Not many clubs or organizations here at Hopkins have the ability to clear a dance floor within seconds.

Recently, there has been an epidemic infringement of U.S. voter rights occurring in states across the country. Currently, 14 states have passed laws that require voters to have photo identification. And perhaps 20 more have similar laws under consideration. The Supreme Court has said that the right to vote is a fundamental right, and it is perhaps the most fundamental of all our rights. It is truly the foundation of democracy.
The Republican primary contest serves as just the latest reminder that the ideological habitat of the political moderate, perhaps the most endangered species in American politics, is quickly disappearing. With the Tea Party driving Romney, Perry and company in a stampede towards the starboard side of the right wing, and Nancy Pelosi clamoring in opposition of the President's job-creating package of free trade deals, one is hard-pressed to remember the last time moderation and compromise were tolerated, let alone celebrated in American politics.
In elementary school, I was taught that an election for public office is, ideally, the greatest emblem of a functioning democratic system – maybe not in that exact phrasing, but still, the sentiment's there. The consummate election, vis-à-vis the spirit of democracy, will neglect superficial appeals (read: popularity contest) and place the most competent and viable candidate in office. A successful election relies on the art of the campaign, through which a candidate can actively prove said competency and said viability, without the unfair disadvantage of inane restrictions thereof.
Dubstep is overtaking the music scene, reviving electronica and invading Baltimore. There is no better evidence than the sold out show that Skrillex, 12th Planet, Foreign Beggars and Nadastrom played last Wednesday at Rams Head as part of the Mothership Tour.
If you've seen any of the The Ides of March trailers, you'll know exactly what to expect. The film is a series of tight medium shots detailing the torso and above of famous actors frowning, swearing and just all around looking serious. It's a sordid exposé of the dark and grungy backroom deals behind American politics. It's clever, emotionally engaging and does nothing that we haven't seen before.

The Occupy Wall Street protests have spread to Baltimore. On Tuesday, hundreds of Baltimoreans gathered on the corner of Pratt and Light Streets in protest of corporate misbehavior and control of the political agenda. There were many Hopkins students among the protesters. Regardless of one's political views, the involvement of students in a political protest is to be commended. The protesters realized that their express political views were not being articulated, and they took action.
For two years in the early 1990s, the Kennedy Krieger Institute conducted a comprehensive study of the medical ramifications of lead paint in homes. It aimed to identify and remedy the hazards of a material then ubiquitous in lower-class Baltimore houses, according to the Institute's experiment records. The Institute is a Baltimore-based research facility for juvenile and adolescent developmental disabilities and a direct affiliate of Hopkins.
