...double thumbs-up for your articles on the Games [SUMMER OLYMPICS, Sept. 11]. Here in Nigeria just as much fuss is made about them as everywhere else. That is true despite the fact that we just won our first gold medals in 1996 in Atlanta. We would count ourselves lucky if our athletes as a group could win the five gold medals that runner Marion Jones is aspiring to capture all by herself.

We recommend an aggressive expansion of the program, and the acceptance of these reforms would be a welcome first step...
...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...
