The pews were filled with an ample crowd from the Trinity community, including parents and students. 26808796-e83e-4b74-8726-ae7126e6812c Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Arts 5/01/08 Krystal Ramirez http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper520/thumbs/t_2ow56n99.jpg http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Arts/ Arts/Entertainment http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Arts/Bring.On.The.Popcorn.The.Best.To.Come.In.Summer.Movies-3359222.shtml Summer is traditionally a time for blockbuster movies. Last summer was particularly huge in the movie arena, full of "threequels" that were mostly panned critically but commercially huge. Summer 2008 looks to have quite a few gems as well. Speed Racer The Wachowski Brothers' (The Matrix trilogy) first writing and directing effort since 2003's The Matrix Revolutions, this movie's advertisements look amazing, colorful, and fun. 523a15cc-3deb-4868-9071-038b1ab37a71 Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Arts 5/01/08 James Kukstis http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper520/thumbs/t_e452fb26.jpg http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Arts/ Arts/Entertainment http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Arts/Girl-Talk.Creates.Revolutionary.Music.Energizes.Audience-3359228.shtml Planted in the middle of a stormy sea of millennials in the finest Urban Outfitters has to offer was I, your friendly Tripod News Editor.

Although Ron and I were students at around the same time, I did not get to know him well until I joined the Trinity faculty in 1972. During that time I have worked very closely with Dean Spencer and I often asked myself what would the College do without him? I can't think of a single person at Trinity whose instincts and educational values I respect more. 6ecee1b7-dae8-497f-ba26-b1c370e815ad Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Letters Opinions 5/01/08 http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/Alumna.Concerned.About.Security.On.Campus-3359660.shtml I am glad to see that the students at Trinity are continuing to push for an increase in campus security. As both an alum and a current parent, I've been extremely concerned about student safety. When I learned about the late March assault, I immediately tried to contact an acquaintance who is on the Board of Trustees. cff78e87-a43a-43f6-8017-5f55a8cb3cfc Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Letters Opinions 5/01/08 http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/Parent.Upset.By.Removal.Of.Greek.Life.Article-3359656.shtml I heard that there was some pretty vicious commentary on the original article [written by Whitney Duprey '09 in the April 15 issue of The Trinity Tripod] and the follow-up response article [written by Ryan Haney '10 and David-Kimball Stanley '9 in the April 22 issue of the Tripod]. 911b3e6e-536a-403d-8493-ba272a244f8c Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Letters Opinions 5/01/08 http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/Parent.Compliments.April.15.Issue.Of.The.Tripod-3359665.shtml What a great job Joe Tarzi '08 and the rest of the Tripod staff did with the April 15 edition. The front page captured the reader's attention immediately, as it should have since this is such a critically important topic. The accompanying editorial is well-written. 4c3db6b5-fc99-4f01-9289-2e468bc5495e Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT Letters Opinions 5/01/08 http://www.trinitytripod.com/news/2008/05/01/Letters/ Opinion/Editorial
