Sex, Love and Liberalism

By Won Joon Choe | February 7, 1995

When Chris Kelly '96, suggests in his column "Lessons to Learn From 'Spanking The Monkey'" (Jan. 30) that there should be more explicit and widespread campus discourse about sex, he champions a central, and deplorable, aspect of modernity: the replacement of the idea of love with the reality of sex. Kelly is not the first to revolt against love in the name of sex.

Winter wolf being built

By Amanda Lawrence | February 7, 1995

Even though there now is enough snow to complete the traditional Winter Carnival sculpture on the center of the Green, there still is a chance the sculpture will not be completed. Patricia Bankowski '95, who is in charge of building this year's sculpture, said if enough students do not come out to help construct the sculpture, it will not be finished in time for Carnival. "I do have some concerns about the timing of the snow sculpture," she wrote in an electronic mail message.

The Right to Life at Any Age

By Kevin Walsh | February 6, 1995

During the elections of this past Novem ber, many deep changes took place, not only in who is in office and who is not, but also in the area of what is accepted and rejected by a majority of our society.

One of the most remarkable stories of the elections in November which has been deliberately ignored and played down is the overwhelming evidence they provided to demonstrate that the United States is turning against abortion.

Krauss: many languages could soon be extinct

By Michael Posey | February 6, 1995

Speaking to a standing-room only audience in the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences, University of Alaska Professor Michael Krauss said more than half of spoken languages in the world today are close to extinction, Krauss' speech on Friday was the keynote address for a weekend-long seminar called "Endangered Languages: Current Issues and Future Prospects," which brought scholars together from across the country to discuss the future of languages. Krauss said only about five percent of birds are endangered, but about "40 to 75 percent of mankind's languages are endangered." Also, human languages are declining even while human population is booming, he said. Krauss gave several reasons why languages and their dialects are on the decline. He said in communities where languages are fading out, about 39 percent of language is sustained by a group of elders and about 33 percent of the language speakers are only a handful of people. The diversification of dialects may be declining because of technological advances.
