II. Republicans for Traditional Values Discussion - Wednesday - In his new book, Manliness, Professor Harvey Mansfield discusses the suppression of manliness in today's "gender-neutral" society.

Contact Chris (clacaria@fas) for more information.

Diversity Conference - Sunday - This Sunday, May 7, Harvard will host an afternoon of intriguing panels, lively town halls, and enlightening discussions on diversity issues pertinent to both Harvard and the country at large.
