COURSE REGISTRATIONS for upcoming second-years start in a week (July 13) and already, a plethora of courses are either full or teetering at that point, with three seats left, give or take. I was looking forward to taking PHIL 385: Existentialism, before it filled up. I watched it diminish from 90 seats to 40 to 3 and then to nothingness.

Surprisingly, they have emerged rather successfully from the oven…to grabby hands (teenage brother in a growth spurt will demolish any freshly baked goods).
