If first years were taught a few basics during freshman week—that one shot won’t kill you but a whole bottle of Jack Daniels might, or that drinking on an empty stomach is a dangerous enterprise—then there would be a marked decrease in first-year alcohol abuse. A brief, rudimentary education program could also combat habitual over-consumption; once students know the danger signs, such as drinking heavily four or five days a week, they might be able...

"For the first time in a while, fashion is more about pleasing a woman than a girl," says Joan Kaner, senior vice president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus. Next year Ralph Lauren plans to feature pleated natural-waistline pants, and Anne Klein will show high-waistline pants accented with wide leather-paneled belts.
