To the Editor: Far too many students, faculty, and staff were sadly and needlessly emotionally hurt by events that occured on campus this year. An incredibly large amount of time and energy were squandered, and there is little to show for the effort.
The College's goal, which was set more than twenty years ago, of enrolling and graduating 100 black students in each class, as well as employing more black professors, can never be effectively pursued as it should be until the pallable hostility yields to the spirit of friendliness, cooperation, and sensitivity so abundant in all Oberlinians. And our gift to the graduating Class of '96 and to the incoming Class of 2000 must be that we students, faculty, and staff will live more faithfully in that spirit hereafter than we did this semester.
