The Coalition for Diversity is the group that regulates the diversity of the student body and faculty of Boalt Hall, Law School. It was re-founded in 2000 from the group then known as the Coalition for a Diverse Faculty and Student Body. Its major aim is to overturn the effects of Proposition 209, which prohibits public institutions from discriminating on the basis of race, sex or ethnicity.
It sprang up in the depressed, yet oppressive, atmosphere of a post-affirmative action California. While the Coalition's original mission was one of racial justice, it quickly evolved into a group that fought for greater inclusiveness for all marginalized communities including women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, as well as persons with disabilities and the socio-economically oppressed.
The group struggled to find a foothold under a hostile law school administration, but eventually went on to foster greater communication between students of color, to put into place mechanisms of student governance that embraced a more diverse student body, to make strong fundraising recommendations that led to a stronger social justice and public interest presence at the law school, to implement administrative changes leading to the hiring of more diverse faculty members, and finally to inspire law student involvement in the Grutter v. Bollinger case which determined the future of affirmative action in the Supreme Court of the United States. Specifically, the Coalition dealt with the question of "How to use the Master's Tools without Becoming the Master?" While no answer to this question has been found completely satisfactory, the Coalition was forged in the heat of different types of activism. Student activists struggled between embracing a more traditional civil rights route of systematic and systemic legal approaches AND taking the renowned "black-armband approach" which required both fluidity and a certain chaos.
The Coalition was a hotbed of identity issues, including forcing different communities to engage with the issues concerning privilege, racism, classism, homophobia and sexism in other people's communities. Today, the Coalition still has a presence at the UC Berkeley campus which, while it wanes in times of indifference, is always ready to become strong whenever its membership feels inspired by a sense of injustice. The Coalition for Diversity is a symbol for law students everywhere that the law itself is carried by the spirit of the people the law governs. By requiring the hard work of examining the self and differences within selves, the Coalition was ultimately a training ground for future leaders in the movement of justice.

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the Thrum Worm is a Magical beast. They are an unusual, giant breed of worm used by gnomes as mounts.
Physical Description
Thrum Worms grow to around 8-10 feet long and weigh up to 200 pounds when fully grown. They are segmented. They have dry, rubbery, orange-brown hides and smell of soil. Their heads are somewhat snake-like, but are not sinister or sly looking, instead being somewhat docile and natural looking. A Thrum Worm's mouth has two rows of very small teeth that it can tuck inside its mouth when shooting its sonic ray.
Society
Thrum Worms are unusual, slow-moving worms often used by specialized gnome cavalry. The gnomes take advantage of the worms' burrowing abilities in several ways. In times of peace, they use their unique mounts to find ore and mineral deposits, and in times of war, they burrow behind enemy lines and infiltrate enemy encampments.
A Thrum Worm can be trained with the use of the Handle Animal skill. Riding a Thrum Worm requires an exotic saddle or a specialized burrower's saddle. They are somewhat easier to tame and ride than other Magical beasts.
Combat
Thrum Worms generally avoid combat when they can. When forced to fight by a burrowing predator or when directed to fight by a rider or handler, the Thrum Worm relies on its sonic ray as its primary attack form.
The sonic ray can be fired from a Thrum Worm's mouth once per day, with a range of 30 feet and no range increment.

Cameron Loewenstein (born Oct 6, 1982) is a 25-year old film editor, based in Hollywood, California. Cameron grew up in various parts of Moreno Valley, CA, before attending high school at St. Helena High in the Napa Valley region of California. After attaining his BFA in Film Editing from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he has worked for a number of years cutting various projects in Los Angeles, primarily shorts and feature length films, with the occasional music video thrown in every now and then. Often working alongside long time friend and Sundance Film Festival award-achieving cinematographer Ian S. Takahashi, he is dedicated to the editing form. In 2005, he and his comrades collaborated with Bobcat Goldthwait on the feature film "Sleeping Dogs Lie" (then called "Stay"), an Official Selection at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. In 2006 he won the Elevate Film Festival's award for "Best Editing" in the narrative category for the short piece "Player's Club." Also that year, he was the author of an article in volume 14 of Digital Video Magazine on Noise Industries' AVX plug-in package entitled "Factory Tools" for Mac-based Avid NLEs. In 2007, he was the editor for a feature film documentary "Tom Sawyer's Funny Business" about the early stand-up comedy scene in the late 70s of San Francisco, CA. He is currently putting the finishing touches on a feature film tentatively entitled "Faux," due to debut later in 2008.
