Is it too easy to get into university?
Article Abstract:
Some students have been accepted for university admission despite low Advanced-level pass grades or even examination failure, with some academics claiming that students who have no formal qualifications can still obtain first class degrees if they are sufficiently motivated. Other academics believe course quality is dependent upon the quality of the participating students. Universities are financially penalised if they fail to attract the required number of applicants. A-levels should be used to ration course availability, say some academics, while others claim higher education opportunities should be available to all.

Film issues
Article Abstract:
The UK's fiercely competitive cinema market needs a steady stream of quality films to encourage national admissions growth. Operators are becoming selective about sites, but in some areas, such as Manchester and Birmingham, there is a danger of oversupply. The competitive market means further rationalisation within the rapidly maturing industry. Dodona forecasts admissions in 1999 will reach 137 million, against 135.5 million in 1998 and rising to 150 million in 2000.
