Gerald Oliver The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) arrived on Duke's campus when Gerald Oliver was a sophomore. By his senior year, he was president of NPHC, the umbrella organization for the nine historically black fraternities and sororities, six of which are represented at Duke. As the leader of a young organization, Oliver worked to strengthen NPHC's voice, establish its place in the Greek system and smooth out communication between Duke administrators and black Greeks. That entailed going to lots of meetings and speaking up, he said. "I haven't been involved with big stuff that makes the paper," Oliver said. "I didn't organize a super program; it was more day-to-day things." Oliver, who is also a member of Campus Council, made time for weekly meetings of the Community Executive Council, where the presidents of the four Greek councils -- NPHC, the Interfraternity Council, the Inter-Greek Council and the Pan-Hellenic Association -- discussed such issues as housing, recruitment, hazing policies and community service. "The things that IFC and Pan-Hell do affect us, and the things we do affect them," Oliver said. "We made a lot of effort in that group to make sure we were working together since our fates are tied." Fraternities and sororities have been viewed as self-segregating organizations, but Oliver said that black fraternities and sororities have helped lift up the black community that historically has had a disadvantage in higher education. "It would be inaccurate to say there is no color division," said Oliver, a psychology major who is applying to business schools for the fall. "But just because the organizations serve different purposes doesn't mean they can't interact and understand each other." The student-run Center for Race Relations has helped open lines of communication by bringing together Oliver's fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and the almost all-white Kappa Alpha fraternity to discuss issues they previously hadn't had a venue to address. "We had a lot of good conversations," Oliver said, "but it doesn't mean much if nobody beyond the leaders buys into that." The diversity of Duke provides an opportunity for ethnic and cultural exchange that many students might not have had up to that point. When he returns to Duke over the years for homecoming, he would like to see race relations remain a priority and more members involved in the discussions. "As long as conversations like that continue to happen," he said, "race relations on campus will get better." Katie Mitchell The Greek system still needs work, said Katie Mitchell, president of the Duke chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority. But changes won't be easy to make because the Greek system is a microcosm of the larger world. "The world is competitive; the world is exclusive; the world has standards that have little to do with who you are," Mitchell said. Mitchell, and the Tri-Delts, forged ahead anyway. The alcohol-free casino night the Tri-Delts sponsored in November was open to everyone on campus. The party attracted a cross-section of the student body, raised money for charity and may become a Tri-Delt tradition to help shrug off a reputation of exclusivity. Once the Women's Initiative report added "effortless perfection" to the campus lexicon, Mitchell gathered the 170 women in her chapter for a discussion about eating disorders. "Talking about it is the first step," she said. "We need to talk about our experiences and move past them." Mitchell believes that change can evolve through "small things done with a good heart and good intentions." "I think my strength and who I am can be a force to change the system," she said. In her leadership roles, Mitchell has learned that change forced upon others won't succeed. "The administration can't impose any one culture on the students," she said. "When we see things that need to be changed, we need to come together and ask, 'How do we make this happen?'" She joined 17 other women to write, edit and perform "All of the Above," a series of anonymous monologues about what it is like to be a woman at Duke. The performance sold out every night. A public policy major with minors in women's studies and Spanish, Mitchell is off to Tanzania on a Hart Fellowship later this year to research women's legal rights in the East African country. Ashley Joyce The letter Ashley Joyce received as vice chair of the Undergraduate Judicial Board was every probation officer's dream. A student returning to Duke from a one-year suspension for cheating wrote to thank board members for imposing the punishment. The time 。
