those of us that graduate from great institutions like denison had the most options.for us. we have more chances to become what we dream of becoming, but if all we do is focus on ourselves -- everything is an iphone, and i've hapad -- they e all i-something, but what happens to the rest of the country? who will be there to represent all americans? of all of the state legislators in this country, only 8% are black. 3% latino, 1% indian. 87% of the state legislators are white. who lives below the poverty level in this country? 24% of blacks and latinos live below the poverty level. how many whites? 9%. something is wrong with this, right? 75% of americans who come from wealthier backgrounds will get a bachelor's degree by the time they're 24 years old. compare that to 9% of americans who come from a low socieconomic background. we would be wrong to imagine that the issues that we need to address are defined solely by race and class. gender, sexuality, religion, nationality are all important in understanding the community. are we ok here? in my view, we're not ok. 40 per
