...struck by the limitations of the Dowling Committee proposal; and we continue to be outraged by the lack of formal student opinion in most University decisions--from investment policy to toilet paper. But we realize that while marching in the streets to protest Harvard's irresponsible stance on its South-Africa-related investments is effective in conveying student opinion, demonstrations are unlikely to provide a pass/fail option in the Core or to bring about calendar reform. These types of decisions will always be made bureaucratically, and students must become as influential as possible within these channels as well as outside...
...John, high-school dropout and expert on stock-boying. John, however, was reluctant to share his expertise, and I was forced to teach myself tricks such as keeping my thumb out of the way of the razor blade carton opener and making sure that all the cans of toilet bowl disinfectant had their labels facing the customers...

Toward the valley, pack trains and jeeps carry food and linen to the "High Sierra Camps" operated by the Yosemite Valley concessioniers.

...activism on campus, the Student Assembly was formed. Though students realized it had no formal power, they reasoned a representative body for all undergraduates might wield some influence. But the victories of the assembly have been few and far between--it is to be credited with helping win free toilet paper for the River Houses, and last year it staged a rock concert and a poorly attended spring picnic.

...more durable educational reforms won by the college generation of the 1960s was the coeducational dormitory-and that inevitable corollary, unisex bathrooms. At the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, for instance, some two-thirds of the 11,000 students in university housing share toilet facilities with members of the opposite sex. Now, however, the Old Morality seems to be making a comeback. Citing complaints from parents, state plumbing codes that seem to require separate facilities and changing attitudes among undergraduates, the university has announced that the showers will be resegregated. "With new student populations come new moralities," says Director...
