Necessary absurdity
	Students Against Sweatshops held a rally in front of the Administration building last Friday to show President Peter Likins just how serious it is about its request that he withdraw the UA from the federally sponsored Fair Labor Association and enter it into the independent Worker Rights Consortium.
