Focus Should Shift From Categorizing By Race

By Jean Saunders | April 18, 1996

To the Editor: This is in reference to Debbie Carbornaro '97's op-ed ["The Shades of Multicultural Crayons," April 17, 1996].. In the same breath, Carbornaro both calls for "[the day when] multiculturalism is no longer a separate category to be found in a campus committee" and bemoans the dismantling of affirmative action, citing the University of California's recent decision.

Lendvai's Development of Satire Asymmetrical and Hasty

By Jean Saunders | April 8, 1996

To the Editor: I realized my mistake yesterday concerning Robert Lendvai's article [April 3,] after reading John Strayer's rebuttal [April 4,] the following day. I can only point out that Lendvai's article is a poor example of the "classic slippery slope" that he must have intended and a perfect example of a straight and sudden drop. The last several paragraphs are, I assume, supposed to be the satirical revelation of his article. The extremist points Lendvai includes in his last comments are his entire argument; however, they are not mentioned anywhere in the previous paragraphs, thus making his attempt at satire asymmetrical and unparallel. Satire should be developed carefully throughout a piece, not hastily tacked onto the end.
