		<description>I agree with both of the previous respondents. This is the same discussion that was going on when I attended Earlham in the 70&#039;s. It is challenging ever moreso for Earlham to continue to go against the culture of alcohol in our country, but the Friends philosophy and core value regarding alcohol use on campus runs deep and is not an attempt to be unwelcoming. I work in college health now at a state university in Michigan. Students&#039; difficulties with managing alcohol use ranks high on the list of reasons students don&#039;t succeed in college, and is a nationwide issue. Students who come to Earlham are not exempt from those pressures and practices of consuming alcohol, but if it is so great a problem for a student to accept  the &quot;dry campus&quot; policy, I alway wondered, is that an indication of a problem with alcohol use? As mentioned above, there are plenty of &quot;party schools&quot; if that is what some are after. Otherwise, it is good to honor the policy at Earlham.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t really understand why you guys agreed to pay for anything in regards to this incident.  By approving the registration of the party.  ResLife was accepting responsibility for it.  Furthermore, a part of your tuition covers room and board.  Room and board includes upkeep and maintenance of houses.  This was not done, causing the floor to break.  I disagree with the assessment of the condition of the house based on the dozens of reports from previous alumni and residents.  Earlham, you have lost your fight, lost your spine, and I am very disappointed.</description>

		<description>One more thing I forgot to add. Headlines are generally written in an active voice, usually include strong present tense verbs, and, in the case of opinion articles, convey more than just the topic but the also intent of the article.</description>

		<description>Bear in mind that I do not work at the Word anymore and never handled any of your articles (to my knowledge), but from my experience of almost four years working at the Word and one year working as a journalist overseas, I can tell you that writers never get final say in headline choice. The reason for that is simple– when laying out a newspaper, the size of a headline is limited by page space, and there is no way around that– sometimes the headline must be longer to fill up blank space, other times it must be tighter to conserve page space. In your case, &quot;Kaddafi’s death and Politics of Foreign Intervention&quot; takes up more space than &quot;Is the Western intervention really necessary?” In the future, your best bet is to submit several headlines of varying word length in order to accommodate the needs of the layout editors.</description>

		<description>What we have all been exposed to with this &quot;pink slime&quot; coverage is a classic example of media sensationalism aimed at ratings and not based on facts. Now some clear facts here. The only differences between the trimmings used to make ground beef, as the consumer recognizes it, and the trimmings used to make LFTB is the lean beef to fat ratio. LFTB starts by using higher fat trimmings. To achieve the higher lean ground beef that we all desire economically, the lean is separated from the fat and the lean is added back into the ground beef. Nutritionally equal or even improved due to higher lean content. On to the subject of ammonia hydroxide. The association of ammonia used as a cleaning agent is very misleading. After the lean beef is separated from the high fat trimmings. Food grade ammonia gas, which is naturally occurring in many foods including beef, is used to slightly elevate the ph of the product. Elevating the ph of the beef creates an environment that is unfriendly to bacteria. So the intent here is truly food safety. Next, I have seen a lot of back and forth about labeling. This is a tough one. There are some questions that have been posed many times. Do you label it ground beef with lean beef added? Or, do you put on the label ammonia used to elevate the level of already existing ammonia? Contrary to what many might believe, this debate has been going on throughout for quite some time. The next thing we should be asking ourselves is, who&#039;s going to suffer? Well, simple economics will tell us we, as consumers, will pay more at the meat counter due to the lose of quality lean beef in the market place. I would encourage that we all do some research for ourselves and not buy into the media hype. A well informed consumer now has the tools to, and will, make good choices.</description>

		<description>Agreed! But NJ already allows gay civil unions. What exactly is this bill changing?

And I&#039;m not being argumentative. I really don&#039;t know. I can&#039;t find this bill anywhere to read. 

If a gay couple gets the right to force someone to marry them who doesn&#039;t agree with their lifestyle then I will vote against it. 

If a gay couple forces a shop owner to sell them wedding items even though he thinks they are demons then I will vote against this bill. 

