Former Connecticut legislator addresses campaign finance reform By Sam Siegel

On Monday evening, a packed crowd of over 50 students congregated in PAC 002 to hear former Connecticut Secretary of State Miles Rapoport speak on the issue of campaign finance reform. "I think that one of the biggest problems is our campaign finance system," Rapoport said. "It takes an incredible amount of money to run for most offices."

MPD is here to serve and protect
We would like commend the Student Unity Network and the students who participated in the in the police brutality protest on Oct. 22. The protest seemed to be well-organized, peaceful and successful. The protest, which aimed to raise awareness about police brutality and improve relations between the Middletown Police Department (MPD) and the University, seemed to accomplish its goals.

Ampersand

Stupidest Ampersand Ever
By Sara Morrison & Matt Sienkiewicz


Help Us Help Ourselves
All right, this is the stupidest Ampersand ever. Most weeks we strive for funniness. This week our aim is stupidity. Now we know this sounds easy, but coming up with this stuff was unexpectedly difficult. It’s also really hard to not use the word retarded but it’s offensive so you can’t say it.

For the Record
"I think the haircuts are better, but they should reinstate the all-campus blowout [40 kegs of beer in MoCon]
~Bill Mook ’75

Correction
In the acticle entitled "New professor incorporates ethics across curriculum" in the Oct. 20 issue of the Argus, Professor Lori Gruen’s class "Humans, Animals, and Nature" was incorrectly reffered to as "Man, Animals, and Nature." The Argus apologizes for this error.
