...birth and regeneration of not a few liberal and left-leaning student groups. While professors and University administrators fretted over the hefty cuts anticipated in federal grants to universities, students began to protest the Reagan foreign policy, focusing on United States' involvement in El Salvador. In March, a candlelight rally sponsored by the newly formed Committee on El Salvador attracted more than 1800 protesters, making it the largest demonstration at Harvard since students rallied in the spring of 1978 against the University's policy on investments concerning South Africa. In early May, dozens of students traveled to the nation...
These whimsical, if melancholy, statistics are cited by Market Strategist Raymond DeVoe, 51, writing in the April issue of Inc., a magazine for the small businessman. Serious passion, DeVoe has found, is even more pricey than casual dalliance. A candlelight dinner at an excellent New York restaurant, about $18 then, now costs $80 (up 344%). If music be the food of love, one might be tempted to tell the circling violinists to play on. The problem is the tip: $5, up 900% from the 50? that would have satisfied a '50s fiddler.

...Assembly rush to demand Bok's reassertion of the goal of diversity in admissions? What about draft registration, especially the university's role in turning over names?

Apparently, obtaining toilet paper for the river houses and throwing cocktail parties at 33 Dunster Street are the Assembly...
...people had ever heard of Karen Silkwood on that fatal winter day, but over the next five years her death sparked rallies and candlelight processions in New York, Chicago, St. Petersburg and Cleveland. A symbol for the feminists, the environmentalists, and the labor movement, her name was shouted at Seabrook and invoked in union halls. In 1979, when a federal court jury found Kerr-McGee guilty of negligience and awarded the Silkwood estate $10.5 million in damages, her picture made the front pages of papers across the nation. She became what Richard Rashke calls "a nuclear martyr...
...between--it is to be credited with helping win free toilet paper for the River Houses, and last year it staged a rock concert and a poorly attended spring picnic. Of late the assembly has grown even more timid; last week it refused to endorse the candlelight march against aid to El Salvador--as positive a student effort as this University has seen in three years--for fear of taking what one member called a "political stand...
