...quick glance at page 60 of the Handbook for Students will show that the College has very clear minimum requirements for each student. Students who do not meet these requirements are reviewed by the Ad Board; decisions can result in no action, or in a requirement to withdraw from the College for students who have unsatisfactory records for two consecutive terms. In the 2003-2004 academic year, 166 students were placed on academic probation, and 32 students were required to withdraw from the College after academic review...
Edwards, whose 864 yards and eight touchdowns led all Harvard receivers, has returned to California to attend to an ill family member, but will certainly return for the fall semester.

An aide to one of Blair's Cabinet Ministers admits that "it will be a temptation for a lot of people to vote no. Britain isn't going to withdraw from the E.U. as a result, so if a British rejection screws up the E.U., so what?" Blair started trying to convince voters of the contrary last week. He portrayed the constitution as a basically benign tidying-up exercise that would streamline E.U. procedures to avoid gridlock as it expands...
