Rangers upset Jessiman not in camp

NY Times Article Here

Jessiman's coach at Dartmouth College, Bob Gaudet, did not want Jessiman to participate in the five-day training camp. So Jessiman, a 6-foot-5 left wing, was a spectator, which did not make the Rangers' front office happy.

"I think it's crazy he's not in this camp," Glen Sather, the Rangers' president, general manager and head coach, said Sunday.

Jessiman, 19, will be a sophomore at Dartmouth. Sather said that on one hand, it was commendable that Jessiman acceded to the wishes of his college coach, but, "on the other hand, I think he's making a mistake not being here."

Kudos to Jessiman. The Rangers are notoriously bad at managing their draft picks and prospects, and Sather is the primary culprit. They spend money like the Yankees but have results like the Cubs.

If Jessiman puts up the same type of numbers he had last year (especially if he gets picked for the US team and does well in the World Junior Championships this December), he'll get a good pro contract regardless.

Oh my lord

Horrible

A former Darmouth basketball player suspected of drowning his toddler daughter and attempting to drown his 4-year-old son killed himself Monday by swerving into the path of a tractor trailer, authorities said. His two other children were injured in the crash.

Police believe the drowning and crash that killed Bryan Christopher Randall are the result of a dispute with his estranged wife. In a suicide letter found in the wreckage, Randall wrote he wanted to kill himself and his children because he didn't approve of how his ex-wife was caring for them, authorities said.

"I would say this is a domestic situation gone very bad," Maitland Deputy Police Chief Gary Calhoun said.

Holyoke Give Up Segregated Orientation

Boston Globe:
But this year, officials at Mount Holyoke are questioning whether bringing minority students to campus early is a good idea. Spurred in part by the national debate on affirmative action and other minority preferences, they are considering opening the 16-year-old program to white students. Other schools are undergoing similar soul-searching.

"There's some thought that pre-orientation programs might actually be a force toward rigidifying racial boundaries rather than opening them up," said Lee Bowie, dean of Mount Holyoke.

Yes, it's a fairly obvious conclusion. But how often does anyone involved in higher education grasp the obvious?

Jeffrey Hart and Harvey Mansfield and one or two others excluded, of course.

I doubt, however, that this small (and not yet implemented) chance at Holyoke will have much of an effect. What sort of students are going to elect to come to campus early to participate in a minority-focused pre-orientation? I'd bet that they're not the kind who would provide any intellectual diversity. But still, Bowie's admission is heartening. Two years ago it would have been a flat-out denial that institutionally encouraging racial segregation can lead to, surprise, more racial segregation.

And, yes, TDR is proud to be heavily biased against Holyoke.
