I would've parsed that differently
News in Brief:
The Berkeley Jewish Journal earned honors as the best news magazine for providing a voice for the campus Jewish community with interviews and news stories.
Wow... that's a very specific category.
On a guy who died of heart failure:
"It's really a tragedy," said Michael Moore, chairman of Pacific Masters Swimming, the organization that hosts the annual meet. "Our hearts go out to his friends and family."
Gee... couldn't you have worded that a bit more tactfully?
On Affirmative Actionish stuff:
Rally Targets 'Modest' Gains in Admissions Diversity
That'll show minorities not to have modest gains in admissions.
Although 11 more American Indian students were admitted this year than last year, the process of admitting these students needs re-evaluation, said Veronique Richardson from the Native American Recruitment and Retention Center.
Other races' admissions do not need re-evaluation.
"This institution, which prides itself on having Nobel Prize-winning researchers, has not had an internal audit on diversity since 1991," said Peter Gee, executive director of bridges. "If they can do so much for the world outside of Sather Gate, then they can do the same for much-needed minority statistics."
Yes, please save the poor statistics. Oh, and maybe help out the minorities, too.
On some boat thing:
