From Backpackers to Club Packers
So get this, hip-hop has an official chair in the over-booked halls of cultural theory.

Sweat Shops Better Than Alternative
I would like to respond to Lara Gluck's letter published in the November 3, 2000 issue of TSL. While I agree that the working conditions in many developing countries are horrendous, I do not believe that boycotting companies that make profits off these terrible work conditions is the best solution

Sagehen Not Extinct Like Dodo
My daughter, class of '03, has alerted me to the fact that there is a common misconception rampant in the Pomona College community that sage hens are extinct. I am a professor of wildlife resources at the University of Idaho, and am an expert on sage hens.