A vast range of cultural, educational, athletic and social activities are available to Princeton students, faculty and staff. Getting involved in campus life is the quickest way to become a part of the University community, and to create one's own Princeton experience. Campus life activities are built around the concepts of encouraging each community member to express his or her talents and to respect all members of our pluralistic community. One of the University's most distinctive characteristics is its closely knit and integrated residential community. Housing is guaranteed for undergraduates, and nearly all students live on campus. The residential experience is central to Princeton's educational program, and the residential colleges offer students a supportive and enriching environment full of opportunities for personal growth. ------ In September I start my third year at Fudan University,which means that I've spent exactly two years living on campus. In my opinion, university life is about enjoying yourself and realizing your dreams. The class timetable in the university is flexible, which gives students more free time. Some students spend it in the library, reading books. Their learning ambition is so high that they claim their seats as soon as the library doors open. But many prefer to relax doing something else, such as playing Gu-Zheng, an ancient Chinese musical instrument. My roommate has one of these. She paid 500 yuan for it, which was a big decision for her, because her family's financial situation is not so good. My friend earned all the money herself by tutoring junior students twice a week. She only spent five yuan every day over three meals. After three months, she realized her dream. As we students are getting older we can start making our own decisions. With this right comes responsibility. Most of us take part-time jobs as tutors to earn some pocket money- a few capable students will gain enough money to be self-sufficient. By teaching we realize the challenge of making a living. Some of my friendscomplain about the workload, though they admit that teaching also makes them confident. As their students progress, the tutors feel happy too. There are other exciting things going on at university. Love stories are an indispensable part of life on campus. Though it may cause both happiness and bitter feelings, many can't help looking for true love. One of my best friends has had her heart broken twice. Maybe it's partly her fault through picking boyfriends by appearance, the way most people do. Love can make you blind to someone's lesspretty sides. But my friend feels that it's worth it to keep trying until she finds the right person. Those who have yet to find their prince or princess can devote their time to other things. Personally, I'm a big fan of Korean actors. Bae Yong Jun is a Korean movie star who Chinese girls are crazy about. At one point last winter, even the way Bae wore his scarves became a trend. I learned four ways of wearing my scarves! And of course I also copy his hairstyle. But to be honest, I have some difficulty getting my hair into the right shape。
But for a university student, the most important thing should be studying. When I was a freshman, one of our tutors told us to make good use of the best teachers while at university. “Make sure that by the time you graduate, there's a big difference between you, and those who haven't entered school yet,” he said. This piece of advice made a deep impression on me. Always keep studying! To me, it's simple. Life on campus is about finding one's priorities, and about being part of a group who work to achieve interesting and creative goals.。
We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are just plain or not good-looking at all.
However, nowadays some people hold the belief that appearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others.
