...upperclassmen drag themselves back to class and the Class of 2011 exuberantly swarms the Yard, one thing seems to be missing: any indication of the new General Education curriculum that the Faculty passed last May. Freshmen—and their advisers—barely know of its existence. Faculty members—whose enthusiasm is critical to get the new program off the ground—seem apathetic.

They had no timeouts left...
