Everyday it piles up with reminders of my failure: worried TFs wondering why I missed the past three sections, irate professors demanding office hour visits, senior tutors wanting to “sit down and talk.” I’ve been over quota for a week now, but FAS still won’t bounce my e-mails back!

After years of court-ordered desegregation, the school district will appear before the U.S. Supreme Court next Monday, arguing that it should be allowed to use the same system voluntarily...
