Washington is a magical place. Well…not the state of Washington. That’s a dark, barren wasteland, ruled by bears, loggers, and the occasional yeti. But I first experienced the glory that is Washington D.C. as a young, capricious youth of twelve. My class trip to our nation’s capital was a whirlwind of new tastes and treats. I toured the various monuments, I ate sushi from a street vendor, and I decided that I had stumbled upon the greatest place on earth. More

Every American knows the story of Wounded Knee, but few know about the struggle between Lakota Sioux Indians and the U.S. government since that day in 1876.

Yet again, the Keck Graduate Institute has won an undeserved victory thanks to confused Claremont Colleges students who have no real sense of priorities. On Tuesday, the ASPC Senate endorsed a badly misguided and horribly flawed statement of their position on the development of the Bernard Field Station (BFS).
