...outcome compromised the UC’s strong stance against student group discrimination, and we were disillusioned by the procedural hanky-panky that brought it about.In the midst of the overt politicking, the UC managed a number of advocacy successes this spring. Their efforts to make Harvard maintenance workers wear identification badges while on the job were welcome, and their campaign to give Harvard students a more free choice of roommates by eliminating restrictions on mixed gender rooming will improve the quality of life of those students uncomfortable with mandated single-sex housing. Additionally, the UC advocated reduced textbook costs...
...Airness has the irresistible cool derived from celebrities the French love most: football stars. How did Koné swing that when all the pros worth recruiting were already under contracts with Nike, Adidas and Puma? "I came up with the concept of the 'extra-sports' contract - getting players to wear Airness in their private life once their on-field obligations were over," he says.

An obsessive home decorator and control freak, he challenges any gender non-conformity he discovers in his children, for example making the young Alison, whose playground nickname is "butch," wear a barrette when she doesn't want to. He also runs the family business, a funeral home, which gives the book its snarky double-entendre title. Far from fun, thanks chiefly to the father's quashing of all affections lest the "bad" one be exposed, Bechdel compares her home life...
...drag every day. He's a popular boy who performs with the girls on drill team. But last weekend, when Kevin showed up at the prom in a slinky fuschia dress, he was barred from entry by the principal. They already had a rule that boys can't wear dresses to the prom. Kevin's classmates were angry. But much of the country is siding with the principal. I disagree here. If a boy has already spent $200 on a manicure and pedicure, he should be allowed to showcase his glamorous toes...
