Activist advocates for racial awareness

by

Mead Chapel was sparsely populated at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 18. The meager audience, however, was treated to a striking address by the Reverend William G. Sinkford. Sinkford, the keynote speaker for this week’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration, was the seventh president — and first African American leader — of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.

Student explores e-dating scene

by

We have all seen the commercials: a couple framed in black and white and walking down the street in the rain, a smiling pair jogging through the suburbs, a slightly awkward but endearing dinner date. Online dating: is it as magical and effective as our television screens make it out to be?

The L-Word – 1/21/10

by

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how other people perceive sex. Perhaps naïvely, I assumed that people with shameful or other negative feelings about physical intimacy simply avoided it, but sexual satisfaction is a need that must be met somehow, and I do know that it is all too easy to give in to desire.

With Winter Term nearly half-way through, and so many evenings left to enjoy and mornings to power through before heading to the slopes and warm fire-side beverages that come with another all-too-early nightfall, there is a lot left to do before the chaos of spring semester wakes us up from our late breakfasts and three-hour dinner comas.

Welcome back for Yay-term! Personal story time: the Sunday night before the last week of class, my dear significant other and I were relieving a little academic stress in the classic cowgirl position, and I misjudged the distance from my head to the wall behind his bed, seriously slamming my skull into it.

As international student Chris Lam ’10 recounted, “Director of International Student Services Kathy Foley Giorgio once said, ‘we don’t have to go to the rest of the world because the students have brought the world to us.’”
