Responses to 'Save the Boys'

By Assorted Readers | February 20, 2001

Maligning the Zantops

By Jim Zien | February 20, 2001

To the Editor: Was I reading the Boston Globe on Friday the 16th, or did the carrier mistakenly deposit a National Enquirer on the doorstep, with an anonymous story of sex and death in academe high above the fold?

The Hidden Menace

By Andrew Grossman | February 19, 2001

I write to applaud Senior Associate Dean of the College Dan Nelson's and his other committee members' new anti-hazing policy. Few on campus treat hazing with the gravity with which it must be met.

Don't Blame Victims
