...page 26 of the Ad Board user's guide, the disciplinary cases by type and action are enumerated. The "types" listed are broad to say the least. According to the chart, a student can be required to withdraw for "inappropriate social behavior." Apparently this is the rubric my "crime" falls under. But who is to define what is "socially acceptable behavior"? Where and how are the boundaries drawn for what is "socially acceptable"? De facto, the Administration retains the right to punish anyone as it sees fit. The Administration makes great use of its power to punish students for "inappropriate...
Another school of critics claims that growing media concentration has caused journalism to lose much of its aggressiveness and credibility. The Nation magazine last June devoted a special issue to media conglomerates, including a chart detailing the tentacles of four dominant companies: General Electric (owner of NBC), Walt Disney Co. (ABC), Time Warner (CNN) and Westinghouse (CBS). Americans may be tuning out the news, the magazine speculated, "because they don't trust its homogenized premise of objectivity, especially when Disneyized, Murdochized, Oprahized and Hard Copyized." Though these corporate ownerships are becoming more apparent (Good Morning America travels to Disney World...

The same is true for the music, TV shows and other productions of the far-flung divisions of Time Warner. If any readers or watchdog groups discern a pattern of dishonest judgments, they can (and should) flail...
While other bands look to produce chart-topping singles, Counting Crows has a different approach. As with its last album, the band doesn't plan to release any songs from Recovering the Satellites as commercial singles in the U.S., although it will do so in the less frenzied European market. The embargo here is Duritz's way of keeping the radio play of his songs to a minimum; he feels Macarena-style overexposure of songs "ruins" bands and that the focus should be on the album as a whole. Moreover, it avoids tempting the fates or risking a backlash...
