...system can be totally equitable and account for all contingencies; courses should accomodate all comers whenever possible. Nevertheless, the College should adopt one uniform policy for limiting enrollment so that students can realistically assess their chances of getting into a popular course and plan accordingly. After the mix-ups in Lit and Arts B-16--in which students were mistakenly told that freshmen and sophomores would be excluded, only to find the Core policies dictated a random lottery--Core Director Edward T. Wilcox has said administrators are working toward such a uniform policy for all Core classes...
...demonstrated in last summer's Gregory 's Girl, Bill Forsyth is a master of the throwaway turnabout. Here, with a tenser situation and a somewhat richer mix of characters, he makes about the kind of advance one would expect from him, modest and self-effacing.

...light of public scrutiny, while P.M. is a reporter on the take, leaving the dealings of this sponsors in darkness and symbolizing the evil of the evening. While P.M. is sexually conquering A.M., evil is running rampant in the O'Brien administration. Kennedy, a professor of psychology, manages to mix pop psychology and symbols in with sex, violence and political corruption; the result is more like a T.V. movie than anything resembling literature...
