Eye Drop: Highlights from this week’s magazine

In 1987, Columbia became the last Ivy to graduate a coed class. In this week’s lead, four alumni from the university’s first coed class talk to Meredith Foster, Monica Carty and Rikki Novetsky about sex, dating, Lit Hum, and New York City in the 80s. [The Lead]

Is Hollywood guilty of cultural imperialism? Movies such as The Departed and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo are foreign-film remakes. Julien Hawthorne takes a look at foreign influence within the film industry. [Film + TV]

Need some music to liven up your midday treks to the library? PJ Sauertieg’s got you covered. This playlist will make that early morning walk to class (somewhat) bearable. [Eyesites]

Waistlines aren’t the only things shrinking in high fashion these days—so are the models’ ages. Vogue received heavy criticism when ten-year-old Thylane Blondeau appeared on its glossy print in high heels and “mature” clothing. Adina Applebaum examines the role of child sexualization in the fashion industry. [Style]

Was John Jay being politically incorrect? Somala Diby criticizes Black History Month for perpetuating stereotypes and simplifying African American identity. [20/20]
