Undergraduate Council delegates to the recently formed Boston Area Student Coalition (BASC) last week cancelled a debate on the bill when the amendment's sponsor, Rep. Gerald B.H. Solomon (R-N.Y.), said he would not be able to come to Harvard before...
...that restricting the expenditures of those independent committees was a violation of their freedoms of speech and association rights. However, the "independent" status of the PACs which supported Ronald Reagan in 1980 to the tune of $21.5 million is a matter of some debate. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), honorary chairman of the Congressional Club PAC, said it quite well...
...yearly legal immigration at the current level of 425,000 persons, and an amnesty for some illegal immigrants now living in the United States. Sens. Gary Hart (D-Colo.) and Edward M.

It grants only official residency status--not citizenship--and forbids food stamps and Medicaid to any such persons. Still, even the limited...

The IEA, led by conservatives like William F. Buckley, William E. Simon, and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.), set up shop after the 1980 elections in order to foster the growth of papers like The Review on colleges campuses around the country. So far, IEA has been fairly successful--new conservative student papers have sprung up at Harvard and Williams, as well as at Dartmouth...
