...prepares to join the E.U. next year, and the euro zone, possibly, in 2007. Leszek Miller's government is backing a tough new austerity package, cutting spending by €6.9 billion within four years.

It would be a far bigger step than even Hillary Clinton's 1994 proposal, which never made it to the floor of either house...
Independent adult students have a right to make their own housing decisions. But if parents are paying for college and housing, they deserve to have some say over their investment, over whom their child can live with. As a compromise, the school could allow the majority payer of each student's tuition decide whether the student may live in coed housing or not. First years shouldn't be randomly placed in coed dorms, but upperclassmen should have the right to live with whomever they want, male or female. We live in a pluralistic society, and the university...
