...students now live in them. Do men and women who eat, study and brush their teeth together also tend to go to bed together? How does living in close proximity (which may range from neighboring rooms to adjacent wings) affect the way they feel about each other? With a survey of a small sampling of 96 Radcliffe girls, Psychiatrist Elizabeth Aub Reid gives some answers in the current American Journal of Psychiatry...
...history, college youth-the chief source of social dissidence in the '60s-has moved swiftly toward reconciliation with the larger society, while the noncollege majority has taken over many of the campus-bred values." So says Social Psychologist Daniel Yankelovich, whose research firm has just completed an extensive survey of American youth for five private foundations.* Among the survey's major findings and conclusions about college youth...
...mine-safety regulations have cut into productivity in mining for the past two or three years. Beyond that, part of the longer-term problem is rooted in social changes. There is an increasing restiveness among young workers, reflected in on-the-job drug use, alcoholism and high absenteeism.

...greenliners have a long way to go. Though banks and other lenders mostly deny that redlining still exists, a recent federal survey indicates other wise. Government investigators found that savings and loans collected $110 million in deposits from residents of two middle-class Chicago neighborhoods last year but disbursed less than $3 million in mortgage money back into those localities; most of the money was loaned to suburban borrowers, often at interest rates far lower than those paid by city home buyers.
