...commend Bennett for shedding light on a little-known, crucial issue. It pains me that young girls are forced to find safe haven in jails and orphanages to escape sex trafficking, and I'm horrified that this just recently became a problem, following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. The lack of law and order in Iraq is enabling the exploitation of those poor girls. Morgan Wileyv Fairway, Kansas...

But in doing this, we myopically ignore the most beleaguered and varied population on our campus—Teaching Fellows. Or, as I like to call them, “TFs.”TFs come in many different forms, but they all have the same job: teaching a crap-load of thankless material to a room full of phenomenally annoying 18-year-olds.Some have come to terms with this fact and are extremely jolly in consequence...
