...Core involves a careful study of which courses might fit the detailed guidlines the Faculty has prescribed for Core courses. The final say on this rests with the Core committees; however, Edward T. Wilcox, director of General Education, is in the middle of a preliminary study that shows that close to half the approximately 100 Gen Ed courses might, with modifications, qualify for inclusion in the Core.

...women who are loath to have their ears pierced, there is a new, no-bore way to wear earrings that nestle close to the lobe without clips. A magnetized earring is held in place by a minute cobalt-and-samarium magnet on the invisible side. Price: from $7.50 to $25.
