Meanwhile, University officials announce that only 90 students, most of them freshmen, have enrolled in Core courses for the spring semester. Moral Reasoning 78, "The String Quartet in 17th Century Austrian Suburbs," with an enrollment of six, is the most popular. "We seem to be encountering some resistance," W.C.
