...wish to respond to Laura Wharton's letter of November 6. Ms. Wharton states that last weekend's conference on the Middle East, sponsored by an ad-hoe group of students calling themselves the Middle East Education Project (MEEP), was designed to be, at least in part, a forum for the views of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

I've heard of steamier romances, but I can't imagine the dean of students would have tolerated this one. Maybe Cintra used to visit Wayne at the Wharton School when she was down in the area visiting her grandparents, but those hardly seem like the best circumstances for a young couple to get to know one another...
