A reader sent us a troubling email late this week relating two incidents of a Peeping Tom at her apartment window near the corner of San Jose and Mountain in South Claremont. She tells it: The first incident occurred on Thursday night last week at about 10:45 pm at the Village Apartments on San Jose and Mountain. A man stood starring at...

Many people focused on building their career view being in a romantic relationship as a time sink. Several entrepreneurs have told me that they don't have time for a relationship. To evaluate whether this is true, we need to look at the three possible relationship states pre-marriage.
1. In a Relationship. A relationship takes a lot of time. You may spend every weekend with your significant other and one or two days during the week. During much of that time you are 100% with the other person. Sometimes you are able to double book time by watching movies, buying groceries, washing dishes, etc. but mostly this is maybe 15-20 hours a week (sometimes much more) of time you'd otherwise have free. (Obviously the "maintenance level," as they say, of the significant other affects time commitment.)
2. Single and...

Over the summer, Forum creative manager Alex Mitchell traveled to South Africa to do a photojournalism project on the World Cup and its fans. He was accompanied by Aleksis Psychas ’10 and Moose Halpern ’10, as well as his high school friend, Kai Moreb. This article and others will be published in his coffee table book entitled The Light-Skinned Black Stars.
I first met the vuvuzela walking along the streets of Accra, Ghana. Often unwarned, the plastic horns boomed out relentlessly, hitting my ears from every direction. Like the unsynchronized car horns of Manhattan, they were only a minor disturbance in a loud city. I knew these horns would be plentiful in South Africa, but I didnâ...

Journalists, scientists and politicians often measure the Gulf Oil Spill by the number of barrels lost or gallons spilled. Unfortunately, it is rare that we speak of it in the terms of a human cost: if the oil was instead harvested it could support the average lifestyle of one million people. BP lost a small U.S. state worth of revenue a day by virtue of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. While a million Americans lost the potential energy usage of those barrels of nonrenewable energy. Obviously, it is a lose-lose situation for all. The greatest impact will nonetheless be felt by the Gulf Coast. Consequences associated with oil exploration and drilling have long plagued these states. People here may have become accustomed to these injustices, yet their patience is wearing thin.

It seems as if no matter how blue we are feeling, what with the City, State, and Country going to Hades in a handcar, the Claremont City Letter can always be counted on to lend a bit of upbeat cheer.
If you want to feel good about your City and yourself, nothing beats the City Letter.
Today's issue arrived in our mailbox and, well, it must be a slow news quarter because the whole front page is devoted to Construction On The Affordable Housing Project Set To Begin. That is exciting news.

By 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Orientation had come to a close, teary-eyed parents were long gone, and the freshmen finally finished setting up their bunks at Camp Claremont. Many of the new students found their little minds brimming with all of the sage advice that could possibly fit in a paper folder. Use the writing center, go to the Ath, try Pitzer lunch – but, hey, that’s just the obvious stuff. What about the things that don’t come in your orientation packet? Despite the best efforts of W.O.A.! Leaders and Sponsors, there are some crucial tidbits that still manage to fly under the radar....

Had I been elected as El Presidente, one of the first things I planned on doing was cutting the Yearbook's funding from ASCMC.
Think about it. In the age of Facebook, why do we need a year book and why, oh why, do we need to all pay for it?
I can understand the thinking for sentimental purposes, but then, sentimentality, good econ. majors that many of us are, has a price. People who want the yearbook should pay for it and leave the rest of us with our Facebook profiles. We'll do fine.
P.S.: Good job to whoever came up with the not-so-bright decision to have Andrew Bluebond be yearbook editor. That task requires someone who can keep to a timetable, something, he, as editor of The Port Side, utterly failed to do. We outpublished him every time.
