...call for the Board to assume a permanent role in electing Corporation members. University governance is handled primarily by the Corporation. Giving the Board of Overseers a significant role in the selection of the Corporation's membership will certainly invigorate the long-dormant Board.

Volunteers compile membership lists, sell buttons and recruit organizers, even though the government harasses and sometimes detains lower-level party workers.

...associated with any final club, nor do I intend to join one. If I ever join a club, it will be a membership that I've earned through achievement, not through my mommy or daddy. I believe all-male final clubs are the unhealthy symptom of society's sexism. That is my opinion on the issue. I hope I have proved myself not apathetic. I just happen to disagree. Louis M. Green...
