What do you picture when you think of the word "diversity" as it relates to Dartmouth College? A pony-tailed Native American male and a Caucasian hermaphrodite with purple fingernails meeting for herbal tea in Sanborn? A Catholic mulatto lesbian and a Birkenstock-wearing Reformed Jew eating ham sandwiches on crunchy oat bread at Collis? Or better yet, a one-legged Southeast Asian-American from Greenwich, Ct. and a gay Black male from Harlem playing bongo drums on the Green?

How many times have you heard President Clinton justify a new public policy on the basis that it will help inner-city children and low-income minorities? Probably not as many times as you've heard Vice President Gore talk about the need to combat environmental injustices by punishing those industries that heartlessly expose politically powerless minorities and low-income families to toxic wastes.

The College bureaucrats are at it again -- spending our money on programs that have nothing to do with our education. And what's more troubling is that, as students, we weren't even invited to participate in the latest diversity-related program to be unveiled.

The time has finally arrived for our nation's federal judges to temporarily remove their black judicial robes in order to get fitted for their new white laboratory coats. A recent Justice Department report revealing "extremely serious and significant problems" in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory has confirmed that no longer can federal judges rely upon top governmental scientific experts to present valid and unbiased expert testimony in cases involving complex scientific and technology-based issues. As a result, judges must now, more than ever, be prepared to critically evaluate the scientific expert testimony proffered by both parties in criminal and civil trials.

In a recent interview by E/The Environmental Magazine, Paul Ehrlich, population control advocate and outspoken environmentalist stated that, "the one resource that we will never run out of is imbeciles ... the don't-worry, the-environment-is-in-great-shape, all-we-need-is-unconstrained-capitalism-and-everything-will-be-fine crowd." Not a surprising statement from a biologist who was also quoted in a 1980 Christian Science Monitor article as saying, "Economists are probably the most dangerous single profession on earth..."

The environment and racism. Aside from abortion, no two issues have consumed Americans more in the last several decades than saving trees and furry animals from greedy capitalists and ensuring that the individual liberties of all persons regardless of race, religion, gender and ethnicity are protected. Mention the two words together and you are bound to get strange looks from people who think that "environmental racism" has something to do with polar bears: discriminating against black bears. Well, it's almost as absurd.

Some students express their disappointment over a specific department's decision to deny tenure to their favorite professor. Other students throw a party for their favorite professor who was granted tenure and who will be at Dartmouth to teach their grandchildren in the Class of 2070.

For years the environmentalist doomsayers have echoed the line -- "What will we do when the pumps run dry?" -- in an attempt to scare the public into believing that we are facing an impending energy crisis and at current population and economic growth rates the earth will be sucked dry of its last drops of oil in the next 40 to 50 years. Although their oil forecasts are a bit radical, their assessment of our inefficient energy consumption is right on target.

In California's race to become the first state in the nation to abolish all state-sponsored affirmative action programs which give preferential treatment to minorities and women in areas of education, contracting, and hiring, a single man is leading the crusade against these unjust practices. Because of his skin color, he has become the latest black leader to bear the brunt of criticism from his own community.

Dartmouth College -- an institution which prides itself on high academic standards, exceptional students and distinguished faculty members, an institution which was recently awarded the number one rating in U.S. News and World Report's category for "Best Teaching," recognizing Dartmouth's faculty as exemplary -- will be saying good-bye to one of its finest members, Professor Jorge Hernandez-Martin of the Spanish department.
