To the Editor:I write to the Brown Republicans in the hopes that they will more carefully consider how they represent themselves to the campus and greater community. Tableslips are one of the most direct ways to reach the student body. I was appalled this week when I saw a tableslip with a picture of ...
To the Editor:We were dismayed to see Mike Johnson '11 write on Friday that "the youth of this nation pat themselves on the back, sink back into the very apathy of which we're accused" ("The lost power of Barack Obama," Sept. 18). If he believes that youth activism is dead in the Age of Obama, he has ...

To the editor:In your editorial regarding the debate over seniority-based salaries ("Seniority and its discontents", Sept. 16), your recommendation that students at Brown involve themselves in programs to improve education in Providence and elsewhere is praiseworthy.

To the Editor: Regarding Tuesday's op-ed ("Rethinking citations," Sept. 15): Dan Davidson's '11 point about hyperlinked citations is a good one but in a sense moot, since most citation style sheets I'm familiar with would require you to use a URL for any online source you cite anyway. I would take ...
To the Editor:The story in the Brown Daily Herald concerning the work of the Organizational Review Committee ("Needing $30m more in cuts, U. to seek input," Sept. 11) provides a helpful and informative summary of the challenges that our committee will face in the coming year in identifying ways in which ...
To the Editor: The fact that administrators are opposed to the possibility of its students being taxed is surprising to me. As a recent graduate who lived off campus during my senior year, I find the position Brown has taken to the very idea of the tax woefully ironic.
Your recent article on H1N1 influenza ("U. preps for widespread H1N1 cases," Sept. 8), while informative, fails to discuss the flu's epidemiological aspects. First, the most serious danger is that H1N1 flu will mutate to a more virulent form, which could very well occur through interaction with the ...
To the Editor: I'd like to expand and clarify on a quote in the recent article on the Brown-Tougaloo Exchange ("Tougaloo exchange opens eyes, doors," Apr. 23). The article reads "The structure of the program, as well as disparities in the two schools' resources, mean 'there's not a lot of incentive ...

The editorial in Tuesday's Herald ("Another bump in the wall," April 21) incorrectly stated that Rhode Island teachers are not currently under contract. In fact, Providence teachers are not currently under contract.An article in last Thursday's Herald ("Staff hope for increased child care," April 16) ...
Earlier this month, The Herald published a letter signed by Philip Kloss '11 ("Transfers a valuable addition to Brown," April 10). Since its publication, the editors have learned that no student with that name is currently enrolled at Brown.
To the Editor:Members of the Student Labor Alliance appreciate The Herald's coverage of our presentation Tuesday to the BUCC. However, we would like to clarify a few facts.HEI Hospitality is NOT a union, as the article mistakenly states. HEI is a hotel management company which has taken steps to discourage ...
To the Editor:While the Corporation would likely benefit from the addition of younger members, it is precipitate to set any demographic requirements for candidates. The sole criterion for membership should be the likelihood that a candidate will contribute to the effectiveness of the Corporation. Diversity ...
To the Editor:While I applaud Nick Hagerty '10 for his continued focus on University issues, his most recent column ("Academic Inequality," April 13) has some poor proposals.
To the Editor: Tuesday's column, ("Student power for Palestine," Apr. 14) contains factually incorrect and vitriolic information. It claims, "Students at Hampshire College won a two-year campaign for their university to divest from Israel." This lie is propagated by anti-Israel students on Hampshire's ...
To the Editor:In response to Katherine Hermann's column ("First things first — learn how to recycle a bottle," Apr. 10): Anyone who says that Brown students are not excited about the small problems with sustainability does not know the right Brown students.
To the Editor:Anthony Staehelin ‘10 ("A rare experience… that more people should have," April 10, 2009) misses the point. As senior IR concentrators, we are puzzled by Staehelin's focus on the presumed lack of student interest in international conferences and summits. While Staehelin is ...
