Oh come now. MTV Spring Break Pomona College? No. No way. The college’s decision to charge students who stay on campus during spring break is unfair. This is not a vacation hideaway. Many seniors are planning to stay on campus for at least part of the break in order to work on their senior theses.

Attending a small liberal arts college proscribes a very distinct college experience and equally distinct college memories. I enjoy the experience and I will enjoy the memories.

Prague will soon be making ample apologies for the winter I’ve been through: (they say the city is a "magic" contradiction: beauty/pain, shitty weather/beautiful weather) soon in the spring. However, the three hours of sunlight, the hail, the frost, the snow, and oh! the wind have in the mean time conspired to turn my thoughts, time and again, to the most unlikely of places and in the most unlikely of ways– for I never thought of Southern California as the proverbial land of "milk and honey," but it is, it really is.

Since our first months at Pomona, we have been staunch admirers of your work. Many a night we have kept vigil for a hint of your nocturnal activities, but alas, we have yet to witness your elite team in action. We understand that the only way to join Mufti is to catch you on the pasting prowl, but since this is our last semester at Pomona, we implore you to admit us into your illustrious group.

As I read the last issue, I realised that Conor Friedersdorf’s opinions article served as practical proof of Bethany Kibler’s piece on popularity at Pomona. I think Friedersdorf’s first two lines demonstrate exactly what Kibler was explaining; to be popular at Pomona means to represent the popular campus view or politics.
