Some chicks go to college expecting to study, socialize and maybe meet the man of their dreams.
But on some campuses, the only males co-eds come across these days are the ones that teach their classes or man the cafeteria. That's because the number of young men going to college has been cut in half over the last four decades, while the number of women seeking degrees has grown. Educators say that because of the way boys are raised and schooled, they are academic late bloomers and not ready at 18 years old to attend college. In other words, begin affirmative action programs for men. In 1900, males received 80.9 percent of the country's bachelor degrees.
