As accurate, high-speed weigh-in-motion systems emerge, the lack of an accepted international standard is leading to growing frustration among industry stakeholders. James Allen reports on the situation and asks whether a solution to the issue can be found

This chapter extends Chapter 4’s examination of the impact of colonial schooling on Assia Djebar, Mohammed Dib, Albert Memmi and other writers. It reflects on what went on inside the classroom, and speculates on what it was, even in a colonial education, that made it fruitful, at least in some respects, for some students. It begins by considering the dynamics – inadvertent and perverse from a colonial perspective – that sometimes made French schooling positively politicizing for colonized students, notably in relation to notions of nationalism, national identity and language politics. It then focuses on writers’ accounts of studying the French language and French literature, evidently a key part of the process, educational and psychological, that brought into being their ‘francophone’ works, which duly reflect back on their colonial/literary/educational experiences. In these ways the chapter explores how some of the children subjected to colonial schooling became some of its most astute critics, as well as its greatest success stories; and how French/colonial schooling helped shape the forms and fictions of self-reinvention for which many of the writers are known.

DECEMBER 2004 n W 3 he holiday season always seems to bring just enough hard-won perspective to inspire fresh assessments of the dwindling year and predictions for the one to come. That’s why we’ve handed the lion’s share of our December issue to regular netWorker contributor and keen observer of digital culture Aaron Weiss for his “Trends for 2005” cover story. Perhaps the most telling of Weiss’s observations involves the big picture: Virtually all the current trends in computing lead back to the quality, efficiency, or security of our “connectedness.” When netWorker was launched eight years ago, network computing was a field filled with obvious potential. Now it defines the digital realm, and it in no small measure shapes the day-to-day lives of people all over the world. That reality has, in turn, reflected back on the computing industries. Focus has only recently shifted away from purely technical achievements in favor of a new awareness and understanding of the way people actually use their computers. According to Weiss, relatively new technologies such as broadband-over-powerline (BPL) and the satellite-based WildBlue will vie for the right to bring broadband access to a public that has been less than thrilled by their choices in this area. Meanwhile, Yahoo! And Microsoft are among the companies proposing new email authentication systems in an effort to thwart the public’s single biggest source of online angst: email fraud and spam. And companies far and wide are devising ingenious new ways to give people the mobile media and gaming they want. It’s all quite enough to make one look forward to the surprises that 2005 will inevitably bring. Real progress may come slowly, but it’s generally worth the wait. Now, if we could just fix those digital voting machines...

Henry announced he’d taken the DuBois Club decision out of Millet’s hands and passed it to a committee of the board of trustees. Millet appeared relieved to be done with it. The president had faced situations of this nature in the past and successfully managed through them. Tensions between campus activists and university administrators increased, as evidenced in a Millet appearance at an SDS meeting that only served to agitate his audience. His talk was criticized in a Daily Illini editorial that alluded to “Berkeley riots.”
