...Gaudio had been listening to Phil Spector's productions for the Crystals and Ronettes; the arrangement is both burlier and more complex. The song begins with a snatch of spoken doggerel ("Pretty eyes of midsummer's morn, / They call her Dawn"). Then the drummer has a quick snit fit, and organ and chimes lead into the plaint, "Dawn, go away, I'm no good for you," as a guitar strums 2/4 Latino figures. There are six different melodic elements-hard to call anything in this song a chorus, a verse or a bridge-under the strong harmonic vocals...
...quite ancillary to our argument. We merely believe that any overt and rigid requirements alienating a portion of the student body should not be condoned by funding derived from the entire undergraduate population.

It is vital that the UC not give money to organizations that choose to rely on artificial constitutional distinctions rather than the choice of its members for the election of its officers.

The guiding principles give way to a small treatise on the environment that dominates the third...
...culturally French either," says the ebullient Vitali. Inspired and driven teachers, more experienced cops, and above all an increase in decent jobs accessible to project residents are urgently needed to reverse the growing alienation and defiance of banlieue youths, but locals must also demonstrate desire to fit in on society's terms as well. "This culture and attitude of exclusion have made some even well-education people here unemployable," Vitali notes. Ouzaanik isn't one of those, and the smart, witty student says he dreams of acting as the first span in a bridge linking Blois' estranged populations. "The banlieues...
