Convention delegates are virtually unanimous in their support for a studentwide referendum to approve the final constitution. They are also quick to claim the support of President Bok, Dean Epps--even though Rosovsky, in a reception at Dunster House last month, said, "It is absurd to assume that any organization could accurately reflect the views of Harvard's student body...
ALTHOUGH many of his ideas are absurd, they are all interesting. For instance, Toffler prefaced his stormy-weather warnings by questioning the validity of science and knowledge as our society conceives it.
