...what you're left with is 250 students, all taking the same courses. This does not promote the world's liveliest social atmosphere. Imagine enrolling in Chem 20, notorious for its wonks, whizzes, grade-grubbers and applepolishers, and then discovering that not only must you spend all day in class with the other Chem 20 students, but you must also hang around with them every night...

Since summer the new silhouette, mostly in denim and corduroy, has been cropping up increasingly, combined with close-fitting T shirts, dressy silk blouses, and short boots. Response to the new look so far has been liveliest in New York City and Miami, where buyers for department stores are having trouble keeping up with demand. French versions of the baggy jeans, dubbed "Texas," sell for more than $75 at such trendy New York stores and boutiques as Bendel and Henry Lehr; U.S.-made baggies are cheaper. Bloomingdale...