Freedom is for everyone. What more than what already exists will this bill bring to the gays of NJ?</description>

		<description>Very well said.
Something else I&#039;d also like to draw to the attention of anyone who might be reading this is the way Res Life currently conducts special housing requests for students with disabilities (such as myself). Not only is their form unnecessarily long and bureaucratic, but it makes us have to revisit healthcare professional to confirm things Res Life already knows from our medical history. 
It&#039;s also very insulting to be told that your disability simply doesn&#039;t garner the need for special accommodation. This has happened to me personally because I don&#039;t have an immediately noticeable physical handicap. 

Has anyone else had this happen to them?</description>

		<description>If you&#039;re a college aged man, surely you are aware by now that men&#039;s bathrooms across the nation are cesspools of anti-social graffiti that is made for the sole sake of shock value. It is stupid, juvenile and sometimes offensive, but rarely reflective of anything beyond the vandal&#039;s immaturity. The correct way to respond to the &quot;white power&quot; graffiti is to quietly remove it, not make a scene in the Word about it that only serves the vandal&#039;s objective of eliciting a reaction. In any case, the graffiti doesn&#039;t suggest that whoever wrote it actually believes in the white power movement any more than writing &quot;Susie sucks dick&quot; on a stall provides credible information about Susie&#039;s sex life.

As for the &quot;SPJP makes me want to join the IDF&quot; graffiti, it was obviously a cynical expression of frustration and not a comment to be taken literally. It might have been out of line, but it would be no different than if someone wrote &quot;AIPAC makes me want to join Hamas,&quot; a statement which I&#039;m sure most people at SPJP would see the humor in. 

Again, I think all bathroom graffiti is stupid, and I get why &quot;White Power&quot; in particular is inherently offensive, but your reaction fails to recognize the context in which such graffiti is created and only serves its purpose.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a class of 1998 alum, and I was at a dance party on College Avenue when the floor broke. It was a not a college-owned house. As I recall,the floor was sagging about a foot in the middle. It had not completely collapsed but was close to having done so. I appreciate the precaution being taken here.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m A class of 1989 alum and we had many dance parties at Woodman house. I can&#039;t remember how many (every week/every other week?) or how many people on average that attended (the living room completely full spilling into the room with the stairs, and out onto the front porch) but life at EC without dancing?????? Yes, alcohol was used by students. Moving toward a policy that allows legal consumption at events would be the most progressive direction EC could make. Complex issues that still need to be faced. Let Earlham be a leader in a movement LONG OVERDUE!!!</description>

		<description>&quot;I have not once seen BDS Earlham attempt to educate Earlham about Israel. Without a solid understanding of the socio-political history of Israel and the Jewish people, one can never understand why Israel acts the way she does.&quot;

Are you sure you want us talking about 1948? Israeli New Historians--such as Illan Paappe--have shown that the founding of Israel entailed acts of utter barbarism.  If I may say, Jewcentricity in general--by this I mean the privileging of Jewish suffering over that of other peoples--is rather troubling, especially when used to impose sufferings on others.</description>

		<description>I am an EC graduate who was at the school in the 80&#039;s. In general, I think the school&#039;s policy works fairly well. Judging from the above article, little has changed regarding the drinking practices of students at Earlham. 

In some ways I do not like the official ban. Usually artificial restrictions of drugs and alcohol are a bad idea. Most drugs should be legalized, and certainly the country should abolish drinking-age laws, at the very least for those over 18. However, EC is, as the above commenter noted, a Quaker institution. Quakers are notorious for their negative views of drinking. While I disagree with these views, it is certainly their prerogative to enforce them at their own school. 

No student is required to attend Earlham, and if they do decide to attend, but find they do not like the alcohol policy, they are free to leave. There are plenty of schools that celebrate drunken revelry and debauchery much more openly in campus culture. People really ought to go to another school if this is what they want. The Board should stand firm on the policy as it stands. Earlham should be different, because Quakerism is different.</description>

		<description>Would you mind pointing out where in my comment I implied that I spoke for Earlham&#039;s Jewish community? I stated that SOME Jewish individuals had helped to found and continued to support BDS- nothing more, nothing less. That isn&#039;t based on intuition or perception, but on solid fact.
This was to counter the flawed argument Andrew himself presents with his misleading title on this article, which implies that an entire &quot;minority&quot; on campus is being alienated by this movement.

