...Kinder tells it in fascinating, exhaustive detail, including the following information: as part of the process of securing rights to a wreck, marine law requires that you file a lawsuit. Against whom--Neptune? Close; you sue the wreck itself. Just lower a lawyer in the submersible's claw, and res gestae, the loot is yours...
...Minnesotan, but the limited variation--a few maple-leaf reminscent phonetic twists and an assortment of pause formations--obviously means it won't pan out. '80s surfer lingo didn't last too long, nor can computerese. So, geeoun before the geeoun's through, and I think latinitata will res out. Nice...
...problems I've outlined above point us toward the need for an RES department at Harvard that includes (but is not necessarily limited to) programs in Asian American, Latino and Native American studies.

The fact that it is interdisciplinary makes it no less legitimate than social studies, women...
...race and ethnicity are to be treated seriously at Harvard, we cannot rely on existing departments. The record shows that with limited budgets, low personal commitments and lack of support from the administration, department heads will not prioritize ethnic studies. An RES department with its own faculty and physical space would provide the expertise and continuity students deserve, as well as create the community among faculty and students vital to academic exchange and learning.

If we are to learn anything from the Columbia University protests in April 1996, it is that the confrontational activism of the late 1960s is no longer effective. Rather, the development of RES will be a prolonged and often frustrating process of negotiation with the Faculty and administration. For the next few years, changes in Faculty hiring and the curriculum will be incremental and problematic at best. Students will have to demonstrate solidarity and consistent strong support for race and ethnic studies as a constant reminder to the administration...
