...important, but students' welfare should take priority. Dr. Davis feels that students who accept Sophomore Standing and stay four years can "abuse" the program to reduce their Core requirements.

This is the most important benefit for students who do stay a fourth year. Dr. Davis's proposed legislation would empower the Core Committee to rescind Core credit previously granted to such students. The ERG has been virtually unanimous in its belief that forcing students presumably...
Second, the U.S. has more reason to regard a strict, perhaps unsavory internal regime in a country as viable if that country faces an external threat.

A big reason why policymakers in Washington are agonizing heavily over Chrysler's petition for federal help is the stark fact that if the company were to close down, the nearly $1 billion in unfunded pension obligations that it would leave be hind could exhaust the private-pension rescue fund that...
...miles yearly promoting the product for present owner Heublein, Inc. Lest anyone think he's less than finger-lickin' good at his job, the colonel led his admiring crowd in a rousing version of My Old Kentucky Home. · In 25 years, Playboy has uncovered 305 Playmates, reason enough for Publisher Hugh Hefner to invite them to a grand anniversary bash. Among the 136 who came was blond Janet Pilgrim, whose three centerfolds in 1955-56 remain the individual record. Considering what her successors have been revealing, Pilgrim was positively coy. One pose, reproduced at the party, shows...
