What's the appeal? On one level a tale of plangent melodrama: a group with three Jewish and three Gentile members trying to stand tall and cool under the Nazi boot. The Comedian Harmonists had some friends in high places, including Gauleiter Julius Streicher. At one concert a punk in the balcony shouted venom about the dirty Jews, but the Nazi brass in the front rows stood and cheered the group until the punk shut...
...Julius Miller, a former Manhattan Borough President, was mentioned in passing last week because Mayor Rudolph Giuliani--living proof that not all American boys absorbed Joe DiMaggio's example of doing whatever you do with grace and dignity--took the occasion of Joltin' Joe's death to push the idea of naming the West Side Highway the Joe DiMaggio Highway, and Governor George Pataki resisted that in favor of a freeway in the Bronx.

Further, while we all love the food court atmosphere of Loker Commons-all it lacks is an Orange Julius-it doesn't quite cut it as spot for students to congregate and relax. We need a lounge with TV's, pool tables, foosball, perhaps even a few video game machines...
