Recently the Student Government Association created a commission to review the Resident Student Fee (RSF). It is our belief that this is misguided, and outside the authority of SGA. This is a cynical power grab, filled with conflict of interest, aimed at a similar organization....

After Thursday, freshman Katherine Hopkins is going to be more aware when heading out for a night at the clubs. Though the cardio-pulminary major doesn't visit clubs very often, she does go occasionally and is noting the exit signs now that the recent tragedies of Chicago and...

Curtis Jackson, otherwise known as hip-hop star 50 Cent, begins a song on his first album, "Guess who's back?'' with this interlude: "Who do I have beef with? ANYBODY THAT CAN'T HELP ME MAKE MONEY!'' I know, I know ... you don't get it. The excerpt appears to be trivial,...

I partly agree with Kathleen Waterhouse's commentary on MBTA E line service ("Out in the cold," Feb. 12). The E line has for many years been slow and inefficient. One can look back to the 1979 Cauldron Yearbook to read an article complaining about the E Line and calling it the...
