Students in film and media studies professor Jeffrey Ruoff's introductory videomaking class spent the winter producing a documentary about Ben Kilham, a local scientist and farmer from Lyme who is raising and studying 27 orphaned black bear cubs.

Rothfeld: An Untenable Paradigm

|

Last week, the Associated Press released an internal memo advising its journalistic staff to refer to members of same-sex marriages as "partners" or "couples" rather than "husbands" or "wives." Ensuing criticism from LGBTQ rights groups prompted the A.P.'s editorial board to issue a revisionary statement clarifying the publication's stance: the terms "husband" and "wife" may be used to describe same-sex spouses only when "those involved have regularly used those terms," reads the missive. The A.P.'s decree is more than an isolated or publication-specific guideline.

Rebel With a Cause

A grey SUV rolls slowly past you on Tuck Mall. Crap. You know with just a glance that it's Safety and Security, and you're not sure if the College permits making snow angels on the street. Safety and Security often seems omnipresent on this campus and often at the worst times but many students, myself included, don't know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes.
