Politics and religion are the two topics one doesn't discuss in polite company. Right?
I felt a nervous twitch as the Saudi Arabian Airlines pilot announced that our flight had landed safely at King Abdul Aziz International Airport. I was in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, only 100 kilometers from the holiest city of Islam, Mecca, and the noblest of sanctuaries, the Ka'ba -- endearingly referred to by Muslims as the House of God. It is in the direction of the Ka'ba that Muslims all over the world offer prayers five times day.

In addition to the recent and potentially significant formation of the Greek Life Committee, the College has formed several new committees to attack issues rooted in both general campus life and the continuing evolution of the Student Life Initiative.
After a selection process that lasted several weeks, the 13 students who will sit on the Greek Life Committee have been chosen, and they are decidedly in favor of continuing the Greek system.
In these cynical times, we think we've seen it all. We've made it through the 1990s, in which popular media massaged us into thinking we were smart, jaded and sophisticated, and in the '00s, we're even above that 20th-century sophistication. After over 100 years of movies, it can seem that there's little room for innovation remaining in the world of cinema, especially after taking in this year's crop of films.

To the Editor:
About 45 minutes after the conclusion of the second presidential debate between Al Gore and George W. Bush, I found myself in my room watching the post-debate spin and discussion on CNN. Bernard Shaw posed a question to highly respected CNN conservative commentator Robert Novak, asking him for his opinion on who performed better in the lengthy foreign policy discussion. Novak's response: "I don't think the American people care all that much about the issue of foreign policy right now." Less than 12 hours later a bomb exploded on the other side of the planet that killed at least 17 American sailors aboard the U.S.S. Cole, a United States Navy ship that was refueling in a port of the Arab nation of Yemen. At the same time a Palestinian mob was murdering two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah, a Palestinian-controlled city in Israel. The Israeli government retaliated by using helicopters to fire missiles into the heart of the West Bank town. Was this horrible string of events enough to make the American people care?
Me: Hello, and welcome to the first of the Hemant Joshi Debates. Our guests today are presidential candidates Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. Before we begin, please allow me to explain the rules of this debate. Let me remind you that both of you have agreed to these guidelines earlier. First, I am the only one who knows what questions will be asked -- I have made these questions up myself. Second, and most importantly, I get to answer the questions for you. Neither of you can say anything. OK, with that said, let's begin the debate.
What happened to the Student Life Initiative? What happened to greater student involvement in how decisions are made at this college?
Tolerate. To recognize and respect the rights, beliefs, practices, of others. To allow without prohibiting or opposing. To put up with or endure. Tolerance is the subject I've heard on just about everyone's top ten list lately. Everyone wants his or her beliefs to be tolerated.

Stepping through the door of the Rockefeller Center's Morrison Commons yesterday at first seemed like a journey back in time to an age when "dress down" did not apply to work days and when the United States was still saving the world from communism.
