CollegeDenouncesBlackStudent’s Non-WhiteRoommateRequest
CLAREMONT, Calif. (AP) — A small liberal arts college near Los Angeles is denouncing a Facebook post made by a Black student who was seeking out a non-White roommate.
The Claremont Independent reports Pitz er College student Kare Urena asked in the post that only people of color
apply to live in her off- campus residence, adding that she didn’t “want to live with any White folks.”
Pitzer President Melvin Oliver calls the post “inconsistent with our mission and values.” He says the college wants to engage “com- plex intercultural issues, not to isolate individuals
on the basis of any pro- tected status.”
The Washington Post reports a roommate was found and the post has been removed, but Urena and another room- mate are defending it. They say living with peo- ple of color “can be nec- essary.”
Rio Diving Pool - Still Green - Now Closed And Smells Like Farts
BETH MOLE The outdoor Olympic diving pool, which turned a startling shade of green Tuesday, is now closed. It reportedly smells like farts and may be causing eye itchiness among ath- letes.
Since Tuesday, Olympic organizers have repeat- edly assured athletes and fans that the pool is safe and that the situa- tion was under control. Rio organizing commit- tee spokesman Mario Andrada told reporters on Wednesday that “the pool should go back to its classic blue color during the day.”
That clearly didn’t hap- pen. Instead, reports trickled in that the adja- cent pool used for water polo and synchronized swimming also began to
turn green.
The cause of the emer- ald tides is still murky. Officials have discusse- drunning out of an unnamed chemical used to treat the pool, algal blooms, too many peo- ple using the pool, and a pH imbalance. All of those may be factors. It’s conceivable that the organizers ran out of a chemical, such as muri- atic acid, used to bal- ance the pH of the pool, normally kept around seven, and wound up with a higher, alkaline pH. With the acidity out of whack, the disinfect- ing power of the chlo- rine would decrease and give algae a chance to get a foot in the door. When combined with hordes of microbe-toting swimmers and warm temperatures, all of this could lead to a jade
lagoon.
However, if the cause is known, it’s unclear why the situation hasn’t been remedied yet. And if the disinfection level was lowered, it would open the door to viruses and bacteria as well. That wouldn’t jibe with offi- cials’ confidence that the waters are safe.
Meanwhile, the women’s three-meter springboard prelims are planned to take place in the green diving pool today.
The eerie pool water is another drop in the bucket of health con- cerns at the Rio Olympics. Athletes com- peting in outdoor water sports have already been subjected to sewage, superbugs, and pollution.
