Despite open letters to Hopkins protesting Jerry Springer's appearance on Wednesday's bill for the 2011 MSE Symposium Lecture Series, the politician-turned-entertainer was a confident, firm and often witty presence on stage.
It's that time of year again. Leaves are changing colors, the temperature is cooling down and Fall Fest is here. This year, Fall Fest runs from Thursday, Sept. 22 through Sunday, Sept. 25.
In the past, the MSE Symposium has been one of our most respected organizations, bringing us such speakers as Maya Angelou, President Gerald Ford, Noam Chomsky and Nelson Mandela. The Symposium has done a great service to the school and helped Hopkins students not only to seek knowledge outside of our academic curricula, but also to learn from people we might otherwise never have heard.
Vaccines are one of the greatest medical miracles achieved in history. They prevent us from contracting diseases that used to be death sentences. In fact, pediatric immunizations themselves are responsible for preventing three million deaths per year. One would think that people would be grateful for the chance to live, and would trust their doctors when they strongly encourage vaccination. However, this is not the case, due to the unnecessarily large amount of publicity concerning the "harmful" effects of vaccination.
This past Thursday the Brooklyn-born band NewVillager made an appearance at the Metro Gallery.
The turnstile in McCoy Hall has been inoperative for a month. As the only way into the dormitory, the turnstile is the first and most important safety barrier for students living in the building. It is the only security feature that truly prevents unauthorized individuals from entering, as people can easily tailgate in through the JCard-locked doors to the elevators.
In an effort to explore the indigenous arts scene on campus, The News-Letter has decided to profile the previously unexamined student artists who have successfully showcased their works in the D.C.-metro area. "Portrait of an Artist" will spotlight students who have contributed to the Hopkins arts scene. The piece will be written by the student him-or-herself in order to preserve the artistic integrity of the work as well as to highlight the artistic process.
Maryland may be all about crab cakes, but Baltimore is about the Berger cookie.
SlutWalk, the international movement to reclaim the word "slut" through women marching in provocative clothing, came to Baltimore last weekend. The walk aims to combat the misogynist view that women who are dressed in a certain way deserve unwanted male attention (which at best is unnecessary and at worst can result in sexual attacks).
The Hopkins water polo team had a bittersweet weekend at the 2011 North-South Crossover at the U.S. Naval Academy this Saturday. The Blue Jays fell to the Brown Bears in a difficult match in the morning, 10-6, but in the afternoon beat Iona for the third time this season, 15-11.
The Collegetown Shuttle recently added a stop near Morgan State University for the 2011-2012 academic year. The new stop is located in front of the McKeldin Center on East Cold Spring Lane and on Hillen Road at Morgan State University.
Crowding Baltimore's Inner Harbor, roughly 200 to 250 people gathered to raise awareness about sexual assault and victimization. Last Saturday, Sept. 17, Hollaback Bmore! hosted the rally entitled SlutWalk Baltimore, a movement dedicated to fighting against street harassment.
Hopkins President Ronald Daniels spoke at the Carey Business School's "Leaders and Legends" Lecture Series this past Tuesday.
I'll be the first to admit it: I love food.
The other day I tried a new meal: roasted red stuffed peppers with onions, sausage and rice.
What's cheaper and more exciting than backpacking through Europe?
Arts and crafts hold a place at Hopkins—not in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, but in Art Brigade!, a community service organization on campus.
As the Friday launch date for the Palestinian statehood bid at the UN nears, the Obama administration fired a last minute salvo hoping to dissuade Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, from considering the bid. Senior U.S. officials nervously shuffled along the halls of Ramallah seeking to stall the Palestinian's latest diplomatic offensive. Obama himself is scheduled to meet the president of the Palestinian Authority later on Wednesday to persuade Abbas to change his mind.
On my first day of classes at Hopkins, I came to the library hoping to enjoy the newspaper as I do at home (leisurely, with a printed version). But when I saw the two racks that house the newspaper supply at Hopkins, I realized that to leisurely enjoy The New York Times was to monopolize its one copy.
The Hopkins Blue Jay football team entered this weekend's Centennial Conference match-up riding an eight-game win streak dating back to last season, including two dominating performances to begin the 2011 campaign.
