...huddled under two quilts, a sleeping bag and a wool blanket--dressed in a sweatshirt, jeans and two pairs of socks--I thought of calling our hapless flunky again, but decided against it. If the University cannot figure out that rooms get cold when the temperature dips into the 30s, can it be expected to turn on the heat--all the while adhering to its procedural requirements--at some ungodly hour of the morning...
...sportswear is renowned for its sexy variations on the sweatshirt, but lately Designer Norma Kamali has been perspiring about her unwanted association with a different fashion tradition: the sweatshop. Last week the New York State department of labor said it had slapped Kamali with a record $10,000 fine for illegally employing workers to cut and sew garments for her at home.

...Harvard. You know all your relatives are dying for an article of clothing with that name on it. The Coop (1400 Mass. Ave.) sells a crimson Champion sweatshirt for $45 or a striped scarf for $25. A pair of Harvard booties at $8.50 will make the perfect gift for the baby in the family. Feeling Scrooge-ish? Buy a 29-cent Harvard pencil or a 90-cent bar of Harvard soap...
