As a young man, Jason was sent to a juvenile detention center after several violent incidents involving gay bashing and racial intolerance. While in the detention center, Jason was roomed with a young gay male who was HIV positive. A friendship formed from what could have been a volatile situation. The experience changed the way Jason saw people that were different from him. After Jason was released, he tried to look up his new friend only to find that he had lost his battle with the disease. Jason has made it his life work to heal and help eliminate intolerance. Full post and comments below the fold.

Curtis >Subject: Upcoming interviews >To: (Recipient list suppressed) >Return-receipt-to: Sandra W. Curtis Dear Religion majors - Professor Ronald M. Green, Chair, Department of Religion, asked me to send a note to you inviting your involvement in the department's current search for a tenure-track faculty position. As of this date, the department has 7 short-listed candidates each of whom either have been or will be invited to visit the campus for an interview and presentation. Below* I append a note from Professor Green that is addressed to you, our Religion majors: **** Majors, This term,. the Religion Department will be interviewing seven candidates for a position in the history of the Christian traditions. This new appointment is to replace Prof. Stinson, who is retiring. This hiring decision is of great importance for the future of the Department. I am writing to ask you to commit to attending the presentations by as many of these candidiates as you are able. Presentations are scheduled for 105 Thornton at 4:00 PM on the day of the candidate's visit (see below for a listing of the confirmed dates and the candidates' names; other dates will be forwarded to you as soon as they are determined). We have asked each candidate to offer a lecture in a course like Religion 15, Introduction to the Christian Tradition (for a description of the course, see http://www.dartmouth.edu/~reg/courses/rel.html). It can be any lecture in that course, although the candidate is asked to make clear why s/he has chosen that lecture and how it relates to the themes and approaches of the course as a whole. Since this will be a lecture to and for students, your presence is especially important. At the close of the lecture, we will ask the candidiate to step out of this teaching role and reflect, with us, on what s/he has tried to accomplish for the students in the lecture. Once the whole series of lectures is over, I would very much appreciate receiving from you a brief evauation of each candidate from your perspective. A few lines or a paragraph for each candidiate will do. Would you please let Sandra Curtis, Department Administrator for Religion, know via blitz whether you can make a good number of these presentations? Thanks so much for your help to build the future of the study of religion at Dartmouth. Ronald M. Green, Chair **Here, below, is a list of five of the seven candidates who have been contacted and, to date, accepted our invitation for a campus interview. We are in the process of contacting, receiving confirmation from, and scheduling the additional two candidates; when the remaining three dates are finalized, we will forward the information to you for your further consideration. Here is the list to date: Christine Shephardson, Tuesday, January 21. Stephen Shoemaker, Monday, January 27. Charlotte Radler, Tuesday, February 4. Clarence Hardy, Thursday, February 6.

Posted by alex at 4:15 PM (0 comments) Left Coast LunacyThe Oakland, CA School Board held a "teach-in" on the impending war with Iraq, reports Fox News. The event seems to have been mandatory, as some parents criticized that it "[took] away from the curriculum." School Board Member Dan Siegal asked suggestively: "What is the role of oil in this dispute?" Also, they featured a presentation on Palestinian refugees and brought in a pro-Palestinian speaker. What this has to do with a war against Iraq is anyone's guess.One Oakland High senior noted that no one said anything in support of war. In his defense, Siegal noted that they could not find anyone in support of the war to present the other side, although they had invited President Bush and SoS Colin Powell. (They should have invited me.) Now, normally I would get in a huff about this. But frankly, I'd expect nothing less from Oakland. Just living there is indoctrination. UPDATE Here's an update from The Oakland Tribune that has a bit more candor. Here's the first sentence: Schools held 1960s-style teach-ins Tuesday against President Bush's possible war in Iraq, encouraging students to remember Martin Luther King Jr.'s message of nonviolence on his birthday today and urging them to march against war. I just don't know where to begin with what's wrong with this. But it goes on: Groups scheduled to speak included Veterans for Peace, the Black Radical Congress and the Middle East Children's Alliance. Indeed! Further: Still, the teach-ins were about education, not anti-war rhetoric, Siegel said. "Our teachers and our students here in Oakland are too smart to be victims of propaganda," he said. If Propaganda Minister Siegal says so, then it must be true! And here we have white, limosine liberal guilt in action: "It's Dr. King's birthday. Dr. King didn't die so we can take a three-day weekend and go skiing," Hodge said. Full post and comments below the fold.

Perhaps 1,000 fans made the trek from Hanover, and they were rewarded with an outstanding effort by sophomore netminder Dan Yacey, who stopped 34 of 35 Wildcat shots while making his first start of the season. Dartmouth's lone goal was scored by sophomore Nathan Szymanski, the first of his career. Both teams had numerous chances late in the third and in OT, but both goalies made spectacular saves to keep the game knotted at 1.Dartmouth (9-6-1, 5-4-0) finished its non-conference schedule with a 4-2-1 record. They return to action Saturday at Thompson Arena against Vermont. The game will likely sell-out, so students are encouraged to arrive before the first puck dropped to avoid having people with standing room only tickets confiscate the student sections as their own.

Posted by Ben at 12:55 AM (0 comments) Why WarAndrew, according to Rollo, Why War has been recognized by COSO, so they are an official student organization. Why they are under the "05" department is anyone's guess. As I understand it, they sailed through, as did the Dartmouth Israeli Public Awareness group, and some East European group (ask Rollo for the details; he attended). The Southern Society, however, remains unrecognized, but I expect them to go before COSO later this term.Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Alston B.

Posted by Emmett at 11:09 PM (0 comments) From the "In Case You Missed It" DepartmentAccording to a story last October in the Cornell Daily Sun, Cornell University -- "the other Ivy League school" -- is apparently considering having Health Services distribute vibrators to women on campus.Merits aside, this article is also a fine example of impartial collegiate reporting. One student, described as "less encouraging" about the proposal, commented: "Are they going to start selling Hustler too? ... It's not a necessity. If people really want one, they can go online." This student is certainly more understanding of womyn's issues than I am -- I simply let out one big "WTF" ... More hilarity: Sarah Jacobs, a student at Cornell and a particularly ardent defender of womyn at Cornell, commented, "I think one of the most important things is for women to be able to get themselves off." Indeed, Sarah. Indeed. Full post and comments below the fold.

This seems a bit suspicious. Is "Why War" an officially recognized student group? Is it some other college activity? Is it a student?

A company in Georgia called Collegiate Memorials is now creating coffins personalized with your alma mater's insignia. This picture, of a Duke casket, is just one of dozens on offer. (There's nothing for Dartmouth, but they probably wouldn't offer an "Indian" anyway, so what's the point...)
Apparently, the schools collect royalty fees of 8.5 percent to 10 percent for each casket, "in addition to annual licensing fees." Annual licensing fees, from now until the end of time -- that's a cash cow! Full post and comments below the fold.
