In Toni Morrison’s 1970 novel “The Bluest Eye,” the young black female protagonist, Pecola Breedlove, longs for a pair of blue eyes. She sees white features à la Shirley Temple as inherently more beautiful and valuable than hers. Pecola’s self-loathing is made all the more heartbreaking by her mother’s reminders that she is an ugly, unlovable child. The internalized racism and colorism portrayed in the novel are topics seldom discussed among people of color in the United States and abroad. Yet I have seen how these destructive sentiments permeate the fabric of American and Korean societies, and no doubt they affect many others as well.

Recent controversies surrounding Greek life, sexual assault, administration upheavals and most recently, declines in application numbers have spurred some to speculate that Dartmouth is, to put it lightly, at a crossroads — perhaps even a slump. Upon hearing about the 14 percent drop in regular decision applicants this January, many students voiced concerns that the value of their degree will drop. However, the College has been no stranger to controversy in past decades, many of which touched upon issues still relevant today. This raises the question: is Dartmouth’s current predicament indeed unprecedented? And if not, how has the College recovered from similar controversies?

Zan Song '16, a native of Shenzhen, hasn't been home since freshman fall, but her eyes still light up as she describes the savory dishes found in a Muslim district near her home. Her affinity for Chinese-Muslim food drew her to a diverse array of noodle soups, meat dumplings and sandwiches, among which a type of pork sandwich named "rou jia mo" stands out. A successful rou jia mo spread should have spotted exterior similar to leopard print. To complement the crisp, dry surface, the moist interior is infused with juice after the pork is placed on top of the bread. The meat also has to be extremely well-cooked in order to reach the ideal level of succulent tenderness.

This single episode of mortification (because trust me, there have been many more) is a gross exaggeration of my deficient public speaking skills, but the account reveals my dwindling confidence around Dartmouth's brilliant faculty members. From a classics professor my freshman year who employed an astonishing range of idiosyncratic, often incomprehensible lexicon, to my current English professor who never ceases to amaze me with his extremely insightful lectures, I have felt entirely overwhelmed by professors' prowess in their respective fields.

In the wake of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, several universities will review their security measures for sporting and other large-scale events, Inside Higher Ed reported. An announcement by the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday stating that there is no evidence that the bombings belong to a wider scheme may influence college officials' decisions on whether to implement concrete safety policy changes. Security at colleges nationwide will remain at normal levels because campuses are not currently hosting high-traffic events. The National Collegiate Athletic Association also issued a statement regarding its collaboration with host institutions and law enforcement to ensure adequate safety in Boston and throughout the country. At least a dozen college students in Boston are estimated to have been wounded in the bombings, and one Boston University graduate student was killed, according to Inside Higher Ed.

The film was born out of a meeting arranged by producer Doug Scott between Heineman and fashion designer Donna Karan.
