Same Deceitful Behavior from The Student Life

I've been asked to take down the email I posted earlier, so I've complied. 

Instead, I was given a copy of Greg Zahner CMC '12's original piece in The Student Life. Notice how the last paragraph was cut from his article. Here's that paragraph, with my emphasis.

"Furthermore, I commend President Gann for the strong leadership she has shown. All members of the Claremont Colleges should be proud that she responded quickly to assert the rights of students. David Daleiden, like many others, is grateful to Dean Huang (CMC Dean of Students) “for his office’s timely action to correct the injustice.” Lastly, I thank and congratulate Charles Johnson CMC’11, Ilan Wurman CMC’10, and the other contributors to the blog Claremont Conservative. They worked hard, along with other students, alums, professors, and administrators, to ensure that David Daleiden and Kyle Kinneberg would be cleared of the false accusations made against them. "

Hmm.... I wonder why it was cut. 

Unfortunately, this kind of deceitful editing practices are what we've come to expect it. Remember Aanchal Kapoor last year ? She wrote on the White Party and had her article entirely changed.

Given this tendency of The Student Life, I'd like to extend an open invitation to any and all members of The Student Life to join The Claremont Independent. Even if you are left-leaning, we'll find something for you to do that is commisserate with your skills and we'll edit for punctuation, spelling, etc., not content. 

Pitzer's Acting President on Bromance in The Globe and Mail

Peter Nardi is the acting president of Pitzer College right now while President Laura-Skandera Trombley is taking a leave of absence during which she plans to learn how to drive a race car. Dude. You can't make this stuff up. 

Speaking of dudes, here's what Nardi said about bromance in Canada's Globe and Mail.

Peter Nardi, a professor at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif., who studies male friendships, says previous generations' gender work divide may have bred men to be emotionally reserved with each other.

"What happened was that men found themselves in work situations where they had to be more instrumental, and women found themselves in situations where they were more expressive, such as nursing and teaching. So for men, their relationships follow a more instrumental, activity-oriented interaction, whereas women's interaction is much more emotionally expressive."

Dr. Nardi says, though, that since he edited a book called Men's Friendships 17 years ago, things have changed. "I think it's the result of the baby boomer generation breaking down gender differences in the sixties."

Forgive me for being politically incorrect, but might it be possible that the reason men follow a more "instrument, activity-oriented interaction" or that women like nursing and teaching because they are hard-wired for it? 

It seems to me more than a bit narcisstic for the "boomer generation" to pat itself on the back for nearly every social change.
