...Hannah Choi '01, Christopher M. Kirchhoff '01, Dana M. Kupersmith '01, Adam Lauridsen '01, Jacqueline A. Newmyer '01, Aneesh V. Raman '01, S. Albert Wang '01 and Christian J. Westra '01--as graduating seniors and former SAC members, have withheld public comment during the restructuring process with the hope that the Institute could find an improved student role.

Jia got funds for his next film, Platform (2000), in part from Japanese star Takeshi Kitano...

This fall applications rose 10%, with 1 in 6 scores withheld. Now it's crunch time for the school's admissions officers, who have holed up in an unassuming white clapboard house on campus to carry out the new policy.
