...weeks ago, and they got their first real exposure at Monday's student boycott/rally in the Yard. As an alternative to classes, the Coalition for Awareness and Action had organized a two-hour program of events to take place on the steps of Memorial Church, and after all the conga drums and mime had finished came the rock music of the Radios...
...drag. It's the thing that everyone waits for, and like the Orange Bowl halftime show, it gets more outrageous every year. "Immoral Code" starts out as harem burlesque, eases into "shake your baubels" Mediterranean disco, and before the night is over, we get the mombo, conga, meringue, and of course, the remedial can-can.

...school offer the student who attends it the opportunity' to participate in extracurricular activities; and, does the student have time to participate in those activities offered. The question of how the admissions office percieves those activities participated in by Third World students is also important. Is the conga player seen as important as the violin players?
