Column causes uproar on Brandeis campus 

Duck Season's Nick sends this Brandeis Justice article, which he says he hears is causing an uproar on campus:

"As I often like to do, I will end with a quote. This one comes from noted campus civil rights activist [name removed per request, pending review]. I cannot endorse it, but I find it fitting. In response to the praise being heaped on the skills of Dusty Baker, [name removed] responded, "The only thing Baker has a Ph.D. in is something that starts with an N and rhymes with Tigger, the cheerful scamp who stole all of our hearts in the Winnie the Pooh series."

Notes Nick, "And it's not just that one paragraph, although that paragraph is *so* blatantly offensive, but the rest of his article is just stinkin pile of crap. This guy clearly knows nothing about baseball.

In a bit of irony, i'm told the author has resigned from the Student Senate over this matter. [Our] Senate may not be so nutty after all."

Interesting note at the end of the column: "*THIS COLUMN IN NO WAY REPRESENTS THE OPINION OF THE JUSTICE OR THE JUSTICE EDITORIAL BOARD. IT REMAINS ONLINE FOR INSPECTION BY MEMBERS OF THE BRANDEIS COMMUNITY. THE EDITORIAL BOARD ASKS ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO BRING QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO THE PANEL DISCUSSION AND QUESTION & ANSWER PERIOD AT THE SHAPIRO CAMPUS CENTER AT 10 P.M. ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2003."
