Regarding 'Rethinking the game of the year' (Thursday, Nov. 17):
Thank you, for finally being the one to step up and publicly express the utter absurdity of our pathetic attempt to squirm our way into a Harvard-Yale rivalry that we really don't belong in. Big Three? More like a big mistake; everyone knows there's no emotional fulfillment in a three-way.
Harvard and Yale are the married couple, and Princeton is just that lonely, slutty girl they meet in a bar and bring home every now and then when they're bored with each other. Sure, we can pretend like they want us, but in reality, they'll use us if it amuses them, and beyond that, we're left yearning for anything more: a note, a phone call ... even awkward eye contact. The University of Pennsylvania, on the other hand, has a burning desire to be our committed rival. They'll do everything they possibly can to remind us of their presence, at the same time making outlandish and unfounded claims of superiority for us to laughably repudiate with ease. It's definitely time for us to change our ways and settle down with the school we belong with, allowing us to finally experience all the highs and lows (and chaotic fun) of a real college rivalry.

Olivia Ragan, Lauren Aung, and Madison LintonIt is important to cultivate in students interest in local and state level change, because it is the most direct way to give back to the New Jersey community that sustains the University.
