THERE ARE students at Harvard who are quite happy with the academic schedule. There are also people at Harvard whose heads, which normally store important stuff such as thinking goo, are currently filled with a substance of no merit whatsoever.

Were they sued for sex discrimination, the cost of a lawsuit might mean their financial ruin. The UC should step right in and buy them up--before the University has time to bail them out like they did the Hasty Pudding club. A new student center could be constructed on their land, or the buildings could be sold to pay for a student center on, say, the site of the Fly Club...
