After 25 years of ambiguity following the Supreme Court's 1978 Bakke decision, the nation on Monday received a new mandate on affirmative action. Quantitative bonuses based on race alone are unconstitutional, but such an identifier may still warrant a "plus" in university admissions. The Court's message is clear, but nothing radical. The academic and legal worlds had known for years that point systems like the University of Michigan's were indefensible. But even now, the crux of the issue -- the persisting social inequalities present in American society -- continues to go unaddressed. While points have been declared passe, the road has been paved for other, equally impotent systems to take their place. Perhaps now, "holistic consideration" of the individual will prevail, but this just dodges the problem. The infrastructure is broken: too many of those who benefit are not poor, underrepresented minorities from broken homes and struggling schools. Instead, they are victims of another sort -- furthering the university's larger goal of creating what they see as academic utopia, one where sterile demographics count and not individual character and merit.

With Monday's Supreme Court rulings in the two cases against the University of Michigan, the use of race in higher education admissions received a much-anticipated statement of approval. Ruling 5 to 4 in favor of the Michigan Law School's program to achieve diversity, the Court in effect approved admissions systems based on individualized assessment of applicants, similar to those used at Dartmouth and at many other selective institutions across the country.

During Led Zeppelin's decade on top of the rock world from the late 1960s to the late 1970s, the group released some of the finest records in all of popular music. Yet it never released a live album that captured all the band's legendary on-stage power.

The recent 25th, 35th and 50th reunion classes brought heartening news to the Dartmouth community. The Classes of 1978, 1968 and 1953 broke records of donations set by previous gatherings. While this overture of alumni support breeds confidence about the future of our College, it also serves us well to remember that generous alumni felt alarmed by the budgetary crisis which we have faced in the past year. The onus now lies with the administration to use this windfall to right some of the mistakes that have been made and to refocus Dartmouth's financial attention on the fundamentals of our College, an alma mater for which graduates have so vigorously proven their devotion.
