...community seems to be bifurcating between the civil rights activists chiefly concerned with broader world and those who keep their eye trained primarily on Harvard. Before the early 1980s, when gay rights at Harvard gained momentum, a small, all-male, all-white social group called the Gay Students Association (GSA) existed, unrecognized by the College, in relative anonymity because members feared being outed in a climate hostile toward homosexuality. Former GSA president Benjamin H. Schatz ’81 shook up the campus’ major gay organization by incorporating women and playing up the group’s political...
...Undergraduate Life (CHUL) took a deep breath and plunged into a swamp of parliamentary detail, emerging not with an affirmation of the rights of campus gay students but instead with a paper solution that will please only administrators embarrassed by discussion of the issue. The Gay Students Association (GSA) several weeks ago asked Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, for permission to enclose a leaflet in registration packets.

"Any chance of slipping into the election reform bill?" Volz replied, "The election reform negotiators have been meeting all weekend and may be close to agreement. This means we would have to move asap." "You are wonderful," Abramoff responded...
...with the attempt to lift the Tigua casino ban, the effort to get explicit Congressional action on Abramoff's behalf failed. But as far as Safavian is concerned the damage was done. Four days later he wrote a letter to an ethics officer at GSA asking permission to go on the Scotland trip and said airfare would be paid for by a "lobbyist" who "has no business before GSA." The Justice department cited this as evidence of obstruction and making false statements on Safavian's part when it indicted him last year. Safavian goes on trial May 22. Safavian...
