Overconsumption Has Ruined Collecting
The Wesleyan Argus
It’s no coincidence that the decline in collecting as a hobby corresponds with the decline in the consumption of physical media. Gone are the days where you needed to own a stack of DVDs or VCRs to watch a movie; now you can just turn on Netflix or HBO Max. Even movie theaters are disappearing—RIP […]
My Last Argus Article: The Training Ground, Not the Pinnacle
The Wesleyan Argus
“Well I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade…” This is my 35th and final article for The Wesleyan Argus, but I won’t be delivering a Springsteen-esque sermon or one of those classic senior “goodbye columns.”  Let’s face it, I’m not Washington Post columnist George Will. I haven’t been writing columns for generations. Rather, […]
SafeWords: Sex Horoscopes
The Wesleyan Argus
It’s hard to believe, but it’s the last issue of the semester, which means that it’s the last SafeWords article as well. As the student body girds their loins in preparation for finals season, we proudly present something to tide you over until you’re free from exams. Presenting: Birdy & Bea’s Sex Horoscopes!

Students Map Housing Accessibility Barriers in First Formal Residential Tour
The Wesleyan Argus
Roughly two dozen students fanned out across campus with clipboards, rulers, and levels to document every broken push button, missing handrail, and inaccessible bathroom stall they could find in the major student dormitories on the morning of Sunday, May 3. The accessibility tour, organized by student disability advocacy group WesAbilities and the Wesleyan S

The Argus’ WesCeleb column highlights the achievements of the University’s notable seniors and their contributions to our campus community. For our last issue, the Features team has decided to shine the spotlight on the talented seniors of The Argus’ Spring 2026 masthead. After four years of late nights in the newsroom, these seniors have left […]
Rho Epsilon Pi Re-affiliates With Greek Life as Wesleyan’s Only Sorority
The Wesleyan Argus
Every two weeks, over a dozen female-identifying students gather on campus to update each other on their daily lives, celebrate one another’s personal achievements, and plan community events. There’s likely a PowerPoint at the gathering, and an assortment of snacks.  These events are chapter meetings hosted by Rho Epsilon Pi (Rho Ep), the University’s s
How Co-op Changed Our Lives: Saturday French Toast at Low Rise C1
The Wesleyan Argus
There aren’t many things that can bring true joy in this world, much less at 10 a.m. on a Saturday. Against all odds, we believe we have found the cure to all sorrow, localized in the wonderful, mold-ridden walls of the Junior Village. If you’re looking for the best use of your three co-op bread […]
Letter From the Editors: Our Nights at the Newsroom
The Wesleyan Argus
Dear Reader, If you’re ever at the Argus office on a Thursday evening, you’d likely hear someone shout “You’re all FAKE NEWS!” at us from the hallway connected to WESU. This is one of the general managers from WESU Radio, among the many people we count on seeing during our production hours twice a week.  […]
Potty Training: Ranking the Shiniest and Smelliest of University Bathrooms
The Wesleyan Argus
Over the past four years, I have spent some time thinking about the finest restrooms on campus. While few have asked my opinion concerning University bathrooms, there has been a notable lack of coverage on this topic within The Argus. I don’t claim to have been everywhere on campus; I’ve hardly been in certain buildings, […]
