Graduate from college these days and chances are you'll get more than a diploma. Hundreds of schools now offer lifetime e-mail addresses for alums. Get an ''alum. Swarthmore.edu'' address if you've graduated from Swarthmore College. The University of Pennsylvania offers ''alumni.upenn.edu,'' while California's Harvey Mudd College gives out ''alumni.hmc.edu'' addresses to graduates.

Schools will be stuffing campus mailboxes in the coming weeks informing graduating seniors of this increasingly popular perk. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a full-page ad in its ''Technology Review'' magazine this month. ...

Headline: 'Swarthmouth' and Other College Choices

May 18, 2001

By NANCY DONEHOWER

BODY:

Year after year, most high-school counselors see their students apply to roughly the same small group of colleges. Those groups vary from high school to high school, of course, and they vary within a high school if the current seniors have lived in several states during their school careers, or if their relatives have attended a broad range of colleges. Nonetheless, the same institutions continue to attract most of the applications. At a time when information about colleges is more easily available than ever before, and when colleges are spending more money to get that information to students, why should that be so?

Even before young people begin to think seriously about which colleges they might want to attend, they absorb information about various institutions from the ambient atmosphere. That information coalesces in interesting ways -- as in the case of one ninth grader I know, who recently announced that her favorite college is "Swarthmouth."

A recent visitor to the school's 40-acre campus here just over the border from Bronxville gathered much evidence of the sort that prompted the editors of the current Fiske Guide to Colleges to declare, "The students and faculty at Sarah Lawrence College believe that there aren't any rules, and if they do exist they are made to be broken." That spirit has long imbued the 1,000-student college, and has remained through its transformation from a women's college to a co-ed school in 1968 -- a transformation that has been less successful than at other former single-sex schools.

But something else has lingered too -- a serious shortage of money. Sarah Lawrence has been strapped for cash ever since its founding in 1926 by William Van Duzer Lawrence (he named the school after his wife, Sarah).

...

Today, the school rests uneasily on an endowment of only $46.4 million. That sounds like a lot, but is small change compared with competitors like Williams ($1.3 billion) and Swarthmore ($963 million).

...

"Despite being under-resourced, Sarah Lawrence is an exceedingly high performance school," he said. "It has going for it a student-to-faculty ratio of 6 to 1, and there isn't another school in the 1,000 we represent that does as well. The closest are Amherst and Swarthmore, both of which have an 8 to 1 ratio. Most others have a 10 or 12 to 1 ratio."

A new Florida law limiting people to one $500 loan at a time and capping transaction fees at a flat 10 percent rate is only the latest state reform, backed partly by military muscle. "It's not just Florida but California, Texas, Washington state, the Carolinas, Georgia - wherever there's a steady paycheck a lender can attach when family illness, car repairs or other emergency leaves too much month at the end of the money," said Adm. Jerry Johnson, head of the Navy-Marine Relief Society.

...

Payday loans were unknown a decade ago, but 10 years of deregulation has seen them explode across the financial landscape: Today 13,000 payday loan offices nationwide extend small, short-term loans, usually at triple-digit interest rates. Because the business is so lucrative, investment analysts predict the number will swell to 25,000 offices doing $45 billion in business by 2002.

Absent federal action, said Swarthmore College economist John Caskey, a student of payday lending, "It's unclear states can regulate payday lending on their own, for all the attempts to crack down."

The broad, pointed leaves unfurl in graceful, sweeping gestures around the leaf stalks. Red, yellow, orange or pink flowers, sometimes charmingly spotted, shoot up from their leafy tops. Hummingbirds love these flowers.

The college arboretum is designed to provide ideas for home gardeners, and last summer tropical cannas of every stripe were prominently featured among nearly 100 containers planted with terrific combinations of annual plants.

When Soka University of America opens its doors to students for the first time this fall, the county's newest liberal-arts college will be an experiment in equality. It's all part of the university's Buddhist philosophy, which emphasizes a humanistic respect for all life. And it's a far cry from the way that most American universities are run.

For Nicole Chu, who waited until the last minute to choose which college to attend this fall, Soka wasn't an easy choice. After all, being admitted to Ivy League colleges like Brown University and Swarthmore, and prestigious public schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley can create a paralyzing welter of choices for an 18-year-old. Ultimately, though, the Culver City resident said she chose Soka.

"It's a risk I'm taking,'' Chu said. I loved Brown and Swarthmore, because they have so many talented, creative and smart people. But I thought I could help create that at Soka. It is a place that is special and different.'' ...

