...spring of 1997, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles wrote me this in a fax: "I hope that in the coming years, the gender ratio in the College and on the faculty may in all fields approach unity...and that all admissions (to the College) and all appointments (to the Faculty) be gender blind." Two years later, women still comprise less than 50 percent of the student body, and the percentage of tenured women Faculty is still remarkably low at 13.4 percent, although up from 11.5 percent in 1997 and 9.6 percent...
However, this near-sighted approach neglects the very qualities of a "nebulous" conception of blocking. Each student's unique first-year experience produces an infinitely diverse array of personal bonds.

It is up to each individual student--through personal introspection and open dialogue--to determine the ideal blocking group.

Yet it's a much broader, less edgy approach than the company's Generation Next theme, whose message excluded much of the audience. The company has also launched a new beverage, Pepsi One, to keep hammering away at Diet Coke...
...John Cusack (Con Air, Grosse Pointe Blank) is Nick Falzone, an air traffic control freak who "pushes tin" at New York's Terminal Radar Approach Control center (TRACON). He directs planes coming into NYC airports, sings oldies when he's not rattling off instructions to airplane pilots and slurps coffee while directing planes to safe landings...
