As students, we have vested interests in the future of Hamline. This university will figure prominently in all of our resumés after we leave. As alumni, we may chose to donate, even after spending a four-year total often topping $100,000. Now and after we graduate, we remain connected to this school; its reputation will continue to affect us.
For nearly a year now, our campus has been without daily deliveries of The New York Times and we are the poorer for it. Even though campus abounds with Wi-Fi access and seemingly every student owns a laptop (and can therefore obtain the news online at will), there is no better way of ensuring our student body is informed than by providing each and every student with a free copy of a national newspaper.
Dear Editor, Hamline students from various organizations have formed a non-partisan steering committee to organize a forum for Minnesota's gubernatorial candidates. Youth voters (ages 18-24) make up 30 percent of the voting population in Minnesota. We can sway an entire election, and we need to let candidates know that we're paying attention to the debate.
Dear Editor, Zach Psick presents once again in his column his belief that Hamline professors are basically liberal partisan hacks. This is the second or third time this year Hamline students have had the opportunity to read this argument, which Psick has conveniently regurgitated for us in the piece.
Last week I was invited to join a Facebook group created by Hamline graduate Jordan Dibb called, "I Walk for Love." Beginning March 27, Dibb will leave Minneapolis on foot, planning to walk 1800 miles to Miami in 100 days to raise money for Haiti. He has partnered with Action Against Hunger and hopes to raise $100,000 by the end of his walk.
