A party in South House, now part of Cabot, held in November 1978 carried the toga craze to its peak on campus, drawing throngs of students—and troupes of police officers—to the southern edge of the Quad for what became the most notorious weekend of the year...

Both drinks boast about half the carbs, sugar and calories of regular colas while promising a fuller flavor than diet sodas. The balancing act is achieved with a mixture of corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. But how do they stack up to the originals?

But they're still racing to de-carb themselves faster than the doughboy next door. Hedging their bets may be a smart move, since Americans eat 7% less wheat flour today (137 lbs. annually) than in 1997, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bread industry's research found that 40% of consumers cut down on bread last year compared with 2002. Not to mention pasta, potatoes and pizza...
