Jordan Fabian, a Collegiate Network fellow at The Hill for 2009-10, appeared live on Fox News Aug. 26 with Greta Van Susteren, host of the show "On the Record."
Fabian weighed in on whether members of Congress should read the entire text of bills before voting on them. The topic was sparked by Democratic Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and one of the chief authors of the healthcare law. Van Susteren said Baucus reportedly told a voter at a Tuesday town hall meeting in Montana, "I don't think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It's statutory language. We hire experts." To read the full text of the show, click here. See another picture from the show here. For Fabian's article on the subject, click here.
Fabian currently works as a staff writer at The Hill and is a 2009 graduate of Cornell University, where he was Editor-at-Large of CN publication The Cornell Review. Fabian also has completed internships with The American and The Weekly Standard. His articles have been posted on www.drudgereport.com numerous times, and he has appeared as a guest on MSNBC.
Collegiate Network alumnus Dinesh D'Souza has recently been named president of The King's College, one of the top Christian liberal arts schools in the country.
D'Souza previously worked as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House and has written several New York Times best-selling books, including "What's So Great About Christianity" and "The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11."
D'Souza graduated from Dartmouth College in 1983 and helped found one of the CN's first publications, The Dartmouth Review. The newspaper, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, is credited as having spawned a movement of politically conservative independent U.S. college newspapers. Many of these papers, including The Yale Free Press, Harvard Salient, California Review, Princeton Tory and Cornell Review, are still members of the CN today.
D'Souza will assume his position at The King's College at the beginning of the fall semester. The school, located in the Empire State Building of New York City, is listed by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as one of the top 50 colleges for conservatives.
The Collegiate Network has added another Program Officer to its staff. Nicole Trotta graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2008 with a major in journalism and a minor in English. Nicole was the editor of the student newspaper on campus, The Royal Purple. Before joining the Collegiate Network, she worked as a copy editor for The Leaf-Chronicle, a daily newspaper in Clarksville, Tennessee. Nicole looks forward to working with members of CN student publications and may be reached at ntrotta@isi.org or by phone at 302-524-6124.
On Monday, July 12th, the CN will be hosting our annual National Security Seminar at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. The seminar will begin at 10:00 a.m. and last until approximately 4:30 p.m. We will provide continental breakfast and lunch for participants. Spaces are still available, but are limited.
Speakers will include policy professionals, foreign correspondents, and U.S. government officials. The confirmed speakers for this year are Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute and Robert Reilly, author of The Closing of the Muslim Mind (the first 25 participants at the event will receive a copy of the book). Jeff Dressler from the Institute For the Study of War on Afghanistan, Roger Robinson on Eastern Europe, and Laura Blumenfeld, staff writer for The Washington Post will talk about her recent article "President Obama's Nighthawks: Top Security Officials Charged With Guarding the Nation's Safety."
If you are a student or journalist who is interested in attending, please e-mail cn@isi.org as soon as possible, as space is limited. Please note that commitment to this event is binding and that we will reserve spaces on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please join us in welcoming our newest program officer, Julianne Dudley. Julianne graduated from Villanova University in May 2010, where she earned a degree in English and Honors. As an undergraduate, Julianne was an editor for Villanova's CN member paper, The Villanova Times. Having interned with the CN the previous two summers, she brings a wealth of organizational memory to the ever-changing Network. Julianne will be in contact with CN editors throughout the year and will be traveling to campuses this fall.
Julianne may be reached via e-mail at jdudleyi@isi.org or phone at 302-524-6125.
Could the voters that sent Dick Gephardt to Washington 14 times ever vote for a Republican? 2010 would be the year to do it, and Ed Martin says he’s the Republican who can win Missouri’s Third Congressional District.
Traditional calendar students rang in a new school year Wednesday with events that ranged from the serious to the silly. At Root Elementary School in Raleigh, the 500 students started their morning with a rock concert. Principal Drew Ware grabbed his acoustic guitar, "Lisa," and serenaded them over the intercom with a school theme song he wrote to the tune of Hootie & The Blowfish's "Hold My Hand." Students sang along, knowing the words by heart.
What's the difference between a stark jail cell and the comforts of home? For a few lucky Dallas County criminals, the answer is nothing. Under the county's alternative sentencing plan, certain low-level offenders discharge their sentences under ankle-monitored house arrest, giving them the opportunity to keep their jobs, eat home-cooked meals and enjoy the interaction of family and friends.
Triangle college students racing to pick up textbooks this week are saving money through a number of alternatives to the old practice of buying new and used classroom tomes from campus bookstores. Students are increasingly able to rent books for the semester at up to half the list price or to purchase electronic texts on devices such as Kindle, Nook or iPad.
Forget Yankees-Red Sox. How's this for a feud? Tech-savvy New Yorkers are far likelier than San Franciscans to pick BlackBerrys over iPhones, according to a survey released yesterday.
