Left with a choice of ineffective and token addressing of the problem, or no addressing at all, the convention chose the latter, eliminating any reference to minority representation, but with an important addition. If, as is likely, the Council will fail to represent portions of the student population, those individuals should not be forced to pay for a government which will act, at worst, against their interests, and at best, indifferently to their interests. Therefore, the convention unanimously voted to drop all reference to minority representation and allow any student who feels unrepresented by the Council to receive a full...
...test of that sort of causal theory is whether it works at the individual level, whether harsh personal misfortune really causes epiphany or just pragmatic accommodation. The jury is still out on which one 1980's political turnabout represented, but I'll hazard a guess that it was the latter, lesser phenomenon.

Unfortunately, the latter project remains unknown to many members of the Harvard community. Students and faculty members are asked to fill out questionnaires listing the languages they speak and the issues and regions that interest them, and the resulting information is fed into a computer. Then, if a student is working on a paper or project with international dimensions and needs additional sources or advice, he asks the computer.

The remainder would go to finance a few strtictly segregated hospitals and schools. These latter projects can do little to alleviate the catastrophic conditions in which apartheid has placed millions of Blacks. The Black infant mortality rate is six times greater than that for whites: two million bantustan inhabitants live in constant danger of starvation. In the face of all this, anyone attempting to represent the Citibank...
...both Providence and Colgate lose. Harvard would knock the latter out of the playoffs and the former down to the eight spot and finish seventh, thereby meeting the number two team (Northeastern, New Hampshire or B.C.) in the first round of the playoffs rather than traveling to top-ranked Clarkson...
