Warning: Imported from old college This post was moved from an older website hosted on a college server. These have been unedited and contain many mistakes. But, whatever. Quick update on what has gone on: the 10th became a day of solidarity and the whole 5C community turned out… BUT- recently some new evidence has come to light that Professor Dunn vandalized her own car, and this news has shocked the community. President Gann has responded methodically (it’s as if she sees the future and knows exactly the right thing to say). My own response is two-fold: First, I think that we cannot jump to conclusions about the guilt of Professor Dunn. Of course, we cannot write this off as preposterous. Nevertheless, I feel that we should not jump to conclusions about the nature of the crime. We must remember that the two students who gave testimony also received $10,000 each as a reward for information. It seems highly unlikely that a professor with four degrees dedicated to teaching at the academy would risk her career. But, many people would have said the same thing about a hate crime occuring on the CMC campus. Second, if Professor Dunn is guilty, then I am deeply angered by her actions. She painted our campus in a very hateful light by her actions. She deserves to never teach here again if she is guilty. A community should never have to feel scared, threatened, and angered at a self-perpetrated hate crime. I must once again, assure all those reading this post, that CMC is not that type of community. The 5C response to the incident was especially noteworthy and truly distinguishable and shows to the true nature of our campus. On a lighter note, Spring Break is almost over. Okay, maybe not a lighter note. I must say that spending time at CMC is great. The weather is beautiful, the pool is open, and the library is open. I’ve been playing tennis almost everyday and watching a movie everyday. I finished reading the Da Vinci Code and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Both are quick reads, enjoyable for spring vacation. I ran to 21 Choices and used my CMC gift certificate for free yogurt. (You can clap anytime.) Since they’ve close almost all dining services, I have been exercising my cooking muscle: tomatoes and eggs, lemon-pepper chicken, potstickers, pasta, steak, and of course, my primary staple… rice. Yum. Now that Spring Break is almost over, I will be going back to work. Ah yes, California Politics midterm, Political Education Fellowship, Political Philosophy Essay/Midterm, and the Rose. Oh in political news, Ken Salazar is running for Congress, support him! He will win Colorado for the the Dems. He’s got a great crew behind him. Peculiarly enough, Ken is John Salazar’s (CD3 candidate) brother. Two brothers both running for Congress in the same year, cool huh? Hopefully, I will receive the Political Education Fellowship (an award given out to students to learn about politics for the summer). This year in Colorado will be the year of the donkey. I sincerely hope that we can swing Colorado. Once again, I repeat the call that “If you are a Democrat in a state with a plethora of Dems, you have a moral obligation to move to Colorado.” It’s a beautiful state, great air quality, great place to raise kids, and there are most definitely jobs there. Don’t worry; there is definitely a large amount of culture there from all backgrounds of diversity. Oh, and a shout out to all my homies. (I couldn’t figure out a better way to end this post.) Tune in next time when I will discuss: Dems and the Economics argument, Romanticism (both Bohemian and German), updating my family tab, and overall lovin’ it. I promise to make these posts more fun-filled and exciting because they haven’t been extremely adventurous.
