In her article about the alleged police brutality on campus two months ago, Sheila Dugan was disappointed in the lack of calm, critical, and well-informed discussion about the incident. Discussions on race characterized by these attributes are indeed scarce. In part, this is because people still have different fundamental beliefs about race. Some still believe [...]

Dear Mr. Kennedy,
In the last issue of the Brown Spectator, I wrote a piece about you, titled “RFK, Jr.: Another Joke from the Kennedy Family.” I was even lucky enough to have my article make the front cover. And how fortuitous the placement of that article was, seeing as you gave the [...]

Energetic frat guys with signs demanding attention. Queer Alliance members trying to shield the lascivious activities from the outside world. And EMS teams on call to treat dangerously [...]

“Let us begin with a clock.”(pg. 1)
Thus commences the angst ridden report of the Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice, regarding the family clock of Admiral Esek Hopkins. His captaining of the slave voyage of the Sally overshadows to the point of nullity his service to the nation as the first commander of [...]

By the time this article goes to print, the Brown campus will be generally aware of the circumstances surrounding the suspension of Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). Our leadership team has run into many hurdles and roadblocks with the Brown administration over the past year, for reasons which are still unclear. In the fall [...]

From accusations of police brutality, and BUDS employees seeking increased wages and reduced hours, to gays demanding the restoration of their constitutionally protected blood-giving privileges, and the creation of gender-neutral bathrooms, this year has been one for the books. I have never seen so much protesting in all of my life. But as I recall, [...]

The Communists are back, and this time, they mean business – or rather, socially responsible, ecologically balanced, justly managed cooperatives. Yes, Brown’s Young Communist League has nothing but disdain for the current individualist order.

On the 25th of October, the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey issued their ruling on Mark Lewis and Dennis Winslow, et al. v. Gwendolyn L. Harris, etc., et al.

The conservative minded student should not shrink and run from SexPowerGod, condoms on dorm doors, sociology professors with socialist sympathies, or any of the other myriad idiosyncrasies of this liberal institution. He should embrace these experiences and the University that offers them as a proving ground for his dearest beliefs and convictions, discarding those [...]

Nobody would be surprised to learn that Brown University disallows its students to keep and bear arms. At any college today, and especially at progressive Ivy League institutions, it is assumed that firearms are vestiges of a time far different than our own, dangerous, and unnecessary—ultimately, they are abhorrent instruments of destruction and nothing [...]
