Connecticut College, broken down into numbers
Connecticut College has made it into the news again— but for nothing unusual, just our price. For the umpteenth time since entering Conn, it has made another annual list of the most expensive…
Editorial
I’ve begun to deflect questions about what I’m doing after graduation: I tell people that I plan to eat, which is true, and probably take a nap. After that, I imagine everything else…
Halfway There
The past nine issues have been scary. The server, where we keep the files of the Voice from the past fifteen years, has occasionally failed; our software has randomly quit, citing a “modal…
Trans*cending Gender
“Will you make sure to put the star after you type trans*?” Lamar Ok ’12 and Matty Burns ’13 are sitting behind me in the College Voice office. After throwing old copy…
“When are you gonna write about us?!”
I have two housemates. One is Carolyn, who has provided our 360 Mohegan home with crayons and Sesame Street coloring books; the other, Kerry, has an unnatural capacity for presidential facts and brings…
On College Relations
I spend most of my days in the same sweater, reading the College Voice archives. I relish seeing the font size shrink, the article lengths grow and the ever-changing masthead. I was revisiting…

There isn’t much space for an editorial this week, and I’m proud: partially because I get an extra two hours added back to my day, but mostly because the Letters to the Editor…

On What Comes Next
The last issue of the College Voice under Lilah went to bed at 3 AM—three hours after our yearlong goal of going to press by midnight, two hours before she submitted her first…
Distinction to be Made Between Honor Code and College Policy
After nearly a year of talks, the Judicial Board is undergoing change: namely, it is no longer J-Board. The changes stem from the school’s relationship with the Honor Code. “Our school is portrayed…
See Something, Say Something
This will be the last time I will refer to our campus as a “bubble” until we are engulfed in soapy solution or until SAC throws a foam party. I’ll use this final…
On Why We’re Here
Last week, when a Voice staff member was researching an article regarding Chris Bylone, former South Campus Area Coordinator for Residential Life, he approached the remaining professional staff to find some answers. Bylone’s…
On Being Number One
For the supposedly “apathetic” college students we are, my friends certainly “like” a lot: Facebook has recently showed me that about fifteen of them in the Connecticut College network have “liked” a recent…
