...level of participation and the muted visibility of this feminist activism continue to plague Harvard. Oppenheim, perceiving women's groups merely to be a place for fuzzy self-esteem games, questions the existence of the Ann Radcliffe Trust at a time when advocates for women's issues should no longer remain silent. Oppenheim shows his lack of understanding when he asks, "As for the existence of 'emotional support,' don't we all need a bit of that?"

Thank goodness for folks like Shai M. Sachs '01. This past Sunday, Sachs, along with 23 other student representatives, voted to keep "Radcliffe" in the name of the Undergraduate Council.

However, Roedel and Holt merely receive injuries and miraculously, find themselves at the Shelley farm. Images of Jewel breast-feeding her child again distract the viewer and destroy whatever dramatic tension remains. In a contrived plot twist, Shelley maneuvers herself into matrimonial bliss with Roedel...
