...University. Of course, any administrative recognition of the deep seriousness of the problem is welcome. But given the background of Harvard's inaction on race-related issues; given the multiplication of racial incidents on other campuses, including recent convulsions at Williams College; and given the spread of racist violence in cities across America, many students rightly look askance at this merely symbolic act of support. Deans Epps, Fox, and Moses, President Horner, and general counsel Daniel Steiner '54 all should be devoting their energies to showing Third World and other minority groups that they are genuinely welcome here.

...rally before the Yale game--where about 300 students gathered in the Eliot-Kirkland-Winthrop triangle and then marched to the stadium--as a sign of how serious the fears of Black and other minority students have become, fears no longer only of discrimination but of overt racism and racist violence. In the past month, Lydia P. Jackson '82, president of the Black Students Association (BSA), has been the object of both a rape threat and a death threat.

The Depression was racist as well as naive, in the view Dames at Sea presents, and the former attribute is not particularly laughable. After the Asian-American Association protested a similarly offensive stereotype in last spring's Pudding Show, it is astonishing that the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, which oversaw the production of Dames...
