...forced the situation to a vote probably makes it more difficult for Napolitano to find consensus for a caretaker government to usher in a badly needed electoral reform before going back to the polls.

...final decisions on it,” Connolly said.Luca Candelori ’08, said he has never filled out a Q evaluation because he does not use the guide himself.“I’m a math major, so I have to take some classes regardless of what people say,” he said. “And in math they change professors every year. For [Core Curriculum courses] and the rest, I ask my friends. I find that’s a little more reliable.”—Staff writer Benjamin...
