Blatant Racism at Johns Hopkins University. Any Thoughts?

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

Ok, so im a sophmore at Johns Hopkins University in baltimore, i.e. one of the major research and medical institutions in the entire world.

On saturday, the Sigma Chi fraternity posted on facebook (college myspace) an extremely racist party invite called “Halloween in the hood.” In the invitation, the social chair of the party writes that baltimore is an “HIV pit” and refered to blacks as “scallywhops, hoodrats, and skig skags.” Infront of the party house Sigma Chi hung a skeleton that was meant to resemble a black person.

The whole school right now is an uproar.
The NAACP of baltimore are also involved.

What do you guys think?

Are these “Teach in Asia” programs trustworthy?

Posted on July 19, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

I see postings all over the internet, on Craigslist, in local papers, on university bulletin boards, etc, all claiming there’s a huge need for English teachers in Asia.

Are these programs trustworthy? I’ve heard a few horror stories about people stuck in Korea/China with no plane ticket home, stuck in filthy housing, etc… Are they the exception?

It seems to me that with the huge amount of advertising done for these programs – SOMEONE is making money, and I’m sure at least one moneymaker will be the placement agencies. Is it at the expense of the teacher, or good for all involved?

I graduated 2 years ago with a BA in English & History and have had a hell of a time finding work – and am considering this path, but am not sure if it is wise. Ideas?

I would especially love to hear from anyone who has been involved with such a program or knows someone who has – even those who may have simply applied for one. Any good outcomes? Negative?

Thanks in Advance,
Workless BA in Texas.

I have just finished university and during the 3 years we were there this girl and me sent serious ” I like you” signals to each other, although we only spoke once. Im 90% sure she fancied me and Im crazy about her. Shes on facebook and I clicked on “add friend” and she accepted even though we only spoke once. How do I break the ice and take it a step further???

I am working for a private tutoring service at a large state university and I have a new service I need to market. Traditional direct mail isn’t working and I need to generate some buzz. What are some cost-effective ways to do that?
