...extend the democracy of a diverse campus and to energize the half-dead social life, the college needs to move swiftly. One key proposal is a student center with room for campus organizations, bands, pubs, and gathering--open to all students. The center would boost campus cohesion and activity, just as house life has fragmented it. While the houses offer an important range of artistic and tutorial services, a campus-wide student center would provide benefits they cannot offer. As student tuitions continue to rise beyond inflation to fund the growing budget, now is a key time to accommodate student...

...sense, auto and airline congestion are parallel problems, each with its own causes and remedies, but the two forms of gridlock intersect in a harmful way on the bottom line of U.S. businesses.

Riney's nostalgic soft-sell campaign, which now features a freckle-faced boy from 1920s-era California, helped boost sales 100% in three years. It also landed Riney the national account for Perrier in 1986, which is currently worth $20 million.
