Though the exact date seems to be lostin a file cabinet on the third floor of UniversityHealth Services (or at least in the memories ofthe Blondie generation), in the early 1980s PeerContraceptive Counselors (PCC) became the firstpeer counseling group to begin doing outreaches.According to Nadja B. Gould, a social worker atUniversity Health Services and a supervisor of thepeer counseling groups, PCC started theiroutreaches after hearing of a similar program thatwas successful at Dartmouth. There, outreachessurrounded kegs at fraternities. PCC went tofirst-year entries, where kegs were absent andCoke and pretzels took their place...
...legitimacy by downplaying many of the false assumptions in his work, emphasizing its factual elements, and ignoring substantive scientific rebuke. For example, in his Institute of Politics speech, Murray largely avoided the subject of race, and did not answer the stinging criticism of Agassiz Professor of Zoology Stephen J. Gould. He has claimed that The Bell Curve is not about race, but Adolf Hitler could have made that argument about Mein Kampf.

Murray admitted to having read the article, presumably months ago, yet inexplicably chose not to address any of Gould's points...
...performance at the forum was a rather uninspired, and uninspiring, bit of fluff. The only interesting comments of the evening came from Gould. Every interested person who missed the debate should read his comments in the The New Yorker. Given the chance to relive Tuesday evening, I would have elected to stay home and carefully read Gould's article to get some real intellectual debate...
