Salmon that are free to roam the ocean enjoy a diet of fresh fish, which have eaten smaller fish, which in turn have eaten still smaller fish. At the bottom of that food chain are algae, the key to salmon's health benefits. Algae boast a special kind of fat, known as omega-3 fatty acids, that seems to help the heart.

Instead, maintaining current party restrictions would continue to force undergraduates to roam the streets searching for final clubs and bars after College-sponsored parties end.
