Harvard, I read, is going to get rid of GReek frats.  Hear the alums howl
and threaten donations.  Bad news is, Harvard already could fund a
good-sized country.  I think this is just madness to the extreme.  Did
anyone reading this ever get kicked out of a Greek, German, Cajun, etc.
festival you attended?  I think they were glad to get my money and validate
their culture.  I been welcomed everywhere and they were especially

there is another interpretation there, based on my ability to look like a
drunk giraffe while dancing). But the polka is easy - macarena NOT.
