College & University Part II
John Carroll University, Cleavland: 1. 5 (Allies) 2. 1 (they have a labyrinth!) 3. 0 4. 5 5. 0 6. 5 7. 5 extra: +2 for information about the womyn-freeing pill available Total: 23
May I try to persuade you to upgrade your evaluation of my "alma mater," John Carroll University from "Good (not great" to "Very good"?
I was a [male -- horrors!] student at JCU from August, 1969 through May, 1974, so I was able to see how the SOV2 had taken root, a few years before, and how it has blossomed in the decades since I graduated.
I offer the following facts in the university's favor, as part of my campaign to persuade you.
I. Diversity, as evidenced in student organizations, such as the following: ---- Amnesty International ---- Asian Cultural Organization ---- College Democrats ---- French Club ---- Generation Green ---- Green Life ---- Habitat for Humanity ---- Hip Hop Dance Club ---- JUSTICE (Jesuit University Students Together In Concerned Empowerment) ---- Latin American Student Association ---- Middle Eastern Student Association ---- Students Against Discrimination (SAD)
II. Diversity, as evidenced in a multi-gender, multi-cultural faculty, a few of whom I now list: ----- Dr. Abdulrazaq A. Imam, Assistant Professor of Psychology [potential friend of Dr. Al-Fakkir] ----- Dr. Elmer Anita Thames, Assistant Professor of Psychology [and possible hermaphrodite] ----- Dr. Tamba Nlandu, Assistant Professor of Philosophy [from Democratic Republic of Congo] ----- Dr. Joan M. Nuth, Associate Professor of Religious Studies [and feminist extraordinaire -- author of a book about 15-Century womyn mystic, Julian of Norwich, who wrote, "As truly as God is our Father, so truly God is our Mother," and has a feast celebrated by the Episcopal Church.]
III. Improvements since my graduation, including: ----- Coed dorms ----- Brochures on condoms available in Student Union Building ----- Article on all forms of contraception in student newspaper ----- Liturgical dancing in (Jesuit-staffed) parish just off campus.
PS: John Carroll University (the Blue Streaks) are in University Heights, a suburb of Cleveland [not Cleavland]. The year before I started there, the first womyn's dormitory had opened.
Unfortunately, I have to stick with what I found on the website. I will give a 2 to "pregnancy alternatives" since the Information on that womyn-freeing pill is readily available. However, they still don't offer any prayer services for our brothers, the muslims and Budhists.
As far as the spelling of ANYTHING goes, I am a firm believer that spelling, like faith, is in the heart of the speller. As long as what I write is readable by others, I'm not getting hung up on a vowel or two out of place.
