...same religious powers as any male priest. However, women usually do not leap and jump directly in front of the altar because they may "agitate" the male devotees, Garuda says. Many of the women dance behind the men and watch over their children during the aroti, signifying a somewhat different role, even within the movement...
...provide for such student representation, and also turned their backs on a host of other recommendations including the establishment of a departmental by-pass mechanism. This merely added insult to injury. The total indifference of the Faculty Council to student opinions can do nothing but foment a somewhat cynical and defiant attitude among students. It becomes difficult for students to discern the differences between liberal Harvard and their equally paternalistic high schools back home. Representation on these committees would be a token of the acknowledgement that students have influence on the choice of courses they are required to take...
...Marchais insisted that the takeover of the nine companies also include their 1,450 subsidiaries, the Socialists refused, and the leftist coalition fell apart. Marchais also demanded a system of workers' councils in public and private industry that would virtually guarantee control by Communist-dominated unions.

And as they became breadwinners, they gained more respect...
...cover, arts on the back page set-up, the Voice has run some highly suspect cover stories. Three weeks ago, for example, there was a story called "Asexuality: Nobody's Doing It," and last week there was a long piece about the Boston sex scandal, an interesting, if somewhat lurid story. Of course, the story happened three months ago--and in Boston, not New York. The Voice seems occasionally hell-bent on titillating its readers as much as possible, even at the expense of its solid and well-deserved reputation. Fortunately, some of the Voice columnists, including Nat Hentoff, have...
