...Hall. Harvard's administrators and planners claim that since the Union is being moved, the 90-foot-long hall--which has hardwood paneling, an extravagant plaster ceiling, and stone fireplaces, and which has served as a gathering place for Harvard students for 100 years--is expendable. They want to rip out the hall's decoration and subdivide it into offices. Before this happens we can only hope that the administration comes to its senses. The hall should be preserved not only became it is a space of enormous architectural and historical importance, but also because it could become a setting...

In "Priscilla," they are on their way to put on a drag show at a hotel in the middle of nowhere; in To Wong Foo, they are going to compete in a national drag queen pageant in L.A.

...year, but they come back to finish up those last three credits, and do you know why? Because they'd be afraid to look Joe in the eye if they didn't. Other schools have graduation rates of 30 or 40 percent. It's a sin; it's a rip-off. It gives me a pit in my stomach to think about what goes on elsewhere...
