That's what counts. It pleased me to read in the Chronicle of Higher Education that Colgate settled the matter of women's ice hockey. The settlement, recognizing the varsity status of the team, means that greater opportunity to pursue excellence and self-understanding will be available to women. It would please me to read in the Chronicle or Scene that men are treated fairly in the same way with regard to academic opportunity. Colgate has a program in women's studies.
Students can major in women's studies.
To date, Colgate offers no men's studies program, denying men what women already have. If the Colgate catalogue is correct in its introduction to the women's studies program, then gender and gender-consciousness penetrate deeply all aspects of life. Eugene has spent the past 12 years playing in the N.F.L., culminating in a Super Bowl win for his team, the Green Bay Packers, this year. Eugene has been interviewed by numerous media representatives throughout his years in the league, and has always served as a thoughtful and articulate representative of his team. The Scene profiled Eugene Robinson in the November 1994 issue.
