		College smoking bans stifle rights to indulge

The Circle, Marist College, NY

Recently, the University of Maine has imposed a smoking ban on its students, forbidding them from smoking any tobacco products on campus grounds. Other colleges, such as Vassar, are considering similar bans on smoking.

I can see why colleges would consider such bans.

Letter: Professors correct reporter's errors

The Good 5 Cent Cigar, University of Rhode Island, ri

3/10/10 - To the Cigar,

Usually we are willing to let the Cigar's inaccuracies in reporting go, but the misquoting and misattribution in the March 9 article "URI professors talk women's global issues" is too egregious to let go uncorrected.

First, for the record, as was clearly stated to the reporter, Donna Hughes' talk on "Sex-Trafficking" is scheduled for April 15 not March 18.

Downes to Earth With Jimmy Jones

The Tripod, Trinity College (CT), CT

John Downes-Angus (JDA): Some on-campus incidents have spawned recent complaints regarding campus safety. Some students have voiced the opinion that Campus Safety needs to be stricter, that we need more protection, but a lot of these safety problems seem like city-life issues that are beyond the scope of our Campus Safety's operating capacity.

To the Editors of the Tripod and Ninna Gaensler-Debs, regarding the Feature article, "Tales from Abroad: Premature BINGO Will Get You Spanked"

To the Editors of the Tripod and Ninna Gaensler-Debs, regarding the Feature article, "Tales from Abroad: Premature BINGO Will Get You Spanked" In extolling the benefits of study abroad in Amsterdam, Ms. Gaensler-Debs writes, "…instead of looking down on the grandeur of Frog Hollow from my window, outside here I see sparkling canals and beautiful blonde Dutch people…" Given the context, it's safe to assume the term "grandeur" is used sarcastically with reference to Frog Hollow, and readers would be correct in substituting a word such as "squalor.

We all know the importance of the Internet and the media in our daily lives. Most of us are constantly tuned into the news via our computers, Blackberries, and iPhones. Facebook updates us on our friends, and various online news sources update us on the world.

Just last week, the PawPrint published a story by so called editor Michael Oleaga entitled "Get to Know Your Organizations: Gay Straight Alliance", which to me more sounded like an article from the San Francisco Chronicle rather than comprehensive reporting.

Slipped under the Lens' door, we received a document containing a consulting report prepared by the Summit Consulting Services, LLC. The lengthy, 39-page document examines, with a fine toothed comb, the safety procedures followed by CCRI in full detail; more specifically, security procedures.

3/11/10 - University of Rhode Island students who picked up yesterday's issue of the Providence Journal may have noticed an editorial written by their very own President David M. Dooley.

Entitled "URI has big role in state's economic renewal," Dooley wrote about the university's new responsibility to aid the state of Rhode Island in its economic recovery.

Sex and the Smithie: Let every woman define her own sexuality

The Sophian, Smith College, MA

5 days ago

I really enjoy being a Smithie. I love my classes and my friends; I truly appreciate that at Smith, it is normal to question the status quo. In my years here, however, I've encountered a trend in interpersonal dynamics that has truly upset me, and I feel the need to address it.

"Urban" vs. Multicultural: TRYBE corrects Wire terminology

Wheaton Wire, Wheaton College, MA

5 days ago by Afua S. Akoto '11

As a member of Trybe Multicultural Dance Group for the past three years, I have been generally pleased with the articles written about the annual gala. However, this year's article about the gala, "Trybe Presents: A Block Party," was upsetting, to say the least.

Exercise a little tolerance for Republicans

The Sophian, Smith College, MA

5 days ago by Joanna Johnson

As everyone undoubtedly knows already, Smith College is an inclusive, welcoming place: the community accepts all colors, creeds, sexual identities, nationalities, gender identities, ethnicities and disabilities. None of it matters in the eyes of the campus's tolerant community, because only who you are as an individual is important.

Living Legacy: My freshman year

5 days ago by Natalie Rizzo

3/5/10 - Second semester freshman year, I got a 0.5 g.p.a. I figured I would just get that out of the way and no, you didn't read that wrong. Point five!

How does one achieve such a superb grade point average?

Fresh out of the northern New Jersey wasteland, where I had spent my high school years, I came to the University of Rhode Island a na've, know-it-all freshman.

You just can't blame the 'that girls'

The Sophian, Smith College, MA

5 days ago by Sarah Fitz

You know her. She sits in the second row, right side. She could have been another anonymous Smithie in one of your classes. But she's not. She's not just a peer, she's not just a classmate. You will never ask to borrow her notes, you will never actually listen to what she says without snickering in your head.

Letter from the Editor

Wheaton Wire, Wheaton College, MA

Judging from the last couple of weeks, one would think that Wheaton is a school of felons. The number of arrests occurring, throughout this entire year, in particular this semester, have been off the charts. And it's only March. What is going on?

In reality, I do not think the students are getting more rambunctious or activities are of a more felonious nature.
