...addition to expanding the number of seminars offered, the University should allow students to count them for departmental credit. Freshman seminars, like tutorials, offer an intense exploration of issues presumably germane to the studies of at least one department. Seminars should therefore be accepted for departmental credit, either within a naturally related concentration or for one of the Core requirements. Accepting seminars for credit should accompany an expansion of the number of students who can take them; for example, first-years who accept advanced standing should have the option, which they currently lack, to take a seminar during spring term...

They believe they've won an outright victory in the first round, and they won't accept anything less. Nobody knows what the government will say, but it doesn't matter if Milosevic declares that he won the first round or if he orders a runoff election - either way, the opposition will call on people to defend their vote. All he has to decide now is whether...
