...biggest surprise about this year's Harvard women's lacrosse squad is the fact that of the three leading scorers who return from last year's squad, two are not currently on the varsity squad. Claire Farley and Alicia Clifton, the second and third leading scorers who return from last years 12-2 Ivy champion squad are currently playing jayvee...
Whether that say, a lot about the Crimson's depth is still unclear, but what is certain is that the Harvard offense is very young. Replacing Farley and Clifton, as well as last year's leading scorer--Maggic Hart--are freshmen Kate Felsen and Cynthia Ersek and sophomore Kedy McBride...
...seems my comments in The Crimson (February 25) on the cosmopolitan imperative as a viable lifestyle at elite colleges did precisely what I had hoped they would do--provoke counter reflections by the ethnocentric spokespersons among Black students like Anthony Ball, Timothy Wilkins, Alan Shaw, and Christopher Farley. But these counter reflections radiated more heat than enlightenment, and while I'm not against some heat in such discussions it should be used to sharpen and advance enlightenment--not obscure and hinder it. I have several comments to offer by way of rebuttal...

Though the quintet and Alan Shaw disagree with me--owing perhaps to their low leadership expectations of Black students--I still consider it a pathetic and disorienting contradiction for Black students with ethnocentric identities to ask others (whites) to generate resources to sustain their parochial preferences...
...poor to parity in average standard of living available in our affluent country. No doubt some contribution to the future leadership capacity of Black students is available through the kind of neighborhood-uplift activity that Seymour Society students do, and though the quintet of the Black Students Association (and Farley-Shaw-Kearney, too) aren't aware of it I helped to stimulate the founding of Harvard Seymour Society. I encouraged them when they needed encouragement and fed the founding members at meals at my house and at lunches in Harvard Square that I paid...
