Their equal opportunity marketing gimmick was to come up with "White Day" on March 14th, where the men are obliged to reciprocate for their Valentine's gifts by purchasing candies and cookies. Easy enough? Well, maybe not. Expectations have grown since the 70s. According the polls, what women expect on White Day, in order of preference, are jewelry, watches, and handbags.

When she’s in trouble, she knows on her own exactly what to do— pop a pastry into the oven—but this is sadly not always the case in real life...

Opening the halls of higher education, however, provides more than just an economic benefit: graduating college prepares young adults to be concerned, responsible, happy members of society. The best props for a debate on subsidies for higher education are not balance sheets and pie charts, but rather people whose lives were changed for the better when doors that had always been closed opened before their eyes. Still, this bill hardly flings open the gates to American colleges. In fact, it simply undoes a $12 billion cut to the federal student loan program that was enacted...
