Nevertheless, Bok and Fox should go beyond their statements of last week. Although helpful in alerting students to offensive behavior, the public declarations do not explore why such attitudes exist, and how they might be changed. The University's implicit acceptance and subsidization of all male clubs--including the Pi Eta as well as nine final clubs--probably has something to do with it.

And when he says he will accept their decision, for example, about the meaningless Sullivan code-of-corporation behavior in South Africa, he lies and the University maintains investments in companies which fail to sign the Sullivan principles.

Twelve men and ten women dance to the music of their times: the Popular Front of 1936, the Occupation of 1940, the Liberation of '44, the G.I. invasion of '46, the first rock-'n'-roll siege in '56, the student uprising of May '68, all as refracted through the cracked prism of the Mitterrand...
