From the Daily: Moving out
Last week, University President Lee Bollinger announced plans to move the present administration out of the Fleming Administration Building and into the basement and first floor of the more accessible Angell Hall by the year 2000. This proposed move out of the Fleming Administration Building is indeed a good idea on the part of the president, which unlike some of his predecessors, is making a conscious effort to be closer and more accessible to students.
The wrong enemy
The death of LSA first-year student Courtney Cantor sent shock-waves through the University community, administrators and students were forced to try to make sense of the senseless tragedy. One response to this incident has been a focus on the perceived problem of underage drinking. As part of a general trend across the nation, Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford commissioned a binge drinking task force to target the problem of drinking among first-year students at the University.
Letters to the Editor
Conversations with the supplicants
As a nation, we've become transfixed by apologies. Leave it to us make things like contrition, penance and forgiveness into trend-oid commodities for CNBC hacks to trade on the ass end of the cable dial. We make our president apologize every three or four hours for a blowjob. We pretend that a penitent sound byte is more valuable than the parliamentary horse shit they're usually made of.
