Dean Quinley Is Like a Nuclear Bomb
By David Lydon
Opinions Staff Writer

For this week’s TSL, I wrote a wonderful article about Pomona’s snack policy. This article was articulate, and humorous, and relevant. It was also completely neutered by the e-mail that Dean Quinley sent out Monday, announcing that snack will move to North Campus every Thursday.


Bush's Superfund Policy Bows to Monied Corporate Interests
By Peter Douglas
Staff Staff Writer

Unfortunately, the idea that pollution is a crime worthy of punishment is one to which our current government does not subscribe, and as the Superfund rapidly dries up, the Bush administration has refused to refill it.


Eat Food You Want, But Don't Waste It
By Marcie Holmes
Contributing Writer

Before, we may have kidded ourselves that the dining hall staff painstakingly extracted “salvageable” food from our trays and used it in the next day’s soup.

It is also clear that the amount of uneaten food that is thrown away at any given meal reaches impressive levels.


Huntley Lacks Flexibility, Ends Returns Too Early
By Aaron Gilbert
Opinions Staff Writer

As with every great thing, the Claremont Colleges—otherwise one of the best places in the country—have a catch: Huntley Bookstore.

By Michael Owen
Opinions Editor

The present controversy over the Bush Administration’s emerging interest in preemptive war—an interest elevated, from its dubious beginnings as “retaliation” against Afghanistan, to the shrine of foreign policy—deserves some mention in its own right. But perhaps more disturbing than the move toward American-initiated warfare is the progressive spread of silence among the American public.


Liberal Faculty Can Teach with Integrity
By Tony Barboza
Opinions Staff Writer

If you’re in college, you’re most likely being indoctrinated by a force of closed-minded liberals, according to some commentators on a recent study at Cornell University. The study looked at professors at twenty universities nationwide and found a largely prevalent political allegiance to the left.


Time Flies at Pomona, Pay Attention
By Cory Forsyth
Opinions Staff Writer

Einstein had it right when he said, “When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute—and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.” Pomona, then, is my pretty girl, and there’s something ironic and slightly perverse about the fact that when I come here and my days are packed with activities, they seem to flow by like water.
