 The 
        Problem with Payback(The Washington Post, 8/28)
 By Kurt Schmoke, Sr. Fellow of Yale Corporation
 Some students at Yale University recently wrote an essay documenting 
        the fact that slaveholders and proponents of slavery, along with abolitionists, 
        figured prominently in the 300-year history of Yale. For me, the essay 
        raises the same question as does any account of slavery: What is to be 
        done today?
 The 
        Enduring Legacy of the South's Civil War Victory(The New York Times, 8/26/01)
 By David Brion Davis, Director of Yale's Gilder Lehrman Center.
 The United States is only now beginning to recover from the Confederacy's 
        ideological victory following the Civil War. Though the South lost the 
        battles, for more than a century it attained its goal: that the role of 
        slavery in America's history be thoroughly diminished, even somehow removed 
        as a cause of the war.

        discipline of the human race in this world, and that it is in perfect 
        harmony ... with the great declared object of the Savior's mission to 
        earth." --Samuel F.B. Morse

 It would be unrealistic to expect an institution as old as Yale

        that underwrote it.However, what is disconcerting is the university's 
        insensitivity and lack of balance in choosing who and what to honor over

 We oppose "card count 
          neutrality" at Yale for two reasons. First, we believe that all members 
          of our community Ñ faculty, students, and staff Ñ should have the right 
          to express themselves freely on the matter of unionization. Second, 
          we favor the time-honored method of a secret ballot election after a 
          period of free and open debate. The secret ballot is a fundamental democratic 
          right.

        car up your butt. That's the current state of parking, thanks to Yale.
