Last week the U.S. found itself abruptly rushed into action. The rising hullabaloo from aid workers, news reports and foreign governments warned of an imminent holocaust among the Hutu refugees. The advocates clamored for immediate military intervention to save them. The news and pictures out of Zaire certainly looked sickening. Some 500,000 Hutu were said to be huddled in the Mugunga camp, held captive by Hutu militias, cut off from food deliveries. As they do so often, the images began to galvanize political leaders. Aid officials called for immediate help, France demanded action, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali...
These were, as he might say, fluid years for Gingrich. As a student and, later, professor, Gingrich was no conservative firebrand; at Tulane, he admits, he smoked pot; protested the Administration's decision to censor a photo of a nude sculpture in the school newspaper, the Hullabaloo; and generally maintained a high profile as a Rockefeller Republican, serving as the Louisiana coordinator of that campaign in 1968.

Therefore, we decided to cut off both the left and the right wings of the extremist movement and create two centrist blocs, because as you understand, one centrist bloc would be too big.

The fact that Fine and Taylor lost hard-fought battles for HRRC offices last semester does indicate that the HRAC might be a power play on their part. Still, nothing will happen until the Committee on College Life approves the organization's constitution...
Amid all the hullabaloo over sophomore quarterback stars last year (Jay Fiedler of Dartmouth, and Mike Giardi of Harvard) last year, Lazor's name was conspicuously absent, even though the Cornell signalcaller recorded some impressive stats: first in Ivy total offense per game (198.9 yards); school records for completions in a game (31) vs. Brown and most 300-yard passing games...
