Apathy is simply not the Hopkins standard after the events of 2003-2004. Hopkins students may be indifferent, but the winds are changing. Students are finally learning from their mistakes. At points during the year, some things looked vaguely familiar: Student Council (StuCo) was restructured, Student Activities Commission (SAC) was broke, Board of Elections (BoE) was volatile, and we ran and ran and ran StuCo elections again.

For many, there are no words. The tragedy of Christopher Elser's death has cast a shadow upon the Hopkins campus as students, family and friends struggle to remember him, faced with a tragedy that is incomprehensible.

When sophomore Asheesh Laroia had concerns about posting e-mails criticizing the security of the online voting system, he turned to the nation's leading export on Internet voting, less than a 10 minute's walk away in the Wyman Park Building. Avi Rubin, the national expert on electronic voting and technical director of Hopkins' Information Security Institute has become Hopkins most-oft quoted expert, with appearances on everything from The Today Show, CNN and NBC Nightly News and most recently, this month's Vanity Fair. "I get calls from reporters at least three, four times a day. And that's a slow day," said Rubin.

Student Council (StuCo) election procedures are not meant to be a hot topic. However, the recent decision to re-run the presidential elections is in keeping with the flurry of controversy that has marked the majority of elections in recent memory. Issues from last month's campaign alone range from unbased claims of negative campaigning to mud-slinging. For many students, this has called into question the basic operation of the Board of Elections (BoE) and its evolution over the past two years. The seven-member student board has been riddled with claims of bias, unfairness and lack of transparency.

Kumiki Gibson spent almost four years in the White House. As Hopkins' new general counsel, she now sits in a spacious office in Garland Hall. From associate counsel to former President Bill Clinton and counsel to former Vice President Al Gore, the young lawyer is now far from the throes of the fast-paced Washington life. But as the lawyer responsible for all the legal concerns of Hopkins' six institutions, she described her role as something much like the hectic pace of the White House.

Forget Iraq. The one policy that France has enacted in recent months, one that should be of greatest concern to every world citizen, has garnered the least attention in the United States. The French have accomplished what should have been yet another political embarrassment by banning religious symbols in schools, and yet it unfortunately has gone largely without any American uproar. This deprivation of basic civil rights is an affront to every citizen, religious or not.

Once a play that only a French major could love, the new production of Moli?re's The Miser at Center Stage is a refreshing combination of literature and lunacy. The antique play is as vivid and accessible as a soap opera -- rife with sex, intrigue, and a severe lack of family values, without losing sight of the wit and commentary Moli?re intended. Those expecting traditional French theater may be shocked, but not disappointed by the fresh, modernized comedy.

Only three months after arriving to Hopkins, Freshman Jared Ede has overturned the Student Council. How does it feel for the 18 year old Montanan? "It wasn't a feeling of "I've won the SuperBowl,' but one battle's over. Next," he said.

Howard Dean is hunched down in the passenger seat of his white minivan, talking on his cell phone. It's 11:15 a.m. on a Monday morning in Baltimore and the Democratic presidential candidate is waiting to come out to a small rally organized for his one and only campaign stop in Charm City. Approximately 200 supporters have been trickling in since 10:15 a.m. on this foggy morning, carrying royal blue signs and homemade banners. "IN BAWLMER, WE BLIEVE IN DEAN," [sic] one sign reads.

A mosaic of depression, obsession and passion, Sylvia is like one big Plath poem slapped on film. But after watching 100 minutes of over-dramatization, you realize that if Pllath had made films, they would have been both ineffective and boring. Her life drama is something best spun on the page, and that's where this movie should have stayed.

I had never seen Travis in person before, but by the end of their show last Thursday, I asked their lead singer, Fran Healy, to marry me. That's the kind of crazy love that ensues when you are both rocked and moved in the span of an evening. While best known for their peppy saccharine songs, Travis is a surprisingly deep band, and they gave the lucky few in the 9:30 club both an impressive rock performance and a sentimental sobfest. Fresh off the heels of their fourth album, Fran Healy, Andy Dunlop, Dougie Payne and Neil Primrose have grown up and possibly settled down, but they can still give a show that's something like an emotional rollercoaster.
