The Voice of Hunter College Since 1944? Oh, Please!
Part 1 of 4:
Below is a message I posted on Hunter-L early in the semester regarding a cheap shot by Editor in Chief Ming Fearon, who is at the top of the food chain for a Hunter student publication that purports to be “the voice of Hunter College since 1944.”

10 Reasons America Needs the The DREAM Act
December 4th, 2010Posted by Stephanie Valencia on December 03, 2010 at 03:13 PM EST
Stephanie Valencia is an Associate Director of the Office of Public Engagement
In the coming days, Congress will vote on the DREAM Act – a common-sense piece of legislation drafted by both Republicans and Democrats that will give young people who grew up in the United States a chance to contribute to our nation by pursuing a higher education or serving in the U.S. armed forces. It’s limited, targeted legislation that will allow only the best and brightest to earn their legal status, and applies to those brought to the United States as minors through no fault of their own by their parents, and who know no other home.

Savvy Straphanger This Guy

How savvy, I thought.
I should have stayed as long as he was to be there to see what was to happen next but I wanted to be on time for my class. Would NYPD roust him? How did the idea come about?

Warming Up After a Hiatus Caused by Many Things Personal and Professional
November 6th, 2010So, the first step after a long delay:
A plethora of cop shows! A plethora of Zombie movies! And now a Zombie TV special, The Walking Dead (which stole some “stuff” from 28 Days Later), on AMC. Harbingers of things to come after the mid term elections?!?
Are the Zombies avatars for Americans who don’t vote? Don’t get involved? So desensitized that all they can do is trudge? Have succumbed? Are the surfeit of cop shows an echo of authoritarian palpitations in the nation’s psyche?
Will have to revisit this.
A Wikileaks Primer – Columbia Journalism Review
October 23rd, 2010A must read for those who want to be up to date on what’s happening.
By CJR Staff
Around 5 p.m. on Friday, the online secret-sharing site WikiLeaks released almost 400,000 previously classified U.S. military documents pertaining to the Iraq war. As with their last document dump, WikiLeaks shared the documents with a number of news organizations before they were widely released. Here’s a basic rundown of those outlets’ initial coverage. (The French newspaper Le Monde was also given access to the documents. Unfortunately, nobody here reads French.)

A Quote Too Good to Be Overlooked
November 7th, 2010Okay, I know lots and lots of folks – trash-ers as well as supplicants — read the NY Times and post the readings all over the place as if no one else reads the Times like they do. But this quote was too good to be overlooked and my students are in the back of my mind when they aren’t in the front:
