Inside the Claremont City Hall this Tuesday, irony, as a friend of mine said, was dripping off the walls. Now I’m not sure if irony drips stickily so that it sort of slops down the wall with a slurping sound, or if it surreptitiously slides down the wall: all I heard was that it dripped. Go to Letter

Last week, we inserted an ad in The Student Life that garnered a lot of negative feedback. As is our policy when we receive negative feedback, we discussed the issue as an editorial staff. These discussions have yielded two results. Go to Letter

I’m writing to show support for Scott LaBoda’s opinions in his article "Vandals Detract from College Experience." Go to Letter

I am writing on two issues: first, I will argue that Laura Ephraim’s e-mail should not have been included in the section of "Harassing E-mails;" second, I would like to address the editorial that Ms. Ephraim wrote regarding the vandalism to her door.Go to Letter

In fact, the Dean’s office, which circulates material in advance of Faculty Meetings at the direction of the elected faculty Executive Committee, did circulate a copy of the grievance policy proposed by Professor Gaines.  Go to Letter

Several issues have surfaced recently that quite frankly call our community’s devotion to free speech into question. The first is the criticism leveled by members of the student body against the publication of The Student Life’s annual joke issue. The second is the inclusion of pro-life advertisements in the most recent issue. Go to Letter

I haven’t always disliked TSL. My first two years at Pomona, I respected the newspaper for disseminating information, mostly based on facts, and maintaining a degree of integrity and respectability that should be expected out of a student newspaper. Go to Letter

The joke issues of The Student Life over the last 3 semesters are indefensible examples of what void develops in the absence of all journalistic integrity. Megan Purn’s letter from the editor and editorial board both attempted to defend these joke issues in last week’s TSL. What follows is a critique of those defenses. Go to Letter

We find it ironic that, after stating that "freedom of expression and press freedom are privileges," in your October 1, 1999 Editorial Board, you continue to argue that you have been given free reign to print whatever you like. Continuing, the editorial says, "Our student newspaper is an open forum for the free expression of opinion, but it is not to be abused as a tool for reckless and malicious purposes." Go to Letter

Alright, enough chit-chat. Enough small talk, bub, where’s my Scolari Sez in the Arts&Features section? Go to Letter

I have always been under the impression that the fraternity I belong to and the other fraternities on campus are organizations dedicated to providing a festive weekly retreat for all of our fellow Sagehens from the onslaught of endless reading assignments, essays and lab reports.Go to Letter

This letter was inspired and is in response to last week’s article entitled "Why Hip-Hop Sucks in 2000..." written by one Mike Gaertner. Well Michael, you made some interesting points in your article in regards to how hip-hop may appear to, in fact, "suck in 2000." Go to Letter

Now, to be fair, there are more events going on at Pomona than in the past, simply because of the organization within CCLA that exists now as opposed to what was there in previous years. So, if that’s the case, why does nothing worthwhile ever happen? Go to Letter

A bitter tone ran throughout Adam Graham-Silverman’s article "Pomona Senior Pleads Tenderness" (TSL 2/11/00), an unfortunate result of missed opportunities, failed expectations and a trend of consuming hatred that lurks on Pomona’s campus. Go to Letter

I am the advertising manager for The Student Life.  I would like to take a moment to talk about the presence of Pro-Life propaganda inserts in last week’s issue of The Student Life.  Go to Letter

I want to first say that these signs were taken by students with no affiliation to the Landrum Student Committee and were waiting to be disposed of. I decided it would be a good idea to use the sign structures for their physical practicality. Go to Letter

I am told by Spencer Wilson to register with [Dean Quinley] my complaints regarding the Frary courtyard bells. As a CMC student, I often do not hear them when they chime, especially the hymns at morning, noon, and supper times. This just goes to show the elitism of Pomona College. Go to Letter
