...field hockey player at North House, and I'm worried. Our bathrooms are coed (my parents don't know), and yesterday I saw one of the new sophomore football players go into the shower with an industrial-sized bottle of shampoo. While I was blow drying my hair, I saw him stumble out of the shower stall, smiling and singing "10,000 Men of Harvard."

This isn't music to write poetry...
Feel as if the collective spirit of rock has suddenly been hot-wired for social activism? Fine. Think this will blow over in a little, and everything will settle down? Think again; that is not going to happen for a while. There are two immediate reasons why: the release the week of Oct. 14 of an impassioned all-star antiapartheid record, Sun City, and the congenial reverberations from last week's FarmAid, the concert that featured top rock and country-and-western talent drumming up support for the American farmer. Both the Sun City record and the FarmAid concert, held...
