This does not mean that the 24-man admissions committee-composed of staff and a varying number of Faculty-has only to rate its 7000 applicants on "personality," and then simply accept the 1400 or so with the highest ratings; for example, no student will be accepted unless the committee believes he can at least get C's here.

Other countries' hopes for restraining inflation without recession depend in great part on how quickly the U.S. cools its overheated economy.
