Such is the perverse world of Harvard extracurriculars. Organizations you might think would want all the help they can get still put their members through layer after layer of selection. I cannot count the number of rounds of interviews and applications I've gone through since that September. First-years beware, it will happen to you; stick around long enough, and you might even get to interview someone who once interviewed...
...constant flow of cash into the political system, and the accompanying exchange of favors, influence, and access, reduces the political importance of those who cannot afford large donations and makes a mockery of the principle of "one man, one vote." Special interests would not give so much money if they did not feel they received benefits in return; companies in various industries, from tobacco to gambling to oil and mining interests, have received favorable treatment from legislators following their campaign donations...

MAKE IT EASY Choose a variety of garments, including jumpers, overalls, shorts and skorts, as well as skirts and pants, in classic, comfortable styles. Jayne White, an education professor at Missouri's Drury College, believes that young people cannot appear to be "walking robots--they need to keep some identity of their own." The clothes should be made by various companies and be available in many local stores in a wide price range. With the help of community groups and fund raisers, your school should be able to provide uniforms to families who cannot afford them and to keep some...
