The Office of Enrollment Services recently recommended that the $8,000 a year merit-based Trustee Scholarship given to twenty students each semester be eliminated. Although the fate of the scholarship has yet to be determined, President Dan Weiss said the decision has less to do with the argument against merit-based awards than it does with a reallocation of funds to need-based scholarships.

Yonina: At birth, I was male. At this time, I still am operating under such appearances, as I only recently began the transition process, and not many people are aware of my situation yet.

If an Orthodox Jewish transsexual desires to transition, which will set him on a course of taking hormones and finally having SRS [Sex Reassignment Surgery], is this permitted per halakha? Are there any differences if this is MtF (male to female) or FtM (female to male) transitioning? What prohibitions, if any, does this course of action violate? Does pikuach nefesh [danger of life] play a role in determining the halakha? And assuming that someone goes forward with this surgery, rightly or wrongly, under halakha, is this person seen as being the sex which he was born, or the one he presents as and physically resembles? This is aside from the question of how Orthodox Jews ought to treat such a person on a whole.

To understand is not to condone.
Unfortunately, this is difficult for some to comprehend. Some prefer to operate under the assumption that all things are equal, and nuance does not exist. In their minds, to write about a topic is to legitimize it, to discuss something forbidden is suddenly to claim it is permitted.

Hezbollah ate my homework
At another school, I had a kid do his paper on Hezbollah, and he copied most of the paper from their web site. It was the Arabic, among other things, that gave it away. But when I busted him, I offered him the choice of being turned in to the dean or to Hezbollah.

As college students, we are taught to open our minds and consider different viewpoints and opinions before coming to a conclusion. But how can we be expected to make an educated decision about our vote, a decision that will potentially have a huge impact on our future and the future of our nation, without having access to both sides of the issues?

Archbold has been the official Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia since 1987, and his photo appears on Philly postcards and city cab maps to prove it.
