That is, as far as I know, because I lived in one of the east-side dorms, and didn't get to the other side of campus much. The other eastern dorm had a quite large apparently bisexual contingent. It seems that the nature of the east-side would have been much more tolerable toward homosexuality than that of the west-side. (On this side of campus, the incidence of female bisexuality was phenomenal. Amazing for a school with a 4:1 man-woman ratio...) -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
