...true that this fee constitutes the only source of support for student groups. There are grant programs from many sources within Harvard--through the Office for the Arts, through the Harvard Foundation, through the President's Public Service Fund, through the Student Activities Fund administered by Dean Illingworth and, starting next year when the separate RUS fee disappears, through the Ann Radcliffe Trust. There are also salaries and expenses for undergraduate activities that are paid directly by the College. Why shouldn't the College just take over the whole job of funding student groups...
...extracurricular; Harvard also provides a generous and uniform level of financial aid support, based solely on financial need but enabling different students to direct their expenditures and savings differently; and we put on the term bill a separate, optional fee which the elected student government will use to fund student groups, in addition to the support we already provide student groups through other channels. There are other ways to do things, but it's not obvious to me that any are, all things considered, superior to the present system...
...Greenpeace that pressured Gerber to drop genetically altered soybeans and corn from its baby foods and played a key role in forcing Monsanto to halt research on its self-sterilizing "terminator" seeds.

[But] I also think that there are some genuine food-safety and ecological issues that have to be dealt with...
...brass at Fidelity will cry foul, as may the entire mutual-fund industry, which is in sore need of a new superstar. But here goes, anyway: Give it up, Peter Lynch. This stuff about never having worked on a computer and wanting little to do with technology stocks is stale. Very stale. You've got good company in Warren Buffett, another totemic technophobe. And I'm not saying to load up exclusively on tech stocks. But it's plain silly to encourage plain folks to avoid them. They're not that difficult to understand. If you can figure out Maytag...
...embarassing for the president of the world's richest university. By liberal estimates, implementing a living wage at Harvard would cost the University $10 million annually. This amounts to three-fifths of 1 percent of Harvard's annual budget, and exactly equals the compensation paid the University's top fund manager in 1998. It is impossible for Rudenstine to argue that Harvard cannot afford a living wage. Had he come to our rally, we can only assume that he would have made the same four arguments which other administrators have made against the living wage. We would like to outline...
