Included in the conference will be eight workshops on issues ranging from Third World unity to college admission quotas for Asian-Americans. Irene Shih '90, a former AAA representative to ECASU, said the Harvard group will conduct a two-hour workshop, entitled "Asian-American/Ethnic-American Studies," on the need to represent varied ethnicities in college curricula...

That, said the Pontiff, amounted to nothing less than a "betrayal of humanity's legitimate expectations."
