...does the Sunshine State feel compelled to cut in line like this? Florida has traditionally held its primaries in March - so late in the year as to render the voting remarkably inconsequential given the large load of delegates the state sends to both the Democratic and Republican national conventions. But if 2000 embarrassed Florida, it almost emboldened it: it showed the state - which may pass New York in the next census as the nation's third most populous state - what a potential bellwether and kingmaker it had become.

A second area of reform is the health services administration—its provost-led executive council unacceptably lacks student representation. Though they do a commendable job, more could be improved. The absence...
