Homecoming. It’s a special time. Teary-eyed alumni are coming back to their old alma mater. Frat boys are even more drunk than usual. And freshmen are about to run many circles around a tower of flaming deadwood. Ah, traditions at Dartmouth.

Putting aside for now the rich commentary we could have on all of these festivities, we’ll be bringing you coverage of issues that you won’t find anytime soon in other campus publications or even many national publications. Next issue, we will debut the return of Untamed, the feminist publication at Dartmouth, as a section of the DFP. Our coverage of feminist issues will increase with this addition, and also help give more focus for our articles on feminism and society. It’s a trend that we’ve been following. Even this issue, we covered the recent talk by one of the most prominent feminist legal theorists alive, Catharine MacKinnon.

Now is a special time for many movements. The Franken Amendment is finally casting light on a part of the war effort that has been hidden for far too long. The National Equality March, even if mostly ineffectual, demonstrates the growing political significance
of the LGBT community in the American social landscape.

This is an exciting time, and with the changes at the DFP, we will continue to work to bring you coverage of these issues. Feel free to give us feedback on how things are going and what you want to see in this paper.
