To the Editor:As a faculty member with a long commute, I read with interest your recent article ("From afar, profs make the commute," March 11) on the subject.

To the Editor:A recent article ("First-pick contest causes controversy," March 8) mentioned the possibility that the competition will be discontinued. I strongly believe this is unnecessary. As one of this year's entrants, I write to suggest improvements for future years.
To the Editor:Sunday afternoon, as I was driving on Angell, a one-way street, a student in the middle of the block darted in front of me to cross. If I hadn't stopped quickly, I would have hit him.

In his column ("Understanding the odd story of gay rights in Africa," March 5), Dominic Mhiripiri '12 accuses supporters of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill of being patronizing, closed-minded carpetbaggers.

To the Editor:In his excellently written opinion piece ("What could Brown do for you?," Feb. 25), David Sheffield '11 does not share my holistic view of higher learning.
