...informed the Vatican that it considered the Pope's meeting with Arafat unhelpful. Indeed, there were questions about why the spiritual leader of the world's largest Christian body would meet openly with the commander of an organization that has in the past endorsed terrorism as a tactic. John Paul kept the 20-min. audience low key; according to the Vatican communiqué, he told Arafat of his "constant concern to favor the difficult process of peace in the Middle East...
...year history, RUS has had a rather impressive record of lobbying the College for action on issues like rape security, tenuring women, and sexual harassment. On those issues, its voice has often been alone. If RUS at times seems overly vocal, that tactic is only appropriate, since these are the very issues on which the University is most secretive.

The hope of the Administration is to get both the Israelis and the Arabs to bend. But if all else failed, some U.S. officials privately concede, the Administration would...
...groups share one overriding tactic, it is probably just educating the wider public about their particular viewpoint in an attempt to dispell myths about the groups. La Raza, the Chicano group, held a series of cultural celebrations last year, primarily to introduce the Harvard community to Chicano culture, Patricia Corrales '84, a member of the group's steering committee, says. ABLE is working on a slide and video presentation to be shown in the Science Center this fall, dispelling myths about the disabled perpetuated in the popular culture. And the GSA again last year held Gay and Lesbian Awareness...
