Twelve or more hours a day, seven days a week in March and early April, advocates argue and re-argue their cases, votes are called, applicants are disposed of. As an advocate argues, the Dean pencils notes into his seven-inch thick loose-leaf filled with computer forms. In the notebook used by former admissions dean Fred L.
