A lot of the questions/comments that Cate had were ones that I would have had. You're knowledge girl, so if you don't have time to track Smith specifically, perhaps you can jump on the net and tie it in to national trends of liberalism vs. conservatism at colleges?
I *know* there was something in the NYT fairly recently, possibly this or last fall, about a change in tides of more conservative students vs. old-school hippie/liberal faculty and their reactions to the Iraq/Afghani war. If growing conservatism is indeed a trend across the country, then it can be tied to things at Smith.
And speaking as an Ayn Rand follower who went to school amongst MANY lefties, I applaud your request for a more balanced view, and truly giving a voice to EVERYONE, so that we can really understand what's going on. /broken record. :)
