Dear Sue:
I’ve been in a relationship for 3 years, and I’ve noticed that all of my friends who have been in relationships that long are getting engaged or married. I’m only 21 and have no desire to get married yet. In fact, the idea of getting married at such a young age is kind [...]

Continue Reading →Dear Dr. P: “What do you make of our preoccupation about nipples?”
The reason we are mammals, as opposed to birds or amphibians, is because we as a species possess in both sexes mammary glands and nipples.
In the female they function both as primary erogenous zones and as the source of sustenance for [...]

Gee, why do you ask?

To the Editor of Brackety-Ack

I am the secretary/treasurer of the Hope Fund, which began sponsoring Palestinian students at Roanoke College in August 2001. Our students do well [...]

Due to a miscommunication the article appeared to be a personal letter from myself instead of a political statement from College Republicans. For that reason and because of my position within College [...]

In particular this letter suggested that by flying the flag the College had endorsed a “specific political cause” and recognized “Palestine as a nation”.
The College flies these flags to recognize [...]
Continue Reading →I would just like to say to the College Republicans of Roanoke College that your response to the Palestinian flag being flown on the flagpole is plain ignorant. I say this mainly because there are a few Palestinian students that attend this school. For one thing, this is not Roanoke College violating “political neutrality.” Roanoke [...]
