In light of the need, and desire, for a Harvard Student Center, the Undergraduate Council has called on the University for the following: make the Student center a priority on the next capital campaign and thereby commit to a timetable for its construction, hire an architect and begin drafting plans, and establish a planning committee with student members. By agreeing to take these steps, the administration will have acknowledged the pressing needs felt on campus and will also have begun the process of returning its focus towards improving the quality of undergraduate life on this...

And I've got some Quayle jokes he's just going to love...
...expansion and limitless export markets for industrial goods and consumer durables into a globally competitive economy that is as nimble as the rapidly changing marketplace demands. To make it work, he has placed his bets on creating a flexible, U.S.-style labor market in which companies are free to hire and fire as they please. He also needs people who are willing to adapt to new realities. Koreans like Chung "are breaking the old attitudes," Kim told TIME. "They have the frontier spirit...
