Roxanne Perskie, Al Pryzhylkowski Crackdown on Student Drinking One oft he most cherished of all student activities is under attack. Across the country, states are raising their legal drinking ages to 21 in response to a federal campaign against drunken driving, and colleges are enforcing tougher alcohol regu lations. Whether this will reduce student drink ing, or just drive it underground, remains to Be! seen. An accompanying story examines serious drinking problems among students. Page'6 The Look of the Campus, Then and Now It may have Greek revival facades and Oxbridgian quadrartgleSi but the architecture of the American university is .as native as baseball. Based on egalitar ian ideals and openness to the environment, the de sign of our universities reflects the history and nature of the institution. Page 22 Business: How to Get Credit, Divestment Students are discovering that getting credit may not be as hard as it seems. The principal reason: creditors know that students are good customers, now and later. Newsweek On Campus explains the credit rating game. Page 16 For more than a decade, universities have agonized about whether they should hold stock in companies that do business in South Africa. Now the debate has intensified once more, as many students urge schools to put their money w here their ideals are. Page 17 Education: Older Students, Vietnam Older students attending college face a special set of problems—trying to study while raising a family, sometimes being shunned by their teachers and fel low’ students. But they are a particularly pragmatic and determined group. /’age 32 The Vietnam War is like ancient history to many current students. But the Vietnam experience helped shape today's America, and an increasing number of college courses are explaining how. Page 34 The Secretary of Education Comes On Strong William Bennett quickly stirred up controversy with his enthusiastic support of student-aid cuts and his outspoken criticism of undergrads who might benefit from “divestiture” of cars, stereos and three-week vacations. In an interview, he elaborates on his views. Page 21 mw I Arts and Entertainment: Music, Movies, Books Talking Heads' leader David Byrne keeps heads turning with two new albums; “Sure Thing" makes star John Cusack a sure thing; two talented women, singer-model-actress Whitney Houston and novelist Elizabeth Tallent, show their stuff; new-wave country rock band Jason and the Scorchers do their first LP. Page 2H MULTIPLE CHOICE Doug Flutie’s legacy at Boston College; two books to speed you on the corporate fast track; flunking teacher education; a student exchange with Japan; the weird world of parliamentary debate; coffee makers try to perk up your interest. Page 14 MY TURN: LIFE AS AN R.A. Resident assistants are often thought of only as policemen, laments Bob Garrison. In fact, they do everything from advising on courses to easing students out of dan gerous stress situations. R.A.'s have woes —but also great joys. Page ■ Nl N\s\M I K Inc , 444 M.iilison Avenue.
