Editorial: Closing Time

Sometimes it's the little details that count the most. There is a growing and disturbing trend among various small services on campus to close early.



Unnoticed crimes

Do you remember Nazi Germany? Maybe we weren't there, but the disturbing pictures of Hitler, gas chambers and skeletal figures behind barbed wire fences still resonate in the recesses of our minds as a warning never to tolerate genocide again.



International custody battle unnecessarily prolonged

In an article released the Friday before Immigration and Naturali-zation Service agents removed Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Cuban relatives in Miami, The Economist eerily predicted that "it is hard to see how matters can be resolved without violence."



Overcrowded Dining Commons

To the Editor:

This letter is in regards to the dining situation at the Caf, specifically the excessive number of people not from the College who have been eating there lately. Contrary to the column that ran two weeks ago, I do mind the fact that there are constantly middle school kids taking up the tables and places in line.



Vote of confidence, support

To the Editor:

As I have made my way around our picturesque campus during this past week, I have heard a lot of interesting things being said about our Student Assembly President Laura Keehner and the recent happenings in the Executive Council.



Continuation of 'ugly' debate

To the Editor:

The following is in response to "Satire taken too seriously" and "Appreciating sense of humor." Both pieces were published in the April 21 edition of The Flat Hat.



Jewish students accommodated

To the Editor:

This letter has been written on behalf of the Balfour Hillel Executive Board and represents a giant expression of gratitude to those persons on campus who have gone above and beyond to support the needs of our humble but growing Jewish community. This year we have made a giant leap in our attempt to create a more supportive, nurturing environment for Jewish life at the College.



Praising Aramark's service

To the Editor:

As a senior who has withstood College food for four years, I can safely say that Aramark has done a tremendous job since they took over. Having experienced the job done by Marriott during my freshman and sophomore years, with their low standards, dirty dishes and bugs in the spaghetti, I have nothing but praise for Aramark's improvements and changes.



Let's stop and smell the roses

To the Editor:

These are supposed to be the best years of our lives, but sometimes this place gets even the best of us pretty down. Between those Williamsburg rainy days and cramming all night for those tricky government exams, it's often hard to keep a smile on your face.



Self-determination and 24-hour key card access don't jive

"Self-determination" is a word that's been beaten into the heads of every College student. From the time wešre freshmen to the time we leave, the Administration and Residence Life pound the term into our heads, deifying it only slightly less than the honor code.
