Vox Clamantis

By Charlotte Johnson | April 9, 2012

To the Editor: Your recent article on "Talk It Out" provided much deserved attention to an issue and an event of great importance to the Dartmouth community and to me ("Students shed light on homophobia," April 9). I regret that my need to leave early detracted from the event, which focused on the experiences of several students who courageously told their stories. \nDo not equate my departure for lack of support for the LGBT community.

Now I'm discombobulated, yes I am, yes indeed Disgruntled and doleful and fully displeased For alas, this new name is just like a thneed It's fancy and flashy, but it's not what we need.