Nowhere in my comment have I stated that the words/actions of either pro or anti-BDS Jewish members of Earlham speak for the community as a whole.</description>

		<description>Kamil, it is just as wrong for you to talk about what Earlham&#039;s Jewish community believes as it is for Andrew to do so because just as there may be some Jews at Earlham who support the BDS movement and have written about it(as you mentioned) there have also been others who are against it and have written about this as well. 
Just as you advise Andrew to not speak for Jews at Earlham but only for individuals(with their consent), then you should follow this same practice.</description>

		<description>Perhaps everyone involved needs to take a step back and remember why Earlham is a &quot;dry&quot; campus.  It&#039;s not a matter of legalities; it&#039;s not a matter of what is popular; it&#039;s not a matter of what draws or deters prospective students.  It IS a matter of principle based on a core value of the Society of Friends, to allow (encourage?) alcohol consumption would undermine this philosophy.  If the &quot;dry campus&quot; policy is abolished, Earlham ceases to be a Quaker organization.</description>

		<description>“It seems that armored bulldozers do tear down buildings and that is their intended purpose, not exactly an international violation if used correctly.”

It sure is a violation when it’s done to people’s homes and as a form of collective punishment for the crimes of others. Tell me, how much have you read on what it’s like for Palestinians or Arab citizens of Israel to try and get building permits for their homes? How much have you read about the way settlements in the West Bank deliberately obstruct and indeed, sabotage efforts of Palestinians to live in areas where they’ve been located for hundreds of years?
So yeah, where’s that “correct usage” you were talking about again?


“In regards to scanners and border protection devices, I’m not sure how this can even be brought into the same discussion as human rights violations”

I was going to write more about your odious usage of the term “border protection” (since you have yet to tell your audience what exactly constitutes Israel’s legal border according to international law), but lets not even go there right now.

Let me set up a scenario for you: I’m going to set up barricades, checkpoints and security barriers between your house, your workplace, hospitals, schools and other areas of town. Every time you wish to travel, even if it’s for a genuine emergency, I’m going to stop you based on your identity card. I will then subject you to hours (read: hours) of delays, harassment, bullying and even physical intimidation if I feel like it. Whether or not you’re late for work/have to be somewhere or even need desperate medical attention is largely irrelevant- it’s up to me whether you get across or not.
I’ll even detain you if you don’t “look right” (words spoken by an Israeli soldier to a Palestinian student at Earlham). 
So, none of these strike you as human rights violations? You should definitely live in the West Bank as an Arab citizen then, seeing as you’re made of such tough stuff!


“Normally I would not side with a minority group because I believe in majority rule, but this case is different. Jewish students are not the only ones against BDS (in fact some are for it), but not even a majority of the students have signed the petition as of last Wednesday.”

And yet, you conveniently neglect to acknowledge or mention (maybe you’re just unaware?) that BDS Earlham itself was founded by and continues to be supported by members of Earlham’s Jewish community. At least three of them have even written articles for the Word, expressing their support for BDS and the reason for doing so.

You have zero right to presume that you speak for ANY “minority” on campus. Speak for individuals (with their consent) if you must. That’s it. 

“If we were to look at precedent, then this sort of action would not be found in this nation’s history, to respond to a boycott in international affairs.”

Lets open up a history book. 
Now, lets read up on South Africa and Apartheid. Read up some on how boycott movements influenced the struggle against apartheid tremendously.
Then we’ll talk.
Also, since when was it mandated that action of this sort required a precedent in U.S. history? Hardly the soundest logic when it comes to adapting to new situations in an ever-changing world.</description>

		<description>Looks like he drew attention by being an older guy at a college party and by being seen outside right before the incident, not because of his skin color. Just because a suspect is a person of color doesn&#039;t mean they&#039;re a suspect BECAUSE they&#039;re a person of color. Comparing this situation to Trayvon Martin&#039;s death is irresponsible and disgusting.</description>

		<description>Thank you for finally admitting that the BDS divestment idea will not accomplish any change with the Palestinian situation but will just make some Earlham students feel good about their own morality. Why are people at Earlham concentrating on this rather than trying to find ways to actually help the Palestinian people?</description>
