...contradiction between the Core and Advanced Standing was first pointed out to CUE by student members of ERG. The only ways to achieve logical consistency are to abolish the Sophomore Standing Program entirely or to accept the concept (proposed by a CUE faculty member) of a one-to-one credit system between A.P. and Harvard courses. Neither change is likely to be adopted soon...
Short of achieving logical consistency, proper Core credit must be assured for Advanced Standing students. Admittedly, faculty politics are important, but students' welfare should take priority.

One way for Muzorewa to regain his domestic popularity, for instance, would be to take credit for a reasonable peace settlement. The African front-line states, whose populations, border areas, and economics have been ravaged by the war, would also welcome peace, but politically they have too much at stake to end the war for a shabby settlement. The present Zimbabwe constitution--in which whites control the courts, military, police and civil service, hold enough guaranteed parliamentary seats to block constitutional changes, and receive...
