INFORMATION ON campus sentiment toward divestment has come in three principal chunks in the last year--the Undergraduate Council (UC) referendum last fall, a random Crimson telephone poll last spring, and various Southern Africa Solidarity Committee (SASC) petitions, like those now circulating in the dining halls and at the Law School...
