...beyond a reasonable doubt," the reform in the rape law itself is long overdue. Marriage vows do not entail the right to sexually assault one's partner. Criminal codes that support such a notion clearly suggest the idea of "mate as chattel" rather than the American ideal of equal protection under...
Warnke can argue the numbers of missiles and nuclear warheads. He sees the U.S. as the overall equal to the Soviet Union, though the two have a different mix of weapons. He has little doubt that without the treaty both nations would be forced to arm faster. But a compelling part of his message has nothing to do with hardware and dollar signs.

So, instead of responding to such a charge--like many students have--by finding worthwhile causes such as the South Africa anti-apartheid movement or equal rights for women. The Crimson and a select group of others decided to identify with and fight for a dead issue. The CRR as an administration's tool to harass students with unpopular political leanings is no longer an issue, ladies and gentlemen. Times have changed...
