My name is Marcarthur. I am a full time student at Syracuse University. I have no intentions of leaving this damn school until I obtain what I came here to get!

2ND SEMESTER

I've made up my mind to seriously journal my second semester of college. This obnoxiously long rant of nothingness on my blog will come to an end and will be replaced with the life of a syracuse student. Pictures, notes and Videos. Im ready.

MIRRORS

Lost and found

The twentieth century, which was born proclaiming peace and justice, died bathed in blood. It passed on a world much more unjust than the one it inherited.
The twenty-first century, which also arrived heralding peace and justice, is following in its predecessor's footsteps.
In my childhood, I was convinced that everything that went astray on earth ended up on the moon.
But the astronauts found no sign of dangerous dreams or broken promises or hopes betrayed.
If not on the moon, where might they be?
Perhaps they were never misplaced.
Perhaps they are in hiding here on earth. Waiting.

Hey I have a question...If two young adults have unprotected sex and the female happens to get pregnant... and decides to keep it ... the male needs to support her, and take responsibility for his actions.. fair to say ? But what about the other way around .. say she gets pregnant and she doesn't want to keep it, but the male does.... what does she need to do ???

JORDAN



#23 to #12 (one game in 1990)
REASON: On Valentine’s Day, in a game against the Orlando Magic, a fan broke into MJ’s locker and stole his game jersey, forcing him to wear No. 12

SOC: STAMP OF CAMARADERIE

My man Mattoo has been helping me with this project Im working on. He's a big inspiration to me, him along with others. Time is not an issue, quality is what I want and he has helped me realize that. You should defiantly support this man and the SOC movement. Its more than just clothing .... it means so much more.

DIVERSITY SURVEY

1) I believe that racial and ethnic diversity is important at Syracuse University?

A. Yes B. No

Yes

2)How diverse do you think Syracuse campus is based on scale of 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest?

3


3) Are you involved with any clubs that deal with race and ethnicity?

Yes I’m a member of the Wells Link mentoring program

I am the president of the multicultural learning community if that counts


4) Have you ever heard of the class “Intergroup Dialogue”?

Nope


5) Have you heard of the website USARiseUp.com?

Nope


6) Have you ever been involved in an event on campus which involves a different ethnicity other than your own?

Yes I’ve been on a multicultural retreat


7) What are your thoughts about Syracuse being the 8th most segregated school in the nation?

I wouldn’t doubt that statement. You don’t even have to attend the University to realize this.

Just spend a day on campus and that is clear.


8)Do you believe that is true? Why or why not?

I do believe this is true. It shows in the way the students live and interact with each other on campus. They eat in groups, study in groups, hang out, walk to class, traveling to and fro places. Its really divided here and easy to fall into the segregated system.


9)There are 8 other schools that have a similar race and ethnicity class here at Syracuse, what you believe that says about our nation’s agenda and focus on race and ethnicity?

I believe it says its not high on the nations to do list. America is sadly comfortable with segregation. They might not come out and say it but not
