...possibility," Ackerman says, "is that more students respond to feelings of fatigue by increasing rather than decreasing their efforts." This, however, could reveal a flaw in the study. By limiting the sample group to college freshman, the researchers did not get a look at an entire category of kids: those who took the SAT in high school, did poorly, and never went on with their education.

The UC cannot respond to the budget crisis alone, and I hope that in the next semester students will continue to join forces with the UC and the administration in the tenuous process of cutting back...
