...week Utah Attorney General Robert Hansen filed a similar plea for all cases involving his state. In Washington, the Senate has authorized an admittedly superfluous third federal judge for Utah, and a House subcommittee has approved repeal of a grandfather clause, which could also cost Ritter his power to assign cases.

...schools' major objection to the law is that they will have no voice in the transfer process: HEW, in fact, will summarily assign eligible students to existing openings.

This system drew criticism by some as tending to homogenize the residents of individual Houses and even excluding certain students from some Houses. Critics find similar faults with the new transfer process. "It means a kind of battle to please the master. I don't imagine this change will make...
