...events which successfully mobilized students this year--the grape debate and a protest of a speech by Chinese President Jiang Zemin--stemmed from students' personal connections to the issue at hand, says Campos...
...hands in one of the biggest nationally-organized student movements since anti-apartheid in the '80s. This kind of student discussion is especially needed at Harvard, where no one seems to have a good answer for questions like: Why do we still have the Core? What happened with the grape vote? Or even, did we just almost go to war with Iraq...
...BGLTSA to endorse political movements that are not directly related to legitimizing same-sex sexual interaction is dishonest. Last semester, during my tenure on the BGLTSA executive board, Co-Chair Andre Sulmers and other board members decided that BGLTSA should join RAZA in the anti-grape movement.

United Farm Workers (UFW) purported to speak on behalf of Mexican migrant and immigrant grape workers and for improved labor conditions (never mind that most grape workers chose not to join the UFW). It is less clear what motivated groups like UNITE, Education 4 Action, Phillips Brooks House Association, the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance, and Ballet Folkorico de Aztlan. (Those last two seem especially peculiar, but hey, why exclude people from the party...
