Decreasing class sizes, improving teacher quality, and providing for poor and disadvantaged students are the priorities of the American public in this election year. Public opinion plays an important role in setting the legislative agenda and it follows that education is an extremely important issue for the men and women on Capitol Hill, as well as state legislatures throughout the country.

Communism is a good idea, just no one's done it." Those were the words I overheard in the Hop several weeks ago. The student making the statement was commenting about the exchange of letters in The Dartmouth over the visit of the American Communist Party Chair Sam Webb. His comment was a disdainful rebuke to Professor Jindrich Zapletal's criticism of Webb. These sorts of comments are commonplace on college campuses and the strongly held opinion of many of our generation. The understanding is that communism is a wonderful and sound theory that simply has never been put into proper practice. And indeed the student making the comment, said it with a certain level of condescension. He was suggesting that anyone who holds communism to be both bad in practice and in theory is utterly out of touch and confused.

I am writing to provide my perspective on the upcoming May 23rd talk by Yvette Schneider. Schneider will be addressing the question, "Can homosexuals change their orientation?" Yvette Schneider claims to have spent six years as a "practicing lesbian and homosexual rights advocate" before becoming a Christian and "exiting the homosexual lifestyle." She now speaks out against the "homosexual activist agenda" and reaches out to those still "trapped" in that lifestyle, according to the information on the so-called "Family Research Council" website.

Here it is: Nancy's Student Life Initiative -- an attempt to enhance the quality of living here at Dartmouth. Exactly 2,086 op-ed articles have been written by '03s complaining about Room Draw (one for each rising sophomore currently without housing), so I will not address this issue. Except, of course, to say that I will be living in the basement of South Fayers. Haha! Yay for sexual favors and a complete lack of morality!