Nevertheless, I still firmly believe that abilities are more important. For one thing, although good looks are easy on the eye, it is always one's abilities that create values that really matter. For another, while people's good looks were born to them, abilities have to be gained through deliberate self-cultivation and years of hardworking which speak more of people's true colors. Last but not least, abilities grow over time while good looks only fade. Eventually, it is the abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good looks.

.The features of a city are its buildings. As a factor most reflecting the times, society and nation,the buildings give overall and integrated expression to the national tradition, regional features spirit of the times and the social value.

In the past 150 years since its opening in 1843, Shanghai has gradually developed into an international metropolis as well as an important economic, trade financial and cul-tural center of China. The special development op-portunities have made the western culture, local Shanghai culture and regional cultures of China collide, co-exist and become integrated and thus make Shanghai integrate the essence of the Chinese and Foreign cultures. In this way, Shanghai has become the place of origin for the modern Chinese con-struction culture and has a unique history of con-struction culture. The modern buildings of Shanghai are rich in styles, almost covering those of almost all the periods of the world construction history. It can be said that they constitute a living world construction history. You can see the new classicism buildings, Gothic building and compromise buildings, to the modernism buildings popular in Europe and America, decoration and art buildings and the new classicism Chinese buildings. The number of the styles, the complexity of the types and the grand scale of those builds are beyond match in this world. They give a comprehensive reflection of the evolution of the modern society and cities and also provide a key to learn the culture of Shanghai and the history of modern China. 漫步街头,寻找城市的足迹,最显而易见的是城市的建筑.建筑是文化领域中最具有时代性、社会性和民族性的因素,整体而又集中地体现了民族传统、地域特性、时代精神和社会的价值取向.徜徉外滩金融街.南京东路商业街、徐汇区的花园别墅群间,看到的是上海兴盛的历史.自1843年开埠以后,上海在150年中,逐渐发展成为一个国际化的大都市,成为中国重要的经济中心、贸易中心、金融中心和文化中心.特殊的发展际遇,使西方文化、上海本地文化和中国不同地域文化在此相互间冲撞、并存,融合,糅合了古今中外文化的精粹,令上海成为中国现代建筑文化的策源地,拥有独特的建筑文化历史. 上海的近代建筑有着十分丰富的内涵,在近百年的建筑中,几乎囊括了世界建筑各个时期的各种风格,简直就是一部活生生的世界建筑史.从新古典主义,哥特复兴式、折衷主义到盛行欧美的现代主义建筑、装饰艺术派建筑.复兴中国传统建筑艺术的中国新古典建筑等,各种风格数量之多、种类之繁杂、规模之宏大在世界上也是罕见的.它综合反映了近代社会和城市演变的历程,是解读上海文化、研究近代中国的一把钥匙.。
中文 我这篇是我自己辛辛苦苦写的,一定要给我分啊! 春暖花自开: 春暖花自开,是啊!只要风雪过后,春天来了,天气暖和了,花儿自然竞相开放。
生活中又何尝不是呢?努力了,自然就会成功。 2008年5月12日,全中国的人民都无法忘记的一天。
这一天,汶川大地震发生了,这突如其来的灾难,带走无数的生命,更留下深深的伤痛。 血红的夕阳落下了,又过去了一日。
时间飞快地逝去,时间的推移意味着生命的逝去。武警官兵已经坚持奋战了3天,救出了一个个鲜活的生命,可是还有更多人在地下苦苦挣扎。
坍塌的是一栋栋教学楼,地震发生时,孩子们都正在上课。只有少数几个逃了出来,其他的,都掩埋在废墟下呀!地底下,有多少双忧伤的小小的眼睛,努力撑着,不要睡去。
他们都在祈祷:“叔叔阿姨,来救救我吧,我还要上学,还要与家人团聚呀!”可惜救援人员无法听见,他们只好寂寞地等待,等待。 操场上,一具具小小的尸体静静地躺着,等待家人最后再来见他们一眼。
“孩子,我的孩子,你还这样小,怎么就走了呢?”一位母亲抱着上幼儿园的孩子的遗体,仰头大哭。悲切的哭声让人为之动容。
更多的家长,来不及哭泣,他们拼命挖着,希望能找到自己的儿女。全然不顾眼中的血丝和手上源源不断涌出的血珠。
孤儿院,大家不叫不闹,坐着,他们想哭,但发红的双眼已挤不出一滴眼泪。当别的孩子依偎在父母怀里,她们却与亲人永远地生死离别。
一个小姑娘呆呆地坐着,痴痴地望着大山:“爸爸妈妈,你们这怎么还不来接我呀?我好想你们呀!姐姐说了,你们正在翻过大山来找我,你们快来呀!” 地震的噩耗传遍祖国大地,除了伤痛,大家更关心着灾区的人民。大家尽自己的力,有钱的捐钱、捐物的捐物、献血的献血。
国家也采取了措施,领导人查访,武警官兵搜救。交通堵塞自己挖路,实在进不去,空投伞兵。
各处子弟兵乘船,搭车,坐飞机,赶往灾区。各大企业听说学校没了,也纷纷慷慨解囊,资助建校。
1元10元,1万元,1亿元。不论多少,它们都是一颗颗爱心,在灾区据困难的时候,向他们飞去。
春暖花自开。
在人们的爱心帮助下,灾区人民一定会重新站起来,重建美好家园!让我们再次唱起那熟悉的歌声:“只要人人都献出一点爱,世界将变成美好的人间!”祝福灾区! 英文 ]为四川汶川哀悼作文 In the sound of the whistle, the May meeting of rain and tears. This is a sad moment: the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, lovers, teachers, students, friends, colleagues, neighbours… 。 to at 14:28 on May 12 before the dull, busy, hope , Disappointed, sad, happy…… those beutiful days. Today's Wenchuan Festivals, it is only a short farewell. Life, not just breathing and heartbeat. Man's bitterest sorrows are separation and death not the lives of the border. Pro-people did not leave, everything will continue. In the ruins of the baby crying sound, called a "Wenchuan" new life, born today. 在悠远的汽笛声中垂首默立,任5月的雨水和泪水交汇。
这是挥别的一刻:向母亲、父亲、儿子、女儿、妻子、丈夫、恋人、老师、学生、朋友、同事、邻居……;向5月12日14时28分前的平淡、忙碌、盼望、失望、忧愁、欢喜……那些美丽的温馨日子。 今天的汶川祭奠,一定也只是短暂的告别。
生命,并非仅仅是呼吸和心跳。生离死别,不是生命的边界。
亲人们没有离去,一切都将延续。在废墟上嘹亮的婴儿啼哭声里,一个叫做“汶川”的新生命,今天降生。