The Princeton Review this year ranked Colgate University No. 14 among the nation's best colleges for "lots of hard liquor," and reported that fraternities and sororities dominate the social scene. University trustees want to alter that reputation and quickly. By the time students return to campus after summer break, they may find the university has big plans for Fraternity Row and the century-plus old Greek system.

Shain said some of his colleagues would also like to see the university's Division I sports programs eliminated. Without top-tier athletics or a Greek system, he said, Colgate would appear to have more in common with schools higher up on the list. "They would like this to be Swarthmore or Oberlin," Shain said. "It's not the right of the faculty to decide who they're going to teach. We have a unique niche. The faculty doesn't seem to be taking that into consideration."

BRYN MAWR, Pa. _ You can't preach it but you can teach it. A panel of scholars had that simple message for secondary-school teachers and curriculum planners convened here on a recent weekend: Though you cannot promote religion, the courts give you the green light to teach your students about religion's impact on history and society. And to teach it often and in depth.

...

Swarthmore College professor James Kurth, a member of the concluding panel, encouraged that effort _ which he called "breaking out of the tyranny of the textbook." He said he does it with his own political-science classes, and he offered some tips on how to do it with nuance. Present religious thought as an "alternative interpretation" of material, Kurth said. For instance, he said, when delving into economic theory, he has had his students read a papal encyclical on the topic. Similarly, teaching about faith-based "conceptions of sacrifice and service held by different ethnic groups" has enhanced certain sociology and politics lessons, he said. "It's easy but superficial to teach about a religion in secular terms, about its rise and fall, its competition with other groups," Kurth said. "Getting the voices inside, the primary sources, is the hard part."

Last fall, members of the Student Alliance to Reform Corporations (STARC) converged at Yale University to discuss a strategic plan for corporate reform that would begin with the universities we attend. If our universities are going to invest and thereby become part-owners in socially irresponsible corporations and if, as students, we benefit from the profits of our university's investments in the form of financial aid or new buildings, we need to assume responsibility for the other implications of those investments.

As the title suggests, this book is a collection of the reflections of well-known scholars on the ways in which their careers and institutions (as well as teaching and research directions in their disciplines) were affected by the postwar political climate in the United States. The contributions are uneven, but the cumulative accounts shed piercing light on the impact of the Cold War.

Yale labor historian David Montgomery recalls an idyllic undergraduate life at Swarthmore in the years immediately following the Second World War. War, peace, and the big issues of political economy were freely debated, as were alternative paths for basic social change. A decade later, after a stint as a machinist, he found universities joining in the celebration of the American century and heralding productivity as the key to global development. But along with other contributors, he saw also that the bottom-up social criticism triggered by the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements was invigorating the campus and the nation. ...

This is a story of an accidental tourist. And talk about a race fan. He's been following the sport for 70 years and saw his first Kentucky Derby in 1939. His multi-colored sports jackets, his moustache and his trenchant, literary sports essays were on-air trademarks. Heywood Hale "Woody" Broun, 83, covered more than a dozen Kentucky Derby races for CBS and ABC sports, beginning in 1966.

This year, he came to Lexington to see the horses run in the spring meet at Keeneland Race Course. He fell, broke his right hip, had surgery and is in rehabilitation at Cardinal Hill Hospital. That's the same hospital he once helped raise money for by appearing on the facility's annual telethon.

There's a story in how Broun became a TV personality. First he was a writer and actor. His father, Heywood Broun, was a famous New York newspaper columnist, and his mother, Ruth Hale, was an early feminist who retained her single name after marriage. "Unfortunately, my father was a compulsive gambler," he said. "I had a telephone account with a bookie by the time I was a teen-ager. This later caused problems at Swarthmore, a small, Quaker college near Philadelphia, where I went to school. I would place bets for the other students."

After college and Army service in World War II, Broun became a newspaper baseball writer.

The Adams family of Brighton, Australia, relies on the Internet for results of the Maryland women's lacrosse team. If they depended on their youngest daughter, Jen -- the starting midfielder for the six-time defending NCAA champion Terrapins -- they never would get the whole story. "Jen would never tell us if she played a good game or even if she broke a record," said Trish Adams, Jen's older sister and a former Terrapins player. "She always says, 'I played okay' or 'I played all right.' We have a dedicated grandpa who prints a copy of the information from the Internet. He has it at our house before we get a chance to speak with her."

Jen Adams usually plays better than okay. The two-time NCAA Division I player of the year needs two points to become the NCAA women's all-time leading scorer. Her 419 career points are one shy of the record set by Karen Emas (now Borbee) of the University of Delaware from 1981 to '84.
