Unfortunately, as the admissions guide, to its credit, mentions, standing between you and that Nobel Laureate is your teaching fellow. What the guide neglects to elaborate upon, however, is the extent to which you must depend on your section leader: he/she interprets the word from on high, answers your questions, and perhaps most importantly, grades your papers. If a teaching system which gives disproportionate weight to section leaders than to full professors is accepted on face value (which is, of course, debatable), for $20,000, competent section leaders does not seem like too much...
Clearly, student organizations that depend on the University for financial support deserve better than being relegated to musty, cramped basements or the dorm rooms of their members. It is true that a new center would provide many groups with larger and more attractive offices.

Deprived of realistic road maps as to how either candidate would behave in the White House, voters were almost forced to depend on factors of character and personality to predict presidential performance. As they have through much of the campaign, both Bush and Dukakis peppered the debate with carefully chosen code words designed to camouflage their vulnerabilities. Bush, whose privileged background is alien to the life experience of most Americans, kept harping on the word values as he proclaimed that he was in tune with "the heartbeat of the country." For Dukakis, who often seems closer in spirit to Roger...
