Matthew Ritger's recent article on rush ("The Gospel According to Matthew," Oct. 9) unleashed a flash flood of opposition. Our own dear columnist, Kevin Niparko '12, was particularly affronted ("Gospel According to Whom?" Oct. 14). Although Ritger expressed his views a tad outrageously, I think that this is always a necessary step in sparking discussion. When his views were attacked as though they were more than an attempt to wake people up, as though they represented an actual cry for bloodshed, I was intrigued. Why did so many frat-apologists bristle defensively? Perhaps it was because Ritger pointed out the fundamental social cruelties, the nasty substratum of sewage the exclusion, the hazing that make their fun possible.

Last month, a video of second graders singing songs in praise of President Obama at a school assembly found its way on to the Internet. Although the songs were performed over seven months ago, they have caused a great deal of controversy over the past couple of weeks. Last week, protesters surrounded the New Jersey elementary school, accusing administrators of indoctrination. This incident has escalated to the point where the school was temporarily placed on lockdown last week, after death threats were made against its principal.

SEATTLE The American health care system and the public's understanding of the health care reform effort are both deficient, according to Dartmouth Medical School professor Elliott Fisher, director of The Dartmouth Institute's Center for Health Policy Research. Fisher, in a speech here on Saturday, said he is still hopeful that the health care reform legislation being debated in Congress will prompt needed long-term changes to the U.S. health care system.

The site was originally launched in 2006, but later taken offline in October 2007 after Pappas said he tried to redirect posting to a newer version of the site that never became popular.

The problem with rush is that so many girls enter the process with their minds already made up and then drop out once their preconceived expectations are not met. But these expectations are often based on ignorance. Many women hold judgments about houses into which they have never set foot. For this reason, the Editorial Board suggests that round one of the current system be left in place, since it makes visits to every house mandatory. But one crowded, noisy, 45-minute visit is not enough to make up for a year's worth of "lack of open parties." Perhaps the sororities should make more efforts during the year to hold open events (which do not necessarily have to involve alcohol, in compliance with national rules) which would allow freshman women (and the rest of campus) to get a feel for the true character of their houses.

It was not the intention of the Panhellenic Council to create distress during this year's fall sorority recruitment process. We do believe, however, that an accurate representation of facts is necessary: of the 335 women who participated in this year's recruitment process, only one woman was released for lack of invitations.
