Tactics Employed by Campus Groups are Unjust
by Patrick Landers '12Opinion Writer
Since I matriculated last fall, Hamilton College has lived up to a quote I read once in a "coffee table" book, in which Henry Kissinger remarked, "University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."
It is an unfortunate state of affairs, but I think many Hamilton community members would agree with this assessment. Subjects like inequality, diversity and tolerance imply a certain amount of fervor since these issues are of vital importance for many community members. More...

Not Abroad, but "Off-Campus" Doesn't Cut It
by Brooke E. Rayder '11Features Contributor
After two weeks in New York City, I've realized the students of the Hamilton New York City Program are truly in the middle. We're not quite at Hamilton, we're not quite abroad, and we're not quite New Yorkers.
We take classes in the comfort of our own apartments on Wednesday mornings and Thursday nights. No normal 20-year-old college students could afford these apartments. The typical Hamilton student on campus can roll out of bed, trek outside and be in class in ten minutes. We hop in the elevator, rubbing elbows with swanky trust-fund babies and their tiny dogs, clutching our coffee mugs. But that coffee doesn't come from Commons. You can make your own or run to the closest Starbucks. Try the Commons 8:50 rush with 8 million people. More...

Green Week Highlights Environmental Living
Events include Farmers' Market, biology lecture, movie showing, campus-wide cleanup
by Ben Trachtman '12Science & Technology Editor
From Monday, Sept. 21 to Friday, Sept. 25, the Hamilton Environmental Action Group (HEAG) is hosting Green Week, a series of events and speakers to help increase environmental awareness at the College. "We've planned some neat events that we hope will interest people who would otherwise be uninterested in the green movement," said Nat Duncan '12, co-president of HEAG. "We plan on hosting more events throughout the year, so Green Week is sort of a kick-off to those events." Green Week has been a tradition for many years, going back farther than most students can remember. It grew out of HEAG's mission statement: "to inspire Hamilton to become a green campus—a campus that uses sustainable energy, recycles and is aware of its environmental impact." More...
Rugby Proves Worth As Division I Team
by Jonathan Fung '12Sports Writer
The women's rugby team has a tradition of proud victory. This year is no exception. The women's rugby club shut out Ithaca College this past weekend, sending a message to other Division I rugby teams: we belong in Division I and we are here to stay. Sticking to its usual game plan, the team delivered quick punches to the forwards, got it out to the back line and ran circles around Ithaca. More...
