Kitty Corner: Eccentric ensembles, outre outfits: I am not what I wear
Last weekend, my friend invited me to go shopping with her. And though I readily agreed at the time, once I was faced with the flashy fluorescence of Forever 21, she noticed that, rather than rifling through the racks, I was instead blinking in bemusement and cataloguing exits and escape routes. “Aren’t you going to […]
COUNTERPOINT: To stop corruption scandals, strip universities of elitism
It would be fair to ask “How do we stop this from continually happening?” Short of finding a way to fundamentally transform human nature, I’m not sure it’s possible. Wherever there are great concentrations of wealth, power and prestige —whether in governments, corporations, universities, churches or other institutions — there will always be tantalizing opportunities […]

Devil’s Advocate
Few students on this campus have been fortunate enough to escape the classmate smitten with the sound of his or her own contrarianism — the devil’s advocate, as they often self-describe. We’ve all had the distinct displeasure of listening to them plead “not necessarily,” to the most basic of concepts, waiting around as they search […]
