So researchers at the U. of Texas and the U. of Arkansas tried to determine what makes a face attractive. Using computer constructed composites, they found students generally judged composites of 16 or 32 faces more attractive than individual faces.

The winning team members more than doubled their initial funds in the Merrill Lynch Investment Challenge, which was offered this spring. The winning team members were: Jesse Lonon, whose investment portfolio was the highest earner at PSH; Steve Durant, a May, 1990 graduate; and Keith Kreger. Lonon, who will graduate in the spring, plans to attend graduate school. His goal after completion of his education is to eventually become the Chief Executive Officer of one of the Fortune 500 companies.

From 1984 to 1989, the percentage of beer drinkers in that age group slipped from 56.3% to 46.7%, while the figure declined just 1.6% for all ages. Vodka and turn drinkers dropped from 32% to 22% and from 31% to 21% respectively. The change in behavior results from the 21-year drinking age and the growth of organizations such as MADD, SADD, and BACCHUS. THE SUICIDE RATE for college students is about half the rate of non students, according to findings presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association by Allan Schwartz, chief of mental health services at the U. of Rochester.

Although Lonon, Durant and Kreger finance majors, this annual contest is open to all students enrolled in the School of Business. From the 30 colleges participating in this year's nationwide contest, the PSH team won third-place. Each contestant was given $lOO,OOO in mock funds to invest for 3 months. The individual portfolios were submitted periodically to ensure the information was accurate and up-to-date. The funds were invested in high-risk stock options, said Dr. Andreas C. Christofi, who administered the challenge on campus . The highest valued portfolios from each college were forwarded to Merrill-Lynch, who chose the winners.

It was fun to see someone who is usually very competitive pass up a ball for the person next to him/her. It was equally as humorous to see someone very quiet push a teammate out of the way to get a ball. From each of the diferrent leadership styles, we learned that when there was a mixture of leadership styles (our natural ones) we performed much better than we did when we were supposed to all act in one manner. We learned a lot about ourselves that we will all utilize in the future. "To be able to carry away an insight made it worthwhile," said Widoff.
