NONE THE LESS, THE isolated atmosphere bred by Harvard present us with a host of challenges that begin with one dilemma, how to seek social consciousness without preaching, hectoring, of hypocrisy. Most Harvard students I know want something more out of life than self enrichment, but what is the personal price they are willing to pay to achieve this...
...keeping protest alive. So far, Jaruzelski has been performing his high-wire balancing act with great skill, at some cost to Communist orthodoxy: the current trial of members of the secret police for the murder of Government Critic Father Jerzy Popieluszko is unprecedented in any Communist state.

Rather, they are primarily concerned with sex and race discrimination and believe that legislation requiring equal pay for comparable work will resolve that dilemma. But sex and race are only a small piece of the pie when it comes to determining wages; employers must also consider skill, performance, supply and demand. To ignore the market values on labor would be fallacious; it would compromise our entire economic-system. If the jobs which women predominantly...
