Foreign students who need to work to support themselves must first get special work permits, but even with such a permit they cannot work more than 20 hours a week on an off-campus job (except during summer vacations).

The Form will retain much of the Telegraph's flavor. "Chart Callers," for example, will still encapsulate the drama of a race with the same terse economy they exercised in each issue of the Telegraph: "SOLAR NAIL saved ground from the start, got through rallying in the stretch and outgamed ODDS HAVE IT to the wire." Or "BOBS B BEES quickest to begin, moved...
