...game long decided, Big Red rooters risked the referee's wrath as they tossed a smorgasbord of seafood and fowl--some as energetic as backskating defensemen--on to the ice before the third period started.

Guarantee the Product. To prove that, say, biology graduates can distinguish fish from fowl, Mars Hill College, just outside Asheville, N.C., backs its diplomas with special tests that lead to "competency" certificates.

Postpubescent lads, like the winning Aggie football team, matriculate to manhood here under expert tutelage. The prevailing tuition fee is $3. "That's back in the days of Roosevelt nooky, not Carter coffee," says one character who clearly intends to hold the line...
