Epps raised specific questions about the disco dance, and cited equally specific University rules. For instance, Harvard regulations prohibit a group from using the school name to promote a commercial venture. Last minute negotiations Sunday assuaged Epps' fears about student safety at a large and, in his eyes, potentially rowdy event. A meeting between Epps and party organizers this week straightened out many similar bureaucratic tangles...
...Student Assembly funds have been spent on the party. "Boston-Boston is paying for everything, from the invitations to the transportation," Carpenter said.

...Everything is Turning to Gold" offers the same delights as Some Girls: the sinuous harmonica of the previously anonymous Sugar Blue, a rejuvenated Mick Jagger, and an astounding Charlie Watts, the once and future King of the Skins. Characterized by the savage disco backbeat that marked the Some Girls dancing cuts and a tongue-in-cheek Motown chorus, the song also echoes the Goat's Head Soup album, particularly "Dancing with Mr. D." The theme, however, is unmistakably Some Girls--Bianca in particular...
