...campaign that Evan Grossman joins began last winter when the Committee on College Life recommended that the University divorce itself from the Clubs if they refused to admit women. Even the metropolitan press showed mild interest. Before the issue was finally joined, however, the Clubs acted unilaterally to sever the ties. (Which consisted, apparently, of access to alumni mailing lists and the privilege of renting phones and buying heat through the University. Plus, according to a recent re-run of old revelations, the Fly Club's use of a strip of university land as part of its "members' only" garden...
...wrong, as witness Jeanne Wirka, president of the Radcliffe Union of Students, quoted in the January-February 1985 issue of Harvard Magazine: "The problem with clubs is that they are denigrating to the outgroup in general.

Under withering cross- examination, however, he admitted that his knowledge of both organizations was limited to a reading of their literature and other research materials. Finally, two weeks ago, De Vries was forced to admit that his previous testimony had contained "fundamental mistakes...
...second reason--the ethical grounds--is probably the more operative. According to the same official, Harvard did not want to be "associated with a pot company." Well that certainly sounds reasonable, one must admit, picturing the images conjured up by such a phrase. Of course, just as Harvard would not hold stock in a company whose agents sell loose joints to unsuspecting children, the University does not want any connection to a firm that claims--and trumpets--its links to the substance with which loose joints are made. And how do we know that McKinney won't diversify...
