By Morgan Gage and Riya Misra

“The way that people view suicidal ideation is very interesting to me,” Gargi Samarth, a Brown College senior, said. “You tend to see the person who is dealing with them as less of a person, [like] they’re not as capable of understanding themselves, being self aware or as possessing rationality.”

By Ben Baker-Katz and Morgan Gage

Several changes were introduced to Beer Bike this year, largely at the urging of administrators, in hopes of a smoother, safer race.
