...thirstiest "Cowboys" seem to be women -and college students of both sexes. Explains Stewardess Becky Schnehl: "Maybe it's a carryover from their milkshake days. The sweetness appeals, and so does the fact that they usually can't taste the alcohol in it." Elaine Drakos, a teacher from Huntington, Long Island, has found another virtue in Cows. Says she: "They're great on cereal...
Hiring Mothers. Schools that elect to participate in E.C.E. receive an extra $170 per student to create their own programs geared to each child's "learning profile."

That clause requires the president to cite specific, substantive reasons for terminating the contract of an individual faculty member...

Despite the strong moral and financial support Rosenthal has received from students and faculty at Boston State, and from teacher's unions and professional associations across the state, the outcome of his fight for academic freedom, a fight he now plans to carry into Federal District Court, remains uncertain. What is certain is that if colleges continue to use tenure as a means of silencing those who espouse unfavorable political...
