...became a U.S. citizen in 1968, and I believe that voting is the most important part of citizenship. I am amazed that the system was so disorganized?flawed voter lists, machines that have no verifiable paper trail and different election rules in different states. Compared with many other countries, the U.S. is still in the Stone Age. We need to develop national election standards. Our votes can push national and local issues in widely disparate directions. But if you did not vote, you have no right to complain. Peter Jenkins Eagle River...

...HUDS with an inaccurate assessment. First, we see a strong likelihood of sample bias. The survey, which was conducted online in mid-October, received its highest response rate from Quincy House, with 59.8 percent of student residents participating. And, while Quincy residents should certainly be applauded for their high voter turnout, there’s good reason to believe it wasn’t Quincy’s delectable victuals that inspired such survey enthusiasm. More likely, the House’s (long-awaited) dining hall redesign, whose chic interior mocks that of, say, Dunster or Mather, might have played...
