...mound in the frame, Rhode Island pitcher Lee-Anne Stanovich was replaced by freshman Katie Halcomb, who then allowed five runs before finally striking out Montijo to get out of the inning...
Perks, privacy and space are great, but some students find themselves missing the mayhem of traditional dorms. "In more traditional halls, it's easier to interact," says Brian Halcomb, 20, a junior who lives in Emerson at Seattle Pacific University. "You have the common bathroom, and the rooms are closer to each other, so the casual conversations and seeing people happen much easier." To parents footing the bill, though, that can be welcome news.

Cross, who happens to prefer Mozart himself, has an explanation of why the rats agreed with his musical tastes. Schoenberg, the father of serial music, wrote works of extraordinarily complex harmonies and rhythms; in behaviorist jargon, his music is dense with "information bits."

Cross's colleague, Halcomb, who is currently bombarding the ears of a creature with a more advanced auditory system, the guinea pig, with assorted sounds, eventually hopes to apply to man what he has learned from his music-loving rats. It may be possible, he argues, that the human infant is susceptible to far more sophisticated instruction than it ordinarily gets during its first months and years. If exposure can teach a baby rat, which to some scientists is not a very reliable creature for experimentation (TIME, Feb. 21), to discriminate between Mozart and Schoenberg, who can say what...
