www.colleges.com March 2000 These days personal home pages are Simple tO Create. There are three elements in creating a home page: web- design software, a camera, and a scanner. You don't even have to get the web-design software or suffer through a course in HTML or FTP (file transfer protocol) because Colleges.com 4 has just added an online home page builder that's perfect for both the novice and the advanced web designer. It's free and also saves you additional costs that you would otherwise pay for server space. While you can certainly design home pages without using photos (or you can download images off the web and avoid the scanner altogether), you'll want to understand all of your options and how to use them.

March 2000 www.colleges.com Tommy Hilfiger Spring Break is as American as apple pie and Tommy Hilfiger's signature red, white, and blue fashions make getting dressed easy. Hilfiger fashions are fun, comfortable, and equally impor- tant — affordable. Hilfiger began his retail career in 1969 with $ 150 and 20 pairs of bell-bottom jeans. You weren't born yet — but don't hold it against him. Aside from his cool threads and product lines, why do we love this man? He sails, scuba dives, and skis, and is on the board of The Fresh Air Fund and The Race to Erase MS (multiple sclerosis).

BARBIE DOLL

Barbie just turned 40. The sexy little dolls that make children laugh, and some feminists cringe, are an 11 7i-inch icon of American culture. She has gone from being a cute babe to a professional working woman. The incarnations of her development have given her new clothes, new hair-do's, new jobs, and even a new body. The original American Barbie was created by Ruth and Elliot Handler, and named after their daughter (later their little boy was immortalized with the creation of Ken). However, history be true, the original doll was actually inspired by a German doll "Lilli" who was a quasi-porno- graphic toy for men who needed such pastimes.

What better way to pass those balmy Spring Break hours than by reading the collection of twenty essays and several poems gathered by Vassar graduate, and Barbie defender, Yona Zeldis. The Barbie Chronicles allows for varying intellectual and emotional perspectives of the popular plastic toy. This is not frivolous reading — but a history lesson of American and World culture. Today, Barbie is sold in 140 countries, and made at a rate of two dolls a minute. Barbie is no dumb blond — she's a billionaire.
