Students elected to the Undergraduate Council often expect to endure their classmates’ ridicule and the administration’s cold shoulder. What they don’t expect to endure is several thousand dollars in personal credit card debt. Personal debt, however, is exactly the predicament that council members Trisha S. Dasgupta ’03 and Robert M. Gee ’02 currently face. In February, Dasgupta and Gee doled out $600 and $1300, respectively, in order to cover over-budget costs of a Harvard-sponsored summit of the Ivy Council—an umbrella organization...

...will stay on course for independence, but it will be a lot more difficult now. Essentially, these results show that the country is deeply divided between those who want independence and those who want to remain part of the Yugoslav federation. Djukanovic's coalition came out only a few thousand votes ahead of the parties that want to remain in Yugoslavia. Of course the support of the liberals tips the balance in his favor, but that also makes his life more difficult because the liberals will also push him to move faster on independence than he would like...
