...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.
