Cultural Life Struggles

The Cultural Life Program needs to be changed.

That’s not a new idea, no matter who you’re asking. You can hear people wondering about CLP status in the DH and club meetings alike. This section has made a habit of critiquing CLPs over the years. At the start of this school year, the administration changed the way that CLPs are handled and submitted.

Letter to the Editor

Lauren Anderson, ‘12

In response to the current campus dialogue regarding Islam, I would first like to point out that much of what I hear is spoken from an openly unfamiliar perspective on the religion or its followers.

There is no fault in misunderstanding or not knowing, but to proudly and heartily denounce that which is misunderstood can be harmful to the credibility of the dialogue. 

That Good Ol’ American Mentality

Many of us have been raised with the mentality that we need to stand up for what we believe, support free speech, and utilize our talents to further ourselves in society. It is our duty to protect and serve the world, topple dictators, aid victims of natural disasters and defend individual freedoms. 

Vigilance on Poinsett

We must never lose our sense of curiosity. There comes a point in a project’s timeline at which one simply must dive in, perhaps without knowing the results. Discussing and planning can really only give us so much; at some point, you have to stop talking and start doing. That being said, I advise all who will be around longer than me (meaning underclassmen) to keep a close watch on the proceedings of this project.
