Racism fears limit discourse

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

In order to have constructive dialogue about race and diversity, the discussion must be inclusive, and the current discussion is anything but.

Like many other students, I was surprised to see a bevy of tents pitched on the lawn between Trimble and Wheelock last Monday morning. Cordoned off by rope and surrounded by signs, Amnesty International acted out a mock refugee camp for four days, conveniently disappearing Friday morning when Spring Family Weekend started.

Internet vs. scientology

I'm writing in response to Ms. Eyre's article "Light-hearted films should stand little chance for Oscar recognition." She makes it so that it's almost unfair to rebut her opinion, as it feels like arguing with a child about their belief in Santa Clause. However, the fact that she was paid for the publication of this piece, with all its bad reasoning, bad-taste, and bad sentence structure ("in the past movies like Shakespeare in Love have beaten Saving Private Ryan.

Real life misses old film glamour

Working on three hours of sleep and no caffeine, I found myself racing out of the library, stuffing the product of my procrastination under my shirt to protect the ink from the rain. In an effort to arrive in class only seven minutes late, I ignored good judgment and began to cut across the quad.

Seattle wowed by Cat Power

As I walked down First Avenue in Seattle toward the Showbox, I was not at all sure what to expect from Cat Power. It seems that all fans have stories concerning their life experiences with Chan (pronounced Shawn) Marshall, the real name of the talented, enigmatic woman who performs under the stage name Cat Power.

Long-time readers of my articles in The Trail will have noticed that I'm a fan of fantasy, science fiction and other nerdy pursuits.
