Plainly, it is going to be difficult for Coop members like Molyneux to accomplish some of the changes they would like to see in the cooperative. But that doesn't mean they're not trying. In recent elections a group of students have formed a slate of candidates to run for the Board of Directors on a reform platform. Several members of the "Coop Group," as they call themselves, won spots on the Board in the past two years. These reformers have a long way to go--but at least it's a start...
...group sets out to make Harvard "understand" depends a lot on the group. Few students seem to relish the idea of planning a massive protest, or, for that matter, a crawl-in. Last year those with the power or means to accomplish their goals through a little quiet lobbying seemed more than willing to resort only to that...

Its two most hotly debated provisions are a ceiling on total yearly legal immigration at the current level of 425,000 persons, and an amnesty for some illegal immigrants now living in the United States.

Daniel Weil, a former Chicago warden and prosecutor, is clear-sighted...
...poles. Now the women look and go crazy. 'Look at those legs!' they shout. 'Way to go!' " It is the way those aristocrats of physical culture, the modern and ballet dancers, have always gone. Says Impresario Paul Taylor: "The dancer's body is superb as a functioning instrument to accomplish physical feats." Deb bie Allen, who plays a dance teacher and serves as choreographer on the NBC-TV series Fame, sees dancing as "a precision art. Doing the things your body might not want to do keeps your mind alert and elevated." And, as Choreographer Patricia Birch (Grease) notes, "other...
