Dzambukira said that overall, he saw the policy as an “equity” issue that gives wealthier students an advantage in traveling abroad.

The Register has also beaten back a determined raid into its area by the wealthier Times, which has vied to boost the readership of its Orange County edition (weekday circ. 164,000) with little success. The Register, by contrast, has upped its circulation since 1979 by 36%, to 274,000. The competition grew keener last spring, when the Register won a Pulitzer for its photographic coverage...
