1. You spelled my name wrong.

2. Mac students don’t give a fuck about what college guides say about us. Please write something outrageously bad, demeaning, and lowly about our school and our student body. Please. We don’t want more crowded freshmen classes. If you need help in getting an inside scoop on the suicides, child molesters, and rapers at Mac, I’ll be glad to help.

3. Our school newspaper is called “The Mac Weekly”, not otherwise.

4. FYI, You didn’t attach a job description in the email.

Subject: Students of Color at Hamline protest unrepresentative curriculum and oppressive campus atmosphere

Forty students of color and allies at Hamline protested last thursday (March 3rd) at their Student Congress on the differential treatment given to the study of jewish and indian immigration in the sociology class “Racial and Cultural Minorities”, which fullfill’s Hamline’s cultural breadth requirement, and the ensuing charges that multiculturalism in academia is really “reverse discrimination”, and broke quorum by having Student Congress reps quit the meeting.

Subject: Re: Thoughts on International Symposium

Solidarity group,

I talked with Sheena Paul and Aaron Colhapp after sending out the email below, and we came to the understanding that 1) the actual content of the International Symposium is not under IC-MIO’s control, so thus the mismatch between title and presentation, and 2) the symposium is not intended to be a continuation of the conversations last year surrounding the name and purpose of the “Center for Global Citizenship”. The four speakers coming to Macalester to talk at the panel “What is a global citizen?” have not been instructed, nor are they aware of, the tensions at the campus of last fall around the center, although it is meant to provide a neutral perspective on related issues.
