...lasting than cartographical knowledge: a passionate hatred for the insipid, as embodied in the literature of Albom.For those fortunate enough to be unacquainted with his work, Albom has found a niche writing inspirational books that invariably involve a soul-searching protagonist grappling with death, either his own or someone else??s. Mix one part terminal illness with one part self-realization and you end up with three books on the New York Times Best Seller List.You know your friend who always has the sappy, poorly-worded quotes for her away messages?

The answer to the "problem" of female representation is not a problem that needs to be retroactively addressed by male members of the UC, as some candidates have suggested. This issue does not call for a position paper, legislation, or someone else??s presidential platform. It calls for people—not just men—on campus to acknowledge that sexism is not a vanished menace, but a real and subtle presence, and it demands women to speak up against displays of discrimination (as I did not, last year). Sexism...
