Of those, only 1800 actually received acceptance letters. Outstanding leadership qualities and diverse talents distinguished those 1800 from the rest. We want a di- versity of talent that the whole community can share, learn and grow from, Goldrick continued. In the search for a diverse stu- dent body, Goldrick stressed that students are not accepted according to established geogra- phical quotas.

If it ever came down to a choice, and both applicants could contri- bute to the community, then I ' d call upstairs and tell them to find another bed, Goldrick stated. Through the special efforts of the Admissions Office, 1800 teenagers opened a letter dis- covering that Goldrick had found that extra bed. Jane Barber MEETING OF THE MASTERMINDS.
