Late last week, Peninsula hung posters around campus advertising a lecture we are sponsoring entitled, "Spade Kicks: A Symposium on Modernity and the Negro as a Paradigm of Sexual Liberation...
...that day -- take heart, George Bush -- British voters defied the pollsters' predictions and returned Conservative leader John Major to office by a small but respectable majority. Fears that the election would produce a hung Parliament in which no party commanded a majority proved unfounded: of the 651 seats, the Tories managed to hold 336 (down from 369); Labour took 271 (up from 229); and the Liberal Democrats stayed almost the same at 20, with the remainder going to smaller parties.

The Asian-American Association and Raza's condemnation of Jeffries were not an example of "admirable" relations between Blacks and Asians or between Blacks and Hispanics. And the recent anti-Asian slurs in Lamont and the bigoted phone calls to Asian-American students show that much...
