...argument goes, benefit from the program as much as women could. But allowing men into the program would immediately alter the dynamic. The Science Alliance is an alliance of those facing similar discrimination. While clearly the male participants would not be perpetrators of such discrimination, they do not suffer from it directly. Women, especially women in a highly competitive environment such as Harvard's, often feel that voicing concerns about discrimination and inequity will be viewed by their male peers as an excuse for falling short of a science program's exacting standards.

And so there was always a gaggle of us around MARTA DORION, waiting for some tidbit to waft through her smoke-filled office, a last refuge for cigarette lovers here at TIME.

...presidential candidates. John A. Burton '01 made the key point that "the UC is invisible" to the campus. Indeed, Burton's recent dismissal from the council for lack of attendance can now clearly be disregarded as blatant, unfair discrimination. The council's invisibility understandably prevented Burton, who may also suffer from poor vision, from finding his way to the meeting. In his quest to "make [the council] visible," Burton can help not only the huge number of myopic students at Harvard, but himself...
