...University of North Dakota will use a similar approach in its bid to remain the Fighting Sioux. Says president Charles Kupchella: "We have a mission that supports Native Americans." Still, several tribes in the Dakotas have asked the school to drop the name, which Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairman Charles Murphy has called "a caricature." That term could also apply to the Savages of Southeastern Oklahoma State and the Redmen of Wisconsin's Carthage College. But both schools cite their educational partnerships with Native American groups and say they will make a community decision about the names. --By Jeninne...
Students at California's Santa Monica High are taking notes. "When you layer your shirts, you get a little tank top first and then put the longer shirts on top of it," says freshman Sara Gross, 14, of her approach to the boho style. "Some [of the tops] are button-up. Some have long sleeves and could be like a jacket, I guess. But they're all loose. They're like two times your size...
What is the best way to organize art? For the 400 years that public art museums have been around, they have mostly arranged their collections academically?by artist, chronology, genre or medium.

Critics called the series handsome and provocative, as well as simplistic and awful. It was also the final show in the old MOMA building and a laboratory for installations in the new one, an elegant $425 million structure that...
...arrondissement, the Pompidou decided to stay open and refit one floor at a time. So while part of the building is getting its sprinklers, the Pompidou is squeezing much of its content?an astounding 850 works?into a single floor and organizing it in a novel way. This thematic approach means that you can enjoy a Laurel and Hardy film in the same room as a delightful Picasso sculpture of a girl skipping rope (under the subtheme "childhood"). Or a Bauhaus-inspired Marcel Breuer dining-room set in front of the energetic Wassily Kandinsky painting Auf Weiss II (1923)?subtheme...
