his latest sold-out world tour, With Heaven On Tour, Bryan released an eight-song EP, Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, on Oct. 16. The EP, combined with a memoir of the same name and a mammoth two-hour interview with Matthew McConaughey posted on YouTube, marks a change in his work. Bryan, now sober and married, returns to his troubled adolescence in the wake of turning 30. Read about Bryan’s latest EP and more from our Arts & Culture section at the link in our bio.

Sick food is a fascinating conundrum to me. Normal Sick food is a fascinating conundrum to me. Normally, one’s appetite is adversely affected by all forms of blights and pestilence. On the other hand, some foods are exceptional when sick. As an Ashkenazi Jew with a weak immune system, I’m proud to say that my people’s food falls into the second camp. I mean, chicken noodle soup is kind of our thing, and matzo ball soup is excellent for indigestion. Tragically, there are no Jewish delis to speak of in a 20-mile radius from campus, which makes the already-miserable experience of being ill in college even more despondent. However, I recently had a revelation: Tibetan food is a more-than-sufficient analogue to Jewish food, and (close your ears, Grandma) might be, when sick, a bit of an improvement. Let me explain.

This past Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers swept th This past Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers swept the Dodgers in the NLCS, advancing to their first World Series since 1982 and ending the Dodgers’ chance of a three-peat. The Dodgers’ elimination has left three small-market teams in the bottom half of payroll rankings in the Brewers (19th out of 30), Rays (28th), and Guardians (30th) to fight it out in the World Series. While a small-market World Series victory has been pretty atypical in recent years, its occurrence this year might transform baseball for years to come. On Dec. 1, 2026, Major League Baseball’s Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expires. Although Major League Baseball (MLB) owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) have started making proposals, there will not be an agreement before Dec. 1, causing a lockout. A lockout doesn’t automatically mean games will be missed; rather, it’s the period between the expiration of the old CBA and signing of the new CBA which can take place solely during the off-season. During the lockout, all transactions are frozen, and teams are unable to communicate with their players. Read about the MLB’s problems with the CBA and lockouts and more from our Sports section at the link in our bio. Story by Benjamin Mayer, Sports Editor Photo by Wikipedia
After several mainstay Main Street shops shuttered After several mainstay Main Street shops shuttered their doors, Middletown spent the past year questioning the future of its local business network that anchors the city community. This fall, however, a tour of the town reveals anything but lifeless storefronts. Behind the bright window displays of Middletown’s new vegan bakery, heritage home goods boutique, and vintage market with a creative makerspace, the next generation of local businesses is taking root. As local opinions pour in and curiosity grows, The Argus thought it was time to meet the three independent entrepreneurs behind the burgeoning businesses that now call Middletown home.

On Oct. 6, 2026, Warner Bros. was officially acqui On Oct. 6, 2026, Warner Bros. was officially acquired by Paramount Skydance in a $110 billion merger that promised to deliver “30 high-quality theatrical films per year” and “build the next-generation global media and entertainment company powered by creativity and technology.” It is part of a sequence of mergers involving Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox and Sony acquiring Columbia. It gained quite a bit of attention due to a large number of members from Writers Guild of America (WGA), Directors Guild of America (DGA), and high-profile actors openly opposing the deal. Many of them later joined Block the Merger, an industry campaign led by the Future Film Coalition to oppose the Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance (WBD-PSKY) merger. Despite the intense opposition, the acquisition went through as planned. Read about the merger and more from our Opinion section at the link in our bio.

The English Department hosted the second event of The English Department hosted the second event of its Russell House Reading Series this school year with visual artist and poet Jen Bervin, though these two titles only touch on a portion of her work. On Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 6 p.m., students, faculty, and art lovers alike gathered in the main room of the breathtaking, historic building to listen to Bervin’s recitations from two of her works, the book “Silk Poems” and her manuscript “Love Ruth,” which has yet to be published.

If you have ever eaten at Usdan University Center, If you have ever eaten at Usdan University Center, chances are you have walked by a friendly older man with a white fluffy beard and a warm smile. Whether you have formally met him or not, Usdan Dining Room Attendant Dave Csere is an underrated campus celebrity. An hour and a half before his shift begins at 3:00 p.m. each afternoon, Csere can be found peacefully sitting near the Usdan Information Desk. Instead of staring at his phone, Csere sits comfortably with his thoughts, a rare sight in 2026. As he sits, he greets every person who walks by with a friendly “Hey, how are ya?” Anyone on the receiving end will feel his contagious, positive energy. Read about Csere’s positive influence on the Wesleyan community and more from our Features section at the link in our bio. Story by Jade Acker, Assistant Features Editor Photo by Finn Feldman
With the Nov. 3rd midterm elections just over two With the Nov. 3rd midterm elections just over two weeks away, Indivisible Middlesex held its fourth “No Kings” protest in downtown Middletown, Conn., on Saturday, Oct. 17. The protest drew around 300 people, according to organizer estimates. The demonstration was held as part of a national “No Kings” day of action sponsored by a host of progressive organizations. Reflecting on the protest, organizer Ed McKeon, a founding member of Indivisible Middlesex, thought the demonstration was “very successful.” It was one of 36 events across the state on the same day, according to McKeon. Local politicians, including Sen. Chris Murphy, congressional candidate Luke Bronin, State Sen. Matt Lesser, and State Rep. Brandon Chafee, spoke to the crowd, along with Wesleyan American Civil Liberties Union President Lane Daniels ’28 and the Rev. Edward Ford Jr. of Shiloh Christian Church in Middletown.

Dear President Roth, I write regarding your recent Dear President Roth, I write regarding your recent guest essay in the New York Times titled “The Obvious Step That Could Mean Fewer Fraternity Sexual Assaults.” In this essay you make an argument for fraternities going co-ed. I do not write to engage with the larger content of your essay, but merely to ask a focused question about your choice of phrase in one sentence. By Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, Willard Long Thorp Professor of Economics, Amherst College Read the entire Letter at the link in our bio.
