...already, exceptions are made for special cases like winter coats or the Student Events Fund, which pays for tickets to campus events which students on financial aid might not otherwise be able to attend.

Post Sept. 11, with Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf being appreciated in the West for his efforts to tackle terrorism and slammed by his own people at home, the general sentiment in India is that of despair: it is doubtful that international pressure can bring about an amicable solution...
