People have many different interpretations of the word "diversity." By definition, diversity encompasses all of the ways that human beings are both similar and different with respect to race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religious and cultural beliefs, disabilities, language and socioeconomic status. Diversity includes everyone. THE RED RIVER COLLEGE'S NEWSPAPER The primary dimensions of diversity are the things we bring with us to the work and learning environment: our age, ethnicity, gender, physical ability and sexual orientation. Each of these dimensions, with the exception of PRO JECTOR physical ability, is unalterable. Each strongly influences us as individuals. The secondary dimensions of diversity that significantly shape our behaviours and attitudes include our geographic origin, level of education and income, marital and parental status, religious beliefs and work experience.

Don't let the skinny ties and shag haircuts fool you. Washington state's Loudermilk is far more Motley Crile than mod, and this is not a good thing. Through the majority of the Red Record's fourteen tracks singer Davey Ingersoll delivers his pseudo-poetic rants like a hyper-emotive Vince Neil, overtop of some of the most impotent metal riffs I've hears in a long time. In fairness, Loudermilk does fare better in quieter moments, like Mai and 97 Ways To Kill A Rockstar, showcasing some interesting arrangements and f ate atmospheric touches.
