...subcommittee was convened to address College recognition of student groups and the issue of student group proliferation. But according to Associate Dean of the College Judith H. Kidd, the subcommittee found Harvard was “not out of line” with its peer institutions in this respect, so no changes were recommended. Yesterday, members discussed potential reasons for the increase in the number of student groups in recent years.

...wrong—to be, even, stupid, and sometimes, even to be insensitive. I don’t think humor can properly operate within the line if it can’t cross the line…I guess I think more harm has been done by respect in the world than disrespect. FM: Do you think comedians should avoid things like religion? Do you think it’s okay to mock things that some people consider “transcendental” and holy? MANKOFF: That which is put forward without evidence can be dismissed without evidence...
