In two and a half weeks, over a thousand '97s plus a few assorted relics from classes of yore will walk up to that structure being built on the Green, receive our diplomas, shake the hand of the Finnish Prime Minister, and then venture out into the world. The day before that big event, we'll all gather together for Class Day on the Bema to fondly remember our Dartmouth experience, bond over our common memories and have one great collective laugh/cry.

This weekend, nearly 300 students, faculty and administrators from schools across the Northeast will gather at Dartmouth to discuss ways to counter racism and discrimination in higher education. These conversations will take place as part of a conference hosted by Dartmouth's Interracial Concerns Committee titled "The Challenges of Diversity: From Talkin' the Talk to Walkin' the Walk."

In "Confronting Reverse Racism" [The Dartmouth, May 6], Adam Siegel '98 points to Ward Connerly, the man spearheading the drive to abolish affirmative action programs in California, as an example of why these programs are no longer necessary. Echoing Connerly's own words, he argues that, because a few black men have overcome the odds to succeed, it is clear that all can if they only work hard enough.

Tonight hundreds of women and some men will march throughout the campus chanting and making noise as part of the annual Take Back the Night march. As they march, some will join them, some will watch and some will question why. I am writing this column to answer "why."

The petition by the Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance for queer housing appears to have reopened the debate on affinity housing in general. The column by Adam Siegel '98 ["On Segregated Housing," The Dartmouth, April 8, 1996] attacks both DRA's proposal, the Shabazz Hall and the Native American House as destructive to the intellectual integrity of this institution.

The House of Representatives continued the United States' lengthy history of punitive and racist immigration policies when it passed the "Immigration in the National Interest Act" last week. This bill takes drastic measures to reduce legal and illegal immigration and denies many basic services to documented and undocumented residents.

As most of you should know by now, in a flyer distributed last week, an anonymous group related a series of incidents that happened to me after I was quoted discussing Bob Dole's appearance at Alpha Delta fraternity earlier this term. The authors acknowledged that the piece was written without my permission. Subsequently, in The Dartmouth and in public forums, a number of students have denounced those who distributed the flyer as irresponsible for failing to inform me before publishing the story.

The New Hampshire primary is over. The candidates and the media have fled the state, and our airwaves will cease to be bombarded by ads for Republican candidates. I have to admit I'm disappointed it's finished. I truly enjoyed the more political atmosphere on the campus. I thought it was great that many of the candidates came up here, because their appearances sparked thought and discussion. It was wonderful to hear my classmates talking about various political topics over dinner and to read about national politics in The D.

In the wake of the rally and town meeting and the general campus furor over the recent racial attacks, I think the response has been generally positive. A number of students have demonstrated their outrage, the faculty has written a letter and the administration has been supportive. However, a couple types of remarks made during the discussion surrounding the incidents are disturbing.

Last week, flyers were distributed to all students living on campus urging them to show their disapproval of hatred and prejudice by placing the flyer on their door. On Friday, an ad with the same message and a list of the 14 co-sponsoring organizations ran in The Dartmouth. Among these organizations were four sororities, the Asian Pacific American Issues Forum, Aquinas House and the Women's Resource Center. Several days later, many people have not placed the flyers on their doors. Why is this?

This past weekend, the College paid tribute to a man and a movement that changed America. The Civil Rights movement and the many thousands of people who organized and participated in its protests, marches and demonstrations were instrumental in creating a second emancipation for African-Americans. The Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery, but it certainly did not end discrimination and racism against black people. Until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the majority of African-Americans were denied the most fundamental right of U.S. citizens, the ability to vote. The Civil Rights movement by no means secured equality of opportunity, but, through legislation attempting to ensure that blacks had equal access to housing, jobs and education, it brought the U.S. closer to that goal.
