...might ask, as a boredatlamont.com poster did, "WHY DON'T U JUST COME OUT ALREADY" (Nov. 12, 5:40 p.m.), but perhaps naive impatience isn't always the solution. It certainly wasn't for one Robert N. Dole '68—not the senator— whose sexual encounter with his Phillips Exeter roommate led to a complaint to the Exeter infirmary and eventually to intermittent psychotherapy during both Exeter and Harvard...
...Even in the mid-1960s Harvard wasn't much better, it seems. Dole wrote in his essay, "Homosexuality and Madness at Harvard," that in his second semester,"I became totally insane. I was driven out to McLean's Mental Hospital, where I ran around naked, shouting and banging my head.In my delirium, I saw one face that I recognized. He was looking down at me with pity, worry, and let us admit it: love.

Sure, Bob Dole once told me my shoes needed to be polished, I woke Senator Jesse Helms up from many a nap, and I watched on multiple occasions as Sen. Strom Thurmond pinched my fellow female pages' behinds. But none of these things happened far from the Senate floor, and I can't remember more than a handful of times in the Capitol that I wasn't well supervised...
...come to mind—can breathe easy. The Campus Life Committee that planned all those failures was jettisoned last May, and the new independently funded and elected College Events Board has replaced it. FiCom pools every student’s term bill fee and then decides how to dole out the money to student organizations. Some of this isn’t discretionary—House Committees and parties get a predetermined amount of money. But much of it relies on grant applications that FiCom members evaluate. The UC’s budget was $369,225 last year...
