But, mostly, it's as fun to get laughs now as it was when I was cracking wise from the back of the room in fifth grade. I get a surge of pleasure each time I score with my New York Times shtick: "The Times still hasn't figured out how to handle gossip.

Kovacevich '99 would defend his family's labor practices in light of the United Farm Workers' longstanding boycott of the fruit because of allegations of mistreatment of grape workers. Like-wise, Sergio J. Campos '00, a leader of RAZA, a Mexican-American/Latino student group, said by virtue of his Hispanic heritage, it should come as no surprise that he organized a candlelight vigil in honor of the laborers, who are often migrant Mexicans and Mexican-Americans...
