In Their Element
(07/23/97 4:00am)
A debate is in progress in a second-floor classroom of the Carr Building on East Campus. The issue at hand: Is affirmative action reverse discrimination? The two opposing groups-the Vegetarians and Utopia-are lined up in desks on either side of the room. Members of each group hurl point and counter-point at each other. Utopians suggest that affirmative action be replaced by a lottery system and additional scholarships. The Vegetarians don't buy it. "We're in a deadlock here," someone announces.
