Opinion article raises questions, doubts and anger across campus

The campus has buzzed, protes-tors have marched, and classrooms have been filled with the same discussions since the publish-ing of last week’s Almanian editorial written by student photographer, Thad Hopkins (07). The majority of campus has read or, at least, heard of the editorial, but for those who missed last week’s edition of the Almanian, Hopkins described Dunning Memorial Chapel as a “cesspool of sin and blasphemy.” He argued that Rever-end Christine Vogel should not be permitted to preach, as she is a woman; he cited Bible verses to support his claim. Furthermore, he argued that the chapel should not allow homosexuals to preach from the pulpit—as happened during the college’s kick-off of Martin Luther King, Jr. week. The editorial also addressed the inappropriateness of certain Greek activities, such as Greek Week and Greek God, in the chapel.

There is a class at Alma College entitled, “Philosophy of Love and Sex,” which has allowed many students here to debate the morality of topics such as prostitu-tion, open marriages, and homosexuality. Under House Resolution 141, classes such as this would likely be outlawed at state universities.

Surprising success of Student Life Office Runouts regulations find mixed reactions

This time of year is always know for its parties around campus because of the sorority and fraternity recruitment of new members. These events, known as walk-outs and run-outs respectively have traditionally been cause for great excitement and celebration. However, due to the incidents during last year's run-outs including public intoxication, fighting and destruction of property, new rules have been put into place. After the events of last year the President and Dean of Students at the time demanded a change. The new policy is a result of a combined effort between the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and the Alma College Student Life Office.
