Friday, from The D

From The D's Overheard column:

'08 Kappa: The work is for my black feminism class.
'08 Psi U: That's crazy. Can I take a white masculinity class?
'08 Kappa: It's called econ 1.

Also, it's Trustee election time at Dartmouth, for which The D musters little enthusiasm:

Each candidate was the favorite of at least one member of the board, but only Alderson garnered a green light from each member. Our struggles in finding a consensus are not a reflection that we disagree about the direction of the College or what a trustee should be, but rather that all of the candidates espouse similar views -- perhaps evidence that there's not much divisiveness about the future of the College after all.

The Little Green Blog has some further commentary on Alderson, the more controversial Smith, and how the voting process works.

Aside from Smith, about whom I've read more than enough, does anyone have any interesting thoughts on the other candidates? Their websites look good but don't say much. I'm talking to Sustainable Dartmouth to see if they'll ask some targeted sustainability questions and gauge their support for environmental initiatives on campus. I'll post the answers here if that happens.
