EDITOR,
I appreciate the concerns some independents present regarding the conformity the Greek system fosters on campus. However, I'd like to remind the substantial majority of the campus not affiliated...

While sipping wine and texting on their matching red blackberries, two sorority women confessed their plans to colonize Whitman. Apparently, Whitman has been violating international Greek law (not the country) and has entirely too many girls for Whitman's three sororities to handle.
“If the fire department ever saw how many girls we squeeze into our chapter room, shit would go down," said Kappa Kappa Gamma Recruitment Chair Sarah Deming.
Pan-Hellenic chair Rachel Wallace has decided to take the matter into her own hands, forming a committee to find sororities interested in starting a chapter at Whitman, a process she refers to as “colonizing."
“If they're interested in colonizing us they will send us sorority propaganda," said Wallace.

While I do support a change to alternative energy, and I myself have never been to Alaska, I am having difficulty seeing feasible options other than tapping our Northern oil sources.
The national deficit, courtesy of the previous administration, amounts to about an 11 trillion dollar deficit (US national deficit clock).
To generate funds for an alternative energy future, perhaps it is necessary for the United States to start exporting more products while importing fewer products.
One of the highly demanded products on the U.S. and worldwide market is sweet light crude oil. In this case, the U.S. has known reserves to mine which can generate funds for the push to alternative energy.

William Lawrence, in last week's column, was right to criticize the creative bankruptcy of Greek shirts lazily sporting co-opted corporate logos.
As a first-year I was baffled by a shirt that declared...
