...plea for a Third world center is based upon a desire to improve race relations by making Black students students feel more comfortable and accepted at the College and the University threw Black students a bone..." By definition. "Third World" is supposed to include Asians. Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans, etc., If this letter is supposed to reflect "Third World" attitudes why do these groups go unmentioned. Many students have pointed out to the Foundation office that Asian American student activities are attended almost entirely by Asian Americans, Latino activities by Latinos, Indian activities by Indians, etc., Somehow the spirit of "Third...
...Gazette and the Independent) It is naive to think that such commonly used excuses are credible in this very observant intellectual community.

The illustrations needn't of course be singularly relevant; but they must be there. If Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete scattered through your bluebook will have you up for sainthood. Or at least Dean's List, Name at least the titles of every other book...
...action and numerical quotas for minorities to support for the Defunis and Bakke cases--court cases which in essence argued that persons with the highest scores on admissions and other standardized tests should be given first preference, irrespective of other factors such as background, personality, leadership ability, manners, hygiene, etc. As long as these individuals and special interest groups felt they had a monopoly on test scores, they pushed a "scores alone" policy, all other factors be damned. The rash adoption of this policy by all too eager educational institutions (and the vicious media manipulations of the subject) has seriously...
