This was supposed to be the ideal opening weekend of ECAC hockey for Dartmouth. Facing two of the lackluster programs in the league, the Big Green were looking to build on an impressive opening season victory over Army. But as Union and RPI proved, no games can be taken for granted in this gritty league where every game counts -- especially on the home ice.
Old age and experience won out yesterday afternoon, as the women's soccer team dismantled a young Columbia Lions team 2-0 at Chase Field.
The Big Green couldn't have dreamed of a better execution of their game plan against Columbia. They went in knowing they needed to balance their offense, play strong run defense, control the clock and not turn the ball over.

I'm writing in response to the many harsh things I have heard said against political correctness, a phrase I believe has been abused for too long on college campuses. Let me begin by addressing the concerns I have heard against the use of political correct terminology. One concern is that political correctness makes everything unnecessarily confusing and, as a result, it's hard to figure out what to say. A second concern I often hear is that it is not honest to make someone say something they don't really feel like saying. A third, which is closely related, has to do with the fact that political correctness violates or inhibits our freedom of speech. A fourth is the idea that it is not necessary to use politically correct terms because they don't change the meaning the speaker is trying to convey.

Reilly argues that contemplating the question "What is God?" is irrelevant and sacrilegious since human minds are incapable of completely understanding the complex and holy nature of God. He concludes that this theistic question exceeds its theism and erases humanity.

The influence that the vagaries of language have over our mental processes is immense, and potentially very dangerous. One of the more pernicious impulses we see today is the urge to classify and schematize all things under the sun. The perceived need for this extreme systematization, I believe, is the product mainly of the staggering degree to which all intellectual discourse has been remodeled along academic lines, since it is principally for study and research purposes that gross generalization and categorization become necessary.
