Candidates sound off on poverty
Republican State Representative Danny Carroll and his Democratic opponent Eric Palmer have disagreeds about a lot of issues over the past two elections. But for one hour Tuesday night, everything came down to one issue-poverty.
Seven part-time positions to lose benefits in July
In 1991, Christine "Chris" Gaunt started working part time in Burling Library cataloguing. She only worked during the school year, and the job amounted to around 750 scheduled hours per year-well short of the 1,000 hour cutoff necessary for full benefits. After just three years on the job Gaunt's situation improved markedly. The college lowered its qualifications for benefits to around 700 hours, enabling Gaunt and others to receive health insurance, tuition remission and other components of Grinnell's generous benefits package.

I take comfort in the knowledge that many of my peers share my handicap, and we delight in each other's company, having bizarre non-linear discussions about lizard eye herpes and the like.
Letters to the Editor
An open letter from the S&B editors
Since Monday morning, our campus has been one person short, but we have been left with a hole that is much larger than just one person. We are all anxious, and we must deal both with Paul's disappearance and our reactions to it. The S&B is charged with documenting campus events, but at this moment, we are more than journalists covering events-we are scared and worried students grappling with uncertainty. We are all searching for the right words.
Defining the world in black and white
Bad news for the endangered Republican incumbent: over two-thirds of Americans are displeased with current leadership of this country. With the elections only one month away, the kingpin himself, President Bush, is desperately trying to encourage support for his party's unpopular foreign policy.
