Students and administrators reacted to a series of racially-charged incidents Fall term, a fervor that took place while key leadership positions in the College's two primary diversity groups -- the Office of Pluralism and Leadership and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity -- remained vacant. Controversies, such as a Dartmouth Review cover depicting an Indian holding a scalp, attracted national media attention and elicited strong responses from administrators and campus leaders.

"If we can't be self-reflective here, where can we be?"

While anecdotal evidence and exit surveys report accurate high levels of student satisfaction with the Dartmouth experience, a sudden and vast College leadership void has affected many areas of campus. Though search committees are in place for many of the several administrative vacancies, a lack of leadership has exacerbated the usual student-administrative divide on campus.

Andreadis said that one of the Assembly's greatest accomplishments thus far has been the increased diversity of its membership.

In our Dartmouth community, which puts a very high premium on pluralism, we should also tolerate and seek to understand a diverse range of opinions on the nature of diversity. A point that too often gets lost in the larger debates about mascots, affirmative action and the like is that there is more than one conception of diversity, and not all of them are positive. In the quest to achieve an optimal learning environment, we sometimes counterproductively limit the meaning of diversity to certain racial groups and skin colors.

It's that time of the week again. Yes, they're still letting me write a weekly column, so sorry to disappoint all of the Tim Kidera proponents out there who support his disappointingly weak ad hominem attacks. What's that? It's Tom Kidera, not Tim? Oh well. I think I've given him enough ink already, so I'll just leave little Timmy alone and let him make more hard-guy blunt references.

Dartmouth's situation is unique among the schools of the Ivy League in that we lack a coherent mascot. Yale has "Handsome Dan" the bulldog: short, ferocious, and horribly ugly. Columbia's teams are the Lions, which, for some strange reason, are blue. Princeton has the Tigers, which works well with their school colors: orange and black. The University of Pennsylvania has the Quakers, which I would imagine is an odd name for the football, hockey and wrestling teams considering the Quakers' commitment to non-violence. Brown tastefully chose the Bears after the logistics involved ruled out their first choice, the Protesting Anarchists. Cornell, like Dartmouth, lacks an official mascot, but they all seem partial to "Snuggles," the fabric-softener teddy bear from the TV commercials (they renamed it "Touchdown"). Their nickname is "Big Red," which is also the name of a cheap chewing gum you often find stuck to the floor of a movie theater. Harvard's nickname is "Crimson" and their mascot is John Harvard, both of which are very, very stupid.

Dartmouth is a school that prides itself on its commitment to diversity. We have a relatively high percentage of minority students. We have affinity houses, strong academic programs in areas like African-American and Latino studies, and recruiters who seek to bring the brightest minority students to Dartmouth. We even have an entire administrative branch -- the Office of Pluralism and Leadership -- devoted to fostering mutual respect and understanding on campus. All of these attributes reinforce the fact that Dartmouth is a school where minority students can feel welcome and accepted among their peers.

Today is the second and final day of the American Red Cross' once-a-term blood drive in Alumni Hall in the Hopkins Center. This year's goal is to collect 200 donations each day, a number in line with the amount collected in previous terms, despite a recent declining trend in total donations during the Spring and Summer terms of 2006.

Once upon a time, I was "that girl." You know that girl who I'm referring to -- that girl who thought being girly was for girly-girls? That was me. When I was a kid, I oiled my baseball mitt every night, then I put it under my pillow, said my prayers (to The Bambino) and went to bed. I stored all of my Topps collectors' cards in air-tight plastic sleeves and would never trade a mint condition Bo Jackson for a bent Ken Griffey Jr. in a million years. I played H.O.R.S.E. at recess and wore my unwashed, inside-out, backwards Dennis Rodman jersey to school every day there was a Bulls game. I was hailed by my teammates for making the biggest hockey tape ball in the history of the Gold Mites, and I had a trophy shelf full of glittering bronze. Sports were my life.

Just because a real-life concept seems a bit unappealing does not mean one should not give its prolific, culture-changing fictional reenactment a chance. A prime example of this would be the 2006 B-movie Internet hype machine "Snakes on a Plane," which made its snake-tacular Dartmouth debut in Spaulding Auditorium this Saturday to a theatre packed with no fewer than 199 screaming, cheering, hollering students.
