Surprisingly, S.D.S. at the University of Iowa is stronger than at Berkeley, where the local chapter is lost in a welter of radical campus groups. To raise funds, says Graduate Student Leonard Goldberg, 22, Berkeley's S.D.S. is often reduced to "throwing a party, charging a dollar a head and serving cheap beer."
