I really dig how the author is using the sexual assualt thing for sensationalism in the editorial. Has nothing to do withthe story and is extraneous. Like how in journalism you arent suppose dto identify someones race unless it pertains to the story. Same thing here.

I wonder how many of the allegations of hazing, "hair bands, ramen noodles" the author has actually seen? Probably more of a "Well a friend of a friend told me" thing.

I agree with Krose - everyone at Dartmoth is exclusive- because of the 20% acceptance policy. As for the racil gap quoted in the ststisitcs given, a 14% discrepancy doesnt seem that big. I would be much more shocked and outraged had it been 70 or 80% difference. "and I remind them, and you, of the SLI data, that these organizations are significantly whiter than the rest of the Dartmouth campus." I simply disagree withthe author that 14% is significant. Come on, 14% of a hundred dollars, is $14 bucks and that wont even get you a CD. If youre gonna use stats, make sure they reflect your argument. <lifesaver announces to author, "um, you have a call on line one, its your academic advisor telling you to enroll in MAT 3233, Scope and Methods in Statistical Analysis.">


blah, blah, blah, same leftist crap we always get just repackaged. BTW, ya got some granola on your flannel shirt.
