As I was reading The Herald during the time of gun control controversy, a seemingly innocuous letter caught my eye. Evan Stern ’16 wrote in to express his approval of Andrew Powers’ ’15 column (“Common-sense gun control,” Feb. 4). Stern said he found The Herald’s coverage of gun control ...
Beginning April 1 — just in time for Spring Weekend and 4/20, coincidentally — possession of up to an ounce of cannabis will no longer be a misdemeanor in Rhode Island. Instead of receiving a year in jail and a $500 fine, offenders can expect to get no more than a $150 fine, akin to an expensive ...
In a recent Herald opinion column (“Fuerbacher ’14: Room and board: You don’t get what you pay for,” Feb. 20), Elizabeth Fuerbacher ’14 questions the necessity of forcing students to live in dorms and pay for Brown dining. Specifically, she calls dorms and dining plans “overpriced propaganda ...

What we really need is for The Herald to get rid of all of its normal content ...
I agree with some of the arguments my opponent has made. She stresses the need for pre-medical students to learn more about diagnostics to help with medical school. As far as training for continued schooling is concerned, I am in full support of pre-professionalism. This edification is fundamentally ...
I would like to start by saying that I do not oppose the idea of pre-professionalism. I think that it is critically important to train individuals for the "real world," whether this means careers in business, law, medicine or anything else. I staunchly believe, however, that Brown is not the place for ...
