...know how large the Asian carp population would need to get before it becomes self-sustaining and morphs from nuisance into true threat. And some doubt the fish will ever make it into the lakes, given their need to spawn in long, fast-flowing rivers like the Illinois.

At Princeton, nearly half of all freshmen enrolled in HUM 216-219, the year-long, four-course freshman humanities sequence, have dropped it. According to The Daily Princetonian, 43 freshmen enrolled at the beginning of last semester, but only 26 are still registered for the course. The reasons...
