We were pleased to see that University of Colorado regents plan to take time from their busy schedules — most of them have day jobs, you know — to reach out and call some of the state's top students who have applied to that school and urge them to enroll.

But as useful as such outreach might prove to be, we suspect that more of this state's best students may wind up on the CU-Â鶹ӰԺ campus next fall mainly for another reason: because the school has enticed them with attractive scholarship packages.
